Musculoskeletal ultrasound is one of the preferred exams for diagnosing certain musculoskeletal disorders, in tendons or muscles in which x-ray exams are non specific. This is an examination that is precise and dynamic.
What does an injection treatment consist of?
The drug normally injected is a derivative of cortisone. It is a natural hormone with anti-inflammatory properties.
Injections are often used and it has been demonstrated to be extremely effective in alleviating pain and promoting healing.
The procedure begins with a good local anesthetic followed by injecting cortisone directly into the problem area.
Since it reduces pain, it increases the effectiveness of physiotherapy, which is why it is often used in combination with this therapy.
If your doctor decides to repeat an injection, it is recommended to wait four to six weeks prior to doing so.
We also offer the possibility of Synvisc One. Used as an injection treatment, Synvisc One is available to you only if the referring doctor clearly indicates it on the exam request. |
