Ultrasound Guided Injections Specialist in Crown Point, IN

At Mullally Sports and Family Medicine, we offer ultrasound-guided injections as part of our comprehensive approach to treating musculoskeletal pain and injuries. An ultrasound-guided injection is a medical procedure where a healthcare provider uses real-time ultrasound imaging to guide a needle precisely into a specific area of the body. This technique allows the provider to see muscles, tendons, joints, and other soft tissues clearly on a screen, ensuring the injection is delivered accurately to the targeted spot. It’s commonly used for pain management, inflammation, and certain joint or tendon conditions.

Using ultrasound guidance helps improve both the safety and effectiveness of the procedure by reducing guesswork and minimizing discomfort. Because the provider can see exactly where the needle is going, the medication reaches the intended area more directly, often leading to faster relief and better outcomes for patients.

At Mullally Sports & Family Medicine, our services include ultrasound-guided injections designed to deliver precise and effective relief for pain and inflammation. By combining advanced imaging technology with compassionate care, we ensure each treatment is tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury or managing chronic joint discomfort, our experienced team is dedicated to helping you heal comfortably and regain mobility through our comprehensive range of services.

We utilize advanced ultrasound-guided injection techniques to provide precise, effective relief for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Whether you’re dealing with joint pain, tendon injuries, or inflammation in soft tissue, healthcare providers use real-time ultrasound imaging to ensure treatment is as safe and accurate as possible. During an ultrasound-guided injection, the patient is positioned comfortably so the affected area—such as a knee, shoulder, or elbow—is easily accessible. The skin is then cleaned with an antiseptic solution to reduce the risk of infection before beginning the procedure.

A water-based gel is applied to the skin to help transmit ultrasound waves and create a clear image of the tissues beneath. Using a handheld ultrasound device, the provider visualizes the target area on a monitor, allowing precise placement of the needle. Once identified, the medication is carefully injected directly into the source of pain. This technique enhances accuracy, effectiveness, and safety while reducing discomfort and minimizing injury to nearby structures.

After your injection, we’ll monitor you briefly before you return to your daily activities. At Mullally Sports and Family Medicine, we are committed to using the latest technology to help you recover faster and get back to the activities you love.

At Mullally Sports and Family Medicine, we use ultrasound-guided injections to precisely target areas of pain or inflammation, helping our patients recover more quickly and comfortably. Recovery time after an ultrasound-guided injection is generally short, with most patients resuming normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. Mild soreness or swelling at the injection site is common but typically subsides within a day or two. Depending on the type of medication used—such as corticosteroids or anesthetics—pain relief may begin within a few hours or take several days to fully develop.

Patients are usually advised to rest the treated area for the first day and avoid strenuous activity for a short period to allow the medication to take effect. Full recovery and improvement in symptoms often occur within a week, though this can vary depending on the condition being treated and the body’s natural healing response. Our team at Mullally Sports and Family Medicine will provide detailed instructions tailored to your specific needs, including any activity restrictions or post-procedure care.

At Mullally Sports & Family Medicine, we provide ultrasound-guided injections as part of our comprehensive care for joint, tendon, and soft tissue conditions. The cost of this procedure can vary depending on the area being treated, the type of medication used, and the complexity of the injection. On average, patients can expect costs to range from $150 to $500 for self-pay visits, though this may differ based on individual needs and treatment plans.

If you have insurance, your coverage may significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs. Our team is happy to help you understand your benefits and provide a clear estimate before your appointment. We strive to keep care affordable and transparent so you can focus on your recovery with confidence.
