Ultrasound Guided
Interventional Procedures
Description
Ultrasound-guided pain therapy is offered at Frontier Diagnostics. Using ultrasound imaging, our radiologists can accurately target areas of concern, such as joint spaces, to aspirate (suction) fluid and inject anesthetic and steroids. This procedure significantly reduces inflammation and alleviates pain, improving joint mobility and overall patient comfort.

How to Prepare
-
​You may eat and drink prior to your procedure. Fasting is not required.
​
-
Continue taking all your medications as prescribed by your physicians.
-
Inform us if you have any bleeding disorders or are taking anticoagulants (blood thinners). Your doctor may need to adjust your medication before the procedure.
-
Your procedure may not be performed if you have an active infection or are on antibiotics, as corticosteroid injections may reduce antibiotic effectiveness.
-
Please call our clinic if you require accommodation due to physical limitations.
