Ultrasound guided injection - PiedRéseau NDG
At PiedRéseau NDG, we offer ultrasound-guided injection as a specialized service in sports podiatry. This technique allows our podiatrists to deliver treatment directly to the affected area, ensuring precise targeting of conditions such as osteoarthritis of the big toe, plantar fasciitis, and Morton’s neuroma. By utilizing ultrasound technology, we can enhance the accuracy of the injection, which leads to effective pain relief and improved patient outcomes.
The ultrasound-guided injection procedure is designed to minimize risks associated with treating joint-related issues. Our podiatrists first conduct a thorough assessment, including imaging, to identify the specific problem area. During the procedure, ultrasound guidance ensures that the medication, which may include anti-inflammatory solutions or hyaluronic acid, is injected accurately into the targeted joint or nerve, providing localized relief.
Patients benefit from rapid pain alleviation and a reduced risk of complications compared to traditional injection methods. This service not only helps in managing pain but also allows for a more direct and effective treatment of various foot ailments, making it a valuable addition to our podiatric services.
Our team at PiedRéseau NDG is led by Dr. Justine Tanguay, podiatrist-owner. She is supported by a competent team dedicated to providing quality podiatric care. Together, they utilize advanced techniques and equipment to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
