What Are Ultrasound-Guided Joint Injections?

These injections use real-time ultrasound imaging to guide medication directly into the affected joint. The live imaging ensures precise placement, reducing discomfort and improving results compared to traditional blind injections.

Why Choose Ultrasound Guidance?

Accuracy matters — especially for small or complex joints. Using ultrasound helps:

- Deliver medication exactly where it’s needed

- Improve pain relief outcomes

- Reduce the risk of complications

- Make the procedure more comfortable and efficient

For patients with arthritis or inflammatory joint conditions, this precision can make a significant difference.

How Dr. Pala Performs the Procedure

With extensive experience in rheumatology and joint care, Dr. Ozlem Pala combines advanced technology with a gentle, patient-centered approach. Her process includes:

- Evaluating the joint and confirming the injection site via ultrasound

- Using local anesthetic for comfort when appropriate

- Administering anti-inflammatory or lubricating medication with guided precision

- Providing aftercare instructions to maximize relief and protect the joint

What to Expect During Your Visit

Ultrasound-guided injections are performed in-office and typically take less than 30 minutes. Most patients can resume light activity the same day, with pain relief beginning within days and improving over several weeks.

When Are Joint Injections Recommended?

You may benefit from this treatment if you have:

- Persistent joint pain that hasn’t improved with medication or therapy

- Arthritis-related inflammation

- Limited range of motion due to joint swelling or stiffness

- Pain affecting daily activities and quality of life
