Unlike many practitioners who perform ‘blind’ injections and don’t use an imaging modality to accurately identify the damaged areas and place the product accordingly, at Capital City Regenerative Medicine we use a 100% safe imaging modality to optimize our results.
As part of your examination prior to your musculoskeletal or joint injection, a diagnostic musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is performed to determine the current state of the injured area and to identify the specific location of the injection. The ultrasound exam provides real-time imaging that can evaluate the health/injury of tendons, muscle, ligaments, bone, cartilage, and bursa.
The exam consists of an ultrasound water-based gel, as a coupling agent, and an ultrasound probe for imaging the internal structures. The practitioner will place the probe over the injured area to expertly guide the injection to the musculoskeletal tissue. A specific protocol will be followed for your area of concern.
