Ultrasound-Guided Hyaluronic Acid Injection in Loughton
Hyaluronic acid injections offer an alternative or complement to steroid injections for osteoarthritis, helping to lubricate the joint and ease pain. At our Loughton clinic, these injections are guided in real time using ultrasound, so the medication reaches the joint accurately.
This treatment may be particularly suitable if you are looking to manage the symptoms of joint osteoarthritis and would prefer to avoid or reduce the use of steroids.
About Ultrasound-Guided Hyaluronic Acid Injection
Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in healthy joints, where it helps with lubrication and shock absorption. In an osteoarthritic joint, a hyaluronic acid injection aims to supplement this and improve comfort and function.
Using ultrasound guidance, your clinician can place the injection precisely within the joint, watching the needle on screen throughout to ensure accuracy.
Conditions We Treat with Ultrasound-Guided Hyaluronic Acid Injection
What to Expect at Your Appointment
After confirming that hyaluronic acid injection is suitable for you, your clinician cleans the area and uses ultrasound to identify the precise target within the joint.
The injection is guided into place under real-time imaging. The procedure is usually quick and well tolerated.
You will be given clear aftercare advice and guidance on activity and follow-up.
