Knee pain can be relentless. Whether it’s from arthritis, a sports injury, or simply wear and tear, it can limit your movement and severely impact your quality of life. For those who have tried physiotherapy and still need extra help, guided injections can provide the additional support you need.
At Excel Physio Therapy, we often use ultrasound-guided injections to target inflammation and relieve pain in the knee – accurately, safely, and effectively.
What Are Guided Injections?
Guided injections are a form of targeted treatment, typically using corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Using ultrasound technology, we guide the needle precisely to the affected area inside the knee joint, ensuring maximum accuracy.
Benefits of Guided Injections for Knee Pain
- Accurate Delivery
Ultrasound ensures the medication is delivered directly to the affected area, which increases effectiveness and reduces the risk of complications. - Fast Pain Relief
Many patients experience noticeable relief within days of the injection, particularly when dealing with inflammation from conditions like arthritis or bursitis. - Improved Mobility
By reducing pain and swelling, guided injections help improve range of motion and allow you to resume activities that were once difficult. - Supports Physiotherapy
In many cases, guided injections are part of a combined approach. By reducing pain, they make physiotherapy more effective because you can move and exercise more comfortably. - Minimally Invasive
Unlike surgery, guided injections are done in-clinic, require no downtime, and carry very few risks when performed by trained professionals.
Who Can Benefit from Knee Injections?
You might be a good candidate if you have:
- Osteoarthritis in the knee
- Persistent pain despite physiotherapy
- Swelling or inflammation in the joint
- Sports injuries such as ligament or cartilage issues
Our team will assess your condition and discuss whether injections are appropriate for you.
