Injections
At Garden State Sports Medicine, we don’t view injections as the only solution. Instead, we take a step-by-step approach to determine the treatment that best fits your specific needs. If an injection is the right choice, we have the tools and expertise to do it the right way.
Using ultrasound guidance, we can ensure precise, accurate placement every time—removing the guesswork and significantly improving comfort and outcomes. This approach allows us to use injections both diagnostically and therapeutically, helping to confirm the source of pain while delivering targeted relief. Because of this precision, ultrasound-guided injections are typically less painful and more effective than traditional, blind techniques.
What Are Ultrasound-Guided Injections?
Ultrasound guidance allows us to visualize soft tissues in real time, ensuring your injection is:
More Accurate: Targets joints, muscles, ligaments, or nerves directly
Less Painful: Minimizes tissue trauma and reduces discomfort
Safer: Avoids surrounding structures and reduces complication risk
Our injections services are ideal for individuals with:
Acute injuries by decreasing the inflammatory response and promoting healing
Chronic injuries such as arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, or other overuse injuries
Decreased function to improve mobility and enhance quality of life
