Ultrasound-guided steroid injections are used to reduce inflammation and pain in specific soft tissue and joint structures of the foot and ankle. Using real-time ultrasound imaging allows the injection to be delivered precisely to the affected area.
This targeted approach improves treatment accuracy, effectiveness and safety when compared to non-guided injections.

Why Use Ultrasound Guidance?
What to Expect During Treatment
The procedure is performed in clinic and typically takes only a few minutes. Ultrasound is used to identify the target structure, and a fine needle is guided into position. Most patients tolerate the procedure well and are able to return home shortly afterwards.
Is an Ultrasound-Guided Injection Right for You?
If conservative treatments have not resolved your pain, an ultrasound-guided steroid injection may help reduce inflammation and support your recovery.
