Ultrasound Guided Injections

Ultrasound Guided Injections are a precise therapeutic and diagnostic treatment modality that can be used for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. 

​

At Beaches Chiropractic a qualified sonographer will be able to specifically place the needle in the desired location due to the guidance of the ultrasound unit. 

​

We are able to provide a range of injections which include both Hyaluronic Acid and combined steroid and local anaesthetic. 

​

Hyaluronic Acid has been shown to provide significant relief in patients with mild and moderate arthritis changes, most notably, in patients with Knee Osteoarthritis. It is classed as a "Chondro preservative" treatment.

​

We offer a variety of Hyaluronic Acid options and these include:

- Ostenil Plus

- Ostenil Tendon

- Durolane

- Monovisc

​

We are also able to offer a combined Steroid with Hyaluronic Acid injection called Cingal. Early evidence is suggesting that while Steroids such as Kenalog and Depomedol are "Chondro Toxic". As the steroid within this injection is a Triamcinolone Hexacetonide (TH) it means it is a safe, effective and rapid steroid. This is pre-mixed with a optimum molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid, this injection has all the benefits of a steroid coupled with the chondrites-protective capabilities of Hyaluronic Acid.

​

Each of these products have slightly different properties with slightly different "ideal" uses, All of this will be discussed with you prior to the injection being performed. 

​

We are also able to provide corticosteroid injections at the clinic and this will be done under the guidance of an independent prescriber.

​

Prior to an injection being performed, a confirmation of the diagnosis is required and an assessment by a healthcare practitioner is required. All of the injections performed are done in a clean environment with the use of chlroprep cleaning agent on the skin.
