Ultrasound-Guided Injections
Whether you need a treatment as classic as an anesthetic, steroid, or hyaluronic acid (rooster comb), or you need a treatment as cutting edge as hydrodissection or platelet-rich plasma, you want the solution to reach its destination. Ultrasound-guided injections can be both diagnostic and therapeutic, and they often can help postpone or prevent surgery. They can also be used in post-surgical recovery.
