Clinica Medica Ultrasound Guided Regional Anaesthesia Pain Injection Clinic provides rapid and easy access to affordable pain-relieving ultrasound-guided injections.
The ultrasound-guided injection is an imaging modality that utilises reflected pulses of high-frequency (ultrasonic) sound waves for guided injection therapies. The injection may help you start rehabilitation and return to normal activities sooner by 'breaking the cycle' of pain and inflammation.
Compared to the surface landmarks injection technique, ultrasound guidance improves the accuracy and effectiveness of pain injections.
Please note the clinic only offers injection treatment and does not offer a diagnosis. To be eligible for the injection, you must have a formal diagnosis of the pain condition you are seeking an injection for. Your GP or specialist usually makes the diagnosis before proceeding with treatment.
