Expert Ultrasound-Guided Injections At The White Hart Clinic
Ultrasound scans use high-frequency sound waves to create a real-time image of the body’s internal structures. This allows the clinician to accurately guide a needle to the affected area and deliver medication, such as a cortico-steroid with precision.
Using ultrasound guidance improves accuracy, helps target the source of pain, and may lead to better symptom relief compared to injections performed without imaging.
What to expect:
- A discussion about your symptoms, medical history and suitability for injection treatment
- An ultrasound scan to identify the affected area and guide the injection
- A clear explanation of the procedure, benefits and any potential risks
- The injection performed under ultrasound guidance
- Advice on aftercare and what to expect following treatment
