Image Guided Injection Unilateral
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.
What is it?
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.
