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\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\n\n\n

Ultrasound Guidance<\/h3>\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

    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

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

      Acute joint pain: shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, foot<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Shoulder: tendon tear, acromioclavicular sprain or dislocation, glenohumeral dislocation, bursitis<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n

        Sportvis for Tendon and Ligament Injuries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Sportvis is a hyaluronic acid-based product administered by injection to treat certain tendon and ligament injuries. It can help reduce pain and promote the healing of injured tissues. When used as part of a rehabilitation program\u2014particularly under the guidance of a physical therapist\u2014it can support better recovery of collagen fibers and facilitate a faster return to sports or physical activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Sportvis can be used to treat lateral epicondylitis of the elbow (tennis elbow), patellar tendinopathy of the knee and Achilles tendinopathy of the ankle. It can also be used for certain acute ankle sprains when administered within three days of the injury. It also shows potential in the treatment of several other tendinopathies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        After a comprehensive medical evaluation and the appropriate tests, your doctor will determine whether Sportvis is a suitable option for your situation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\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":"","protected":false},"featured_media":615,"menu_order":33,"template":"","type_service":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMusculoskeletal injections - LeBlanc + Savaria<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Do you suffer from osteoarthritis, muscle pain, tendonitis or bursitis?
