NONSURGICAL TREATMENT

Image-Guided Injections

Injections placed under live ultrasound or fluoroscopic imaging rather than by landmark alone ensure accurate needle placement and targeted delivery to the affected anatomy, optimizing therapeutic response while minimizing patient discomfort.

PRECISION MEDICINE

Why Image Guidance Matters

An injection placed without imaging relies on surface landmarks and tactile feel alone, introducing avoidable variability in medication placement and therapeutic outcome.

Dr. Shekhani uses real-time ultrasound guidance for soft tissue structures and fluoroscopy when deeper bony anatomy demands millimeter precision for targeted pain relief.

CLINICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA

When an Injection Is Considered

An injection is never the first step. It is considered after evaluation and diagnostic testing have identified what is causing the symptoms.

  • Persistent pain or inflammation that has not responded adequately to conservative physical therapy or rest
  • Diagnostic imaging or clinical evaluation confirming localized joint, tendon, or spinal nerve root pathology
  • Need for precise diagnostic confirmation to isolate the primary anatomical source of pain
  • Symptoms substantially impeding functional rehabilitation, daily mobility, or restorative sleep

PATIENT PROTOCOL

What to Expect

Straightforward clinical stages designed for patient safety, rapid execution, and sustained therapeutic relief.

Time

Most targeted image-guided injection procedures are completed within 15 to 30 minutes in an outpatient clinical setting.

Comfort

A targeted local anesthetic numbs the treatment site beforehand, ensuring minimal patient discomfort during real-time needle placement.

Preparation

Wear comfortable clothing, bring recent diagnostic imaging, and follow direct clinical instructions regarding regular daily medications.

Afterward

Patients rest briefly before same-day discharge, with minor site tenderness subsiding quickly as therapeutic relief takes effect.
