Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, Biopsies, and Injections

Ultrasound allows our doctor to see the inside of your body in a non-invasive manner that picks up things not seen on X-rays. At Delaware Sports Medicine in Wilmington, DE, musculoskeletal ultrasound is a game-changer in diagnosing and treating sports injuries. 

This advanced technology allows our doctors to pinpoint the problem more accurately and deliver the proper treatment to the affected areas, ensuring a faster and more effective recovery.

While certain injections for injuries were used blindly in the past, using musculoskeletal ultrasound is gaining popularity within sports medicine. This procedure allows us to target the injury with accuracy and precision when using a variety of injections and aspirations such as found in,

• Percutaneous injections
• Joint injections
• Joint aspirations
• Intra-bursal injections
• Peritendinous injections
• Perineural injections

 Other procedures requiring much more precision, because the targeted area is either delicate or very deep, are possible with the assistance of ultrasound. 

Ultrasound is a non-invasive, safe, and widely used procedure. Its effectiveness and accuracy in guiding the needle tip to the exact location for the delivery of medications such as steroids and anesthetics ensures your safety and the success of your treatment. 

Ultrasound guidance is helpful in joint injections using anesthetic and steroid combinations to address, 

• Pain
• Swelling
• Arthritis
• Bursitis
• Tendon injuries
• Neuritis

 One remarkable benefit of using ultrasound is that it allows us to target even the smallest areas, such as toe joints or hidden tendons, with precision and confidence.
