Ultrasound Diagnostics

US Guided Injections have now become the standard of care in order to safely and accurately perform musculoskeletal injections. We perform every procedure with ultrasound or  fluoroscopic guidance to locate the point of injection in order to maximize the benefits of healing and/or pain relief.
