ULTRASOUND-GUIDED JOINT INJECTIONS:- Joint injections are a minimally invasive treatment option used to relieve pain caused by inflammatory joint conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, and gout. Certain medications, such as corticosteroids or viscosupplementation, used to reduce inflammation and minimize pain, are injected into the affected joint. This medication only affects the targeted area and does not usually cause side effects. Joint injections are administered under local anesthesia and only cause mild, brief discomfort for patients. In order to ensure the precise administration and most effective results from joint injections, Dr. Khan performs these treatments under ultrasound guidance. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the internal structures of the body, with no radiation and no side effects
