How ultrasound-guided injections work
We believe the right treatment starts with the right diagnosis.
Your appointment journey typically involves three stages:
1. Assessment & diagnostic ultrasound
Before an injection, you will need a diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound to assess the affected area and help identify the source of your symptoms.
If you've already had a suitable diagnostic ultrasound at another clinic, please contact us to discuss whether this can be used.
2. Discuss your treatment options
Once your problem has been assessed, we will talk you through the findings and discuss the most appropriate treatment options for you.
These may include injection therapy, physiotherapy or other treatments where appropriate.

3. Ultrasound-guided injection
If an injection is appropriate, it will be performed under ultrasound guidance.
Ultrasound allows the clinician to visualise the relevant structures and guide the needle towards the intended treatment area.
Why choose an ultrasound-guided injection?
Unlike an injection performed using surface landmarks alone, ultrasound guidance allows the clinician to see the relevant anatomy during the procedure.
🎯 Precise
Ultrasound helps the clinician accurately identify the area being treated and guide the injection towards the intended location.
🔎 Informed
Your treatment can be based on the findings from your assessment and diagnostic ultrasound.
🛡️ Carefully guided
Real-time ultrasound visualisation allows the clinician to see the needle as it is positioned, helping to avoid nearby structures.
💬 Personalised
Before treatment, we will discuss your symptoms, the ultrasound findings and your treatment options so you can make an informed decision.
Ultrasound-guided injection treatments
We offer a range of injection options depending on your condition and individual circumstances.
Which injection is right for me?
There isn't one injection that's right for every condition.
The most appropriate treatment depends on factors including your symptoms, diagnosis, the affected structure and your individual circumstances.
That's why we assess the problem first rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Following your diagnostic ultrasound, we'll explain the findings and discuss the available treatment options with you.
You don't need to decide which injection you need before contacting us.
