What does the procedure involve?
MSKUS is completely painless. It involves applying ultrasound gel to the area to be assessed and the ultrasound probe is then moved over key anatomical regions. If desired, patients can see the image during the scan.
What is Ultrasound-Guided Injection Therapy?
When injecting muscles, ligaments, nerves, tendons or joints we can use the ultrasound to visualize the needle as it advances into the tissue. This allows for precise needle placement so treatment can be more exact. Guided injections are commonly employed when doing prolotherapy and platelet-rich plasma therapy.
