Ultrasound-guided injections have emerged as a valuable and precise tool for both diagnosis and treatment. This innovative approach involves using real-time ultrasound imaging to guide the accurate placement of therapeutic injections into specific anatomical structures.

Historically injections were performed without ultrasound, making them less accurate. If a patient did not respond as expected, this would often result in uncertainty - did they fail to respond because the needle was not in the right place? Ultrasound has reduced this uncertainty substantially as the needle can be guided under direct vision to the target tissue such as a tendon, bursa or joint space. Patients often report that ultrasound-guided injections are less painful too.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

Whilst there is no cure for osteoarthritis, various treatment modalities aim to alleviate symptoms and improve joint function. One such treatment gaining attention is ultrasound-guided Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections.

HA is a naturally occurring molecule found in joint fluid and cartilage, providing lubrication and shock absorption. Injections of HA into the joint aim to restore the viscoelastic properties of the synovial fluid, reduce inflammation, and improve joint function

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has emerged as a novel and promising approach in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, offering a non-invasive alternative to conventional treatments. PRP involves the extraction of a patient's own blood, processing it to concentrate platelets, and then injecting the enriched plasma into the affected area. While the procedure is widely used and considered safe, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) currently deems it experimental, though evidence is mounting in support of its efficacy.

Steroid (cortisone) injections

Steroid injections, also known as corticosteroid or ‘cortisone’ injections, are powerful anti-inflammatory medications, which can be injected directly into an inflamed joint, bursa, or tendon sheath (lining). Steroids work swiftly to reduce inflammation causing pain.

Arthrosamid®

Arthrosamid® is a new type of treatment for knee osteoarthritis that offers patients an effective alternative to the currently available therapies. Based on an innovative non-biodegradable hydrogel technology, Arthrosamid® is 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide and 97.5% water. When injected into the knee Arthrosamid® cushions the joint and reduces the inflammatory process within the joint lining, which for many patients can be the main source of their knee pain.
