About Ultrasound-guided injections
Ultrasound-guided injections for the hip and knee are medical procedures where healthcare professionals utilize ultrasound imaging to accurately guide the administration of injections into the hip or knee joint and surrounding structures. These injections are commonly employed for diagnosing and treating various conditions that impact these joints, alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and enhancing joint function.
We offer several types of ultrasound-guided injections for the hip and knee:
Ultrasound-Guided Hip Injections:
- Corticosteroid Injections: These injections help mitigate inflammation and alleviate pain caused by hip osteoarthritis, bursitis, or tendinitis.
- Hyaluronic Acid Injections: Hyaluronic acid injections improve joint lubrication and minimize friction in the hip joint, providing potential benefits for individuals with hip osteoarthritis.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: PRP injections employ concentrated platelets from the patient’s own blood to stimulate tissue healing and regeneration, potentially aiding certain hip conditions.
Ultrasound-Guided Knee Injections:
- Corticosteroid Injections: Similar to hip injections, corticosteroid injections in the knee joint reduce inflammation and alleviate pain associated with knee osteoarthritis, bursitis, or tendinitis.
- Hyaluronic Acid Injections: Injections of hyaluronic acid enhance joint lubrication and cushioning in the knee, offering potential benefits to individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: PRP injections can assist in tissue healing and regeneration, making them a potential option for certain knee conditions.
Ultrasound guidance ensures precise needle placement, allowing healthcare providers to target specific areas within the joint, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of the injection. These procedures are generally safe and provide a non-surgical alternative for managing hip and knee pain and related conditions.
As with any medical treatment, it is crucial to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to discuss the risks, benefits, and suitability of ultrasound-guided injections for your specific hip or knee condition.

With the aid of ultrasound technology, clinicians can achieve unparalleled accuracy when placing needles during injections, directly targeting the affected zones of a joint. By doing so, the treatment’s efficacy may be considerably augmented. These injection techniques are predominantly considered safe and provide a viable non-operative treatment option for alleviating pain in the hip and knee areas, as well as for other related health issues.
