MSK injection therapy is a non-surgical procedure that treats musculoskeletal problems. It utilizes cutting-edge ultrasound technology to eliminate the guesswork associated with traditional “blind” injections. Dr. Miles is one of the first physicians in Georgia to be credentialed in musculoskeletal ultrasound, or MSK ultrasound. The MSK ultrasound provides a real-time image of the affected joint, eliminating any risk of misdiagnosis.
MSK injections are used to treat a variety of conditions in the MSK. They are most commonly used in the knee, elbow, wrist, ankle, and de Quervains tenosynovitis. They are also used for small joints and tendon sheaths. These therapies are effective for many conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder tendonitis, and elbow arthritis.
These procedures are often done in combination with rehab to achieve the desired results. MSK injection therapy is a highly effective way to treat shoulder, elbow, and knee disorders. Injections improve the accuracy of the procedure and can provide quick pain relief. Some conditions that can be injected with steroid medications include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and osteoarthritis. It is an excellent choice for those who do not wish to undergo surgery.
MSK injection therapy is a common treatment for chronic pain in the MSK. Typically, injections are part of a rehabilitation programme and used to treat trigger finger or De Quervains tenosynovitis. During the treatment, a steroid injection is given to the affected area to reduce pain and inflammation. The needles are administered by clinical specialists using ultrasound to ensure precision. Injections can restore normal range of motion within a few days.
MSK injection therapy uses ultrasound to ensure accurate treatment. It is a good choice for patients with MSK disorders. The MSK is the most commonly affected joint in the body. This region of the body contains numerous nerves and tendons. MRIs can diagnose problems in the MSK and can help with the symptoms of a variety of conditions. The treatment can be combined with physical therapy.
This procedure is often performed in the knee, elbow, or shoulder. Injections are not a cure for most MSK disorders, but they can relieve symptoms and help the patient move again. Injections should be accompanied by rehab. This method is most useful in treating diseases of the shoulder, elbow, or knee. Injections can also be used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome and plantar fasciitis.
During the procedure, an ultrasound is used to see the joint and determine the correct location. The physician will then insert a needle into the joint to locate the appropriate injection point. The needle is placed at the point marked on the skin, where it will be inserted. An ultrasound allows the doctor to see the tip of the needle as it moves into the joint. The injection procedure can last fifteen to 20 minutes.
