If you’re suffering from joint pain, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis or other foot and ankle conditions, ultrasound guided injections offer a minimally invasive solution with maximum impact. At the Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona in Scottsdale, our award-winning podiatrists utilize this advanced technique to deliver targeted pain relief and therapeutic medications precisely where they’re needed most.
Located at 7304 E Deer Valley Road Ste #100, our state-of-the-art facility provides ultrasound guided injection treatment for patients throughout the Scottsdale area. We specialize in using ultrasound guidance to accurately inject medications into inflamed joints, tendons, plantar fascia and other structures – improving outcomes while minimizing risks.
During an ultrasound guided injection, your podiatrist uses live ultrasound imaging to visualize the internal structures of the foot or ankle in real time. This allows them to precisely guide the needle to the intended target area, such as:
The ultrasound guided injection procedure is minimally invasive and takes only 10-15 minutes to complete. Sedation is typically not required, though the area is numbed with a local anesthetic for patient comfort.
The key advantage of ultrasound guidance is the ability to visualize and accurately inject even deep structures that can't be palpated or "felt." This unmatched precision ensures medications go exactly where intended rather than potentially missing the mark with a blind injection.
Benefits of this targeted approach include:
In essence, ultrasound guidance takes the guesswork out of therapeutic injections and improves outcomes.
At the Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona, we frequently use ultrasound guided injections to treat a variety of foot and ankle conditions, including:
Injecting corticosteroids directly into inflamed joints of the foot and ankle helps relieve arthritic pain and restore mobility. Ultrasound imaging ensures precise needle placement into even small joints.
Chronic tendonitis and other injuries can be treated with injections of corticosteroids and other medications. Ultrasound guidance allows accurate injections into these narrow spaces.
For severe, stubborn cases of plantar fasciitis, ultrasound guided injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly into the inflamed plantar fascia band on the bottom of the foot.
When you arrive for your ultrasound guided injection appointment, you'll be escorted to one of our ultrasound rooms equipped with cutting-edge imaging technology. The process involves:
The entire procedure is minimally invasive and quick, typically taking just 10-15 minutes. You'll be able to walk out of our office afterward, though we recommend taking it easy for the rest of the day.
