Common Conditions Treated with Ultrasound-Guided Steroid Injections

Chronic and Acute Joint Injuries

Whether caused by sports, overuse, or aging, joint injuries can lead to persistent pain and inflammation. These injections help reduce swelling and improve function.

Bursitis

Bursitis occurs when the small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion joints become inflamed. Steroid injections reduce inflammation, easing discomfort and restoring joint flexibility.

Tendonitis

This painful condition results from inflamed tendons due to repetitive motion or strain. Ultrasound-guided injections deliver relief directly to the affected area.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Steroid injections can alleviate the swelling in your wrist, reducing median nerve pressure and relieving symptoms of carpal tunnel.

Trigger Finger

If you experience locking or catching in your finger joints, steroid injections can reduce inflammation and improve movement.
