Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that patients often have questions before their imaging appointment. Below are answers to some of the most common enquiries to help you feel informed, prepared and confident before your visit.
What conditions can joint injections help treat?
Joint injections are commonly used to treat pain caused by inflammation, such as synovitis, and may help improve comfort and mobility.
How are joint injections performed?
Most joint injections are performed using ultrasound guidance to accurately guide the needle into the joint. CT guidance may be used depending on the joint and clinical requirements.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. A local anaesthetic is often used to help reduce pain during the procedure.
Will a joint injection always relieve my pain?
Joint injections are most effective when pain is caused by inflammation. If symptoms do not improve, this can help your doctor determine that another cause may be responsible.
