Ultrasound Guided Injections in Raleigh, NC
Wake Nonsurgical Ortho & Sports Medicine uses ultrasound guided injections to relieve pain, administer medication, and treat an assortment of conditions. This is a relatively new technology in the orthopedic field but is rapidly gaining in popularity.
Studies are showing that ultrasound-guided injections are far more accurate than “blind” injections. The physician has the ability to see exactly where the injection is going in and where the area is that they are targeting. With osteopathic treatments, we often work with very specific locations that are also very sensitive. At Wake Nonsurgical Ortho & Sports Medicine, using an ultrasound allows Dr. Kanaan to avoid nerves, cysts, or other obstacles and pinpoint the exact location with precision.
Ultrasound-guided injections increase the effectiveness of treatment and allow for the use of a thinner, less painful needle. These procedures do not require anesthesia, and there is no radiation from the ultrasound machine. A surprising number of patients actually enjoy watching the needle hit its target on the LCD screen.
Wake Nonsurgical Ortho & Sports Medicine provides ultrasound guided injections to treat a wide range of orthopedic conditions in Raleigh. Learn more about ultrasound guided injections and call (919) 719-2270 or schedule your appointment online today!
