Achieve precise pain relief and treatment with image-guided unilateral injections. Dr. Ralph Rogers utilises advanced imaging technology to administer injections accurately, ensuring effective treatment for joint and soft tissue conditions.
Image-guided injection unilateral involves using imaging techniques, such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy, to guide the precise delivery of medication into a specific joint or soft tissue. This method enhances accuracy, efficacy, and safety in treating pain and inflammation.
A clinic appointment for image-guided injection unilateral involves a detailed assessment and the administration of an injection under imaging guidance. Dr. Rogers uses this approach to ensure the medication is accurately placed for optimal results.
During the appointment, Dr. Rogers will:
Review your medical history and symptoms.
Perform an imaging scan of the affected area.
Administer the injection under real-time imaging guidance.
Discuss post-procedure care and any follow-up treatments.
