Musculoskeletal Injections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What are musculoskeletal treatments?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Following a medical assessment, we target the treatment best suited to your situation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cortisone Injections<\/strong>
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyaluronic Acid Injections<\/a>
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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Ultrasound Guidance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

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:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
    \n
  • Shoulder: osteoarthritis, capsulitis, bursitis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Wrist: osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Hand and fingers: osteoarthritis, trigger finger<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Hip: osteoarthritis, bursitis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Knee: osteoarthritis, gout<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ankle: osteoarthritis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Foot: osteoarthritis, gout<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Occipital nerve (occipital neuralgia or Arnold’s neuralgia))<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>
    \n

    Musculoskeletal Point Of Care Ultrasound<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to guiding injections, musculoskeletal point of care ultrasound enables real-time assessment of injured or inflamed structures. This non-invasive, radiation-free technology is particularly useful in a number of contexts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    Rapid management of certain emergencies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Fractures (suspected)<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Sprains<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Dislocations<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Acute tendon tears<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Acute bursitis<\/mark><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      Assessment of specific pain or injuries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Shoulder: tendon tear, acromioclavicular sprain or dislocation, glenohumeral dislocation, bursitis<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Knee: tendon tear, sprain, joint injury<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Ankle or foot: tendon or joint injury, acute pain<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Sudden lameness: hip, knee, Achilles tendon<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Acute joint pain: shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, foot<\/mark><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Thanks to ultrasound, our doctors can make a rapid diagnosis and guide treatment in a targeted and effective way – all during the initial consultation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

        \n

        Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
        Are intra-articular injections painful?<\/strong>

        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.<\/p> <\/div>

        Is the infiltration precise?<\/strong>

        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.<\/p> <\/div>

        What parts of the body do you treat?<\/strong>

        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).<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
