🦴Hip pain can affect every step, every workout, and even simple daily activities. 🚶♂️
💉Hip injections are a modern, precise, and effective treatment option for many causes of hip pain including osteoarthritis. However, the hip joint is deep and surrounded by important structures, making precision extremely important. Ultrasound guidance allows us to see the needle in real time and deliver treatment safely and accurately.
📡Why use ultrasound guidance?
✅ Real-time visualisation of the hip joint and surrounding structures
✅ More accurate placement of medication exactly where it is needed
✅ Improved safety by avoiding nerves and blood vessels
✅ Greater comfort with less tissue trauma
✅ Better treatment outcomes compared to blind injections
🧫 Some of the common medication or injectate that we use for hip joints includes:
▶️ Corticosteroids
▶️ Local Anesthetics
▶️ Hyaluronic Acid (Viscosupplementation)
▶️ Platelet Rich Plasma/PRP (Ortho biologic)
💊Hip injections are often combined with:
✔️ Physiotherapy
✔️ Strengthening exercises
✔️ Activity modification
✔️ Rehabilitation program
💯 The goal is not just pain relief, but helping patients return to movement, function, sports, and quality of life. 💪
