What is an ultrasound-guided steroid injection?
An ultrasound-guided steroid injection uses ultrasound imaging to guide an injection of a corticosteroid medication, such as triamcinolone or methylprednisolone, into a specific area of the body. The steroid medication helps reduce inflammation and pain in conditions such as joint inflammation, tendonitis, bursitis, and nerve impingements.
Benefits of ultrasound-guided steroid injections
1) Effective pain relief: steroid injections can provide significant pain relief by reducing inflammation in the targeted area.
2) Minimally invasive: the procedure requires only a small needle and no surgical incisions.
3) Accurate targeting: ultrasound guidance ensures precise needle placement, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of the injection.
4) Quick procedure: the injection usually takes only a few minutes, allowing for a swift experience
Why choose Virti Physio Care (VPC) for ultrasound guided injections?
When choosing VPC for your ultrasound-guided steroid injection, you can expect:
1) highly experienced clinicians specializing in the procedure
2) state-of-the-art facilities and equipment
3) personalised care and attention to your specific needs

Does marathon running increase arthritis risk? A recent study of over 3,800 runners would suggest not!.. 🏃🏽‍♀️

Hartwell et al. (2024) carried out a survey of Chicago marathon runners and found that hip and knee arthritis wasn’t associated with running history. Instead the most significant risk factors were age, BMI, previous hip or knee injury that prevented running, hip or knee surgery and family history.

These results are encouraging but we should acknowledge the limitations of using a survey without clinical or radiographic evaluation of arthritis and based on self-reported results. The prevalence of arthritis was established by asking participants if they’d ever been diagnosed with arthritis by a doctor.

We also need to consider each individual rather than seeing this as a green light for *all runners* to run despite concerns about joint health. The available evidence suggests that running isn’t damaging for the hips or knees but if a runner chooses to continue it should be at a level that feels manageable in terms of symptoms.

Mild pain that settles quickly after a run is often acceptable. Moderate to severe pain, symptoms that last beyond 24 hours or increases in swelling after activity suggest load is too high and should be modified to a more comfortable level. In addition, loss of joint range and sensations of locking or giving way should be fully assessed as these can require a break from running until addressed.

These are important points to discuss with runners as 1 in 4 runners that were surveyed were advised by their physician to either reduce the amount that they run or stop running all
together. Despite this 94% of all the participants in this study planned to run another marathon!

Did you know that Therapeutic Corticosteroid Injections can help relieve pain and inflammation in a localised area of the body? The cortisone injection will offer pain relief and allows a window of opportunity to begin appropriate rehabilitation of the involved area.
They're most commonly injected into joints — such as the ankle, elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, spine, wrist and small hand or foot joints.
The injections usually contain a corticosteroid medication and a local anaesthetic. Corticosteroids are medications that mimic the effects of the hormone cortisol, produced naturally by the adrenal glands. Cortisol affects many parts of the body, including the immune system. Corticosteroids helps lower levels of prostaglandins and reduce the interaction between certain white blood cells (T-cells and B-cells) involved in the immune response. Corticosteroids stimulate this effect to lessen the inflammatory response.
