Musculoskeletal Injections

Musculoskeletal disorders are caused by repetitive or intense movements, such as those involved in sports or repetitive movements at work. They can also be a cause of premature aging. All parts of the body can be affected.

To ensure optimal treatment, the doctor works closely with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, orthopedic physicians or physiatrists when specialist assessment or treatment is required.

What are musculoskeletal treatments?

Following a medical assessment, we target the treatment best suited to your situation:

Cortisone Injections
Cortisone is a fast-acting anti-inflammatory that provides fast, effective pain relief. The benefits are felt 24 to 48 hours after the injection, and relief can last up to three months.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Mainly used as a treatment to relieve osteoarthritis, viscosupplementation or hyaluronic acid injections serve to slow tissue degradation. The benefits are felt after a few weeks, and generally last several months. Viscosupplementation should generally be repeated once a year.

Ultrasound Guidance

We offer ultrasound-guided infiltration. This technique uses an ultrasound device to guide the needle to the precise area to be injected, improving injection precision, treatment efficiency and comfort during the procedure. Ultrasound-guided infiltration is available for the following sites and conditions:

  • Shoulder: osteoarthritis, capsulitis, bursitis
  • Wrist: osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis
  • Hand and fingers: osteoarthritis, trigger finger
  • Hip: osteoarthritis, bursitis
  • Knee: osteoarthritis, gout
  • Ankle: osteoarthritis
  • Foot: osteoarthritis, gout
  • Occipital nerve (occipital neuralgia or Arnold’s neuralgia))
  • Fractures (suspected)
  • Sprains
  • Dislocations
  • Acute tendon tears
  • Acute bursitis
  • Shoulder: tendon tear, acromioclavicular sprain or dislocation, glenohumeral dislocation, bursitis
  • Knee: tendon tear, sprain, joint injury
  • Ankle or foot: tendon or joint injury, acute pain
  • Sudden lameness: hip, knee, Achilles tendon
  • Acute joint pain: shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, foot

Frequently asked questions

Are intra-articular injections painful?

Contrary to popular belief, an infiltration (intra-articular injection) is not more painful than a blood test. Patients may experience mild discomfort which can typically last up to 48 hours following treatment. There is no need to worry : it is only an inflammatory reaction. Depending on the area to be infiltrated, a local anaesthetic may be applied. A rest period of 2 to 5 days is usually recommended after infiltration.

Is the infiltration precise?

We perform infiltrations under ultrasound guidance or using anatomical landmarks. Ultrasound-guided infiltration is done with a device that guides the needle precisely into the desired site.

What parts of the body do you treat?

We perform infiltrations for shoulder, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot pain. No infiltration is performed in the back (neck, dorsal region, lumbar region, sacral region).
