💉 Ultrasound-Guided vs Non-Ultrasound Steroid Injections – What’s the Difference?
Steroid injections are commonly used to reduce inflammation and pain in joints, tendons, and soft tissues.
At Kleyn Healthcare, we offer both ultrasound-guided and non-ultrasound (“landmark”) injections, depending on what’s most appropriate for your condition.
Here’s what you need to know 👇
🩻 Ultrasound-Guided Steroid Injections
How it works:
Your clinician uses a live ultrasound image to guide the needle precisely into the correct area
Advantages:
✅ Greater accuracy – The needle’s exact placement is confirmed in real-time.
✅ Reduced risk – Helps avoid nerves and blood vessels.
✅ Better outcomes – Many patients experience longer-lasting relief.
✅ Fluid aspiration – Useful for draining swollen areas effectively.
💉 Non-Ultrasound (“Landmark”) Injections
How it works:
The clinician uses anatomical landmarks on the skin to estimate the injection site and depth.
Advantages:
✅ Simpler and faster to perform
✅ Can be done in most clinic settings
