Elevated Care Through Visual Precision

Ultrasound-guided injections use high-frequency sound waves to visualize your internal anatomy in real time—so your provider can deliver treatment exactly where it’s needed. At Regeneration Pittsburgh, nearly all injections are performed with ultrasound guidance, allowing us to reach small, targeted structures with maximum precision and minimal pain.

Whether you’re treating a joint, tendon, bursa, or nerve, this technique ensures safer, more effective results compared to traditional “blind” injections.

Ultrasound Guided Injections

SAFE. ACCURATE. MODERN.

For decades, many joint and soft-tissue injections were performed using surface landmarks and feel alone. But even skilled hands can’t see beneath the skin and many of the structures being treated are just millimeters in size.

With ultrasound guidance, we can visualize the needle in real time, confirm its placement, and ensure the injectate reaches the intended target. Clinical studies have shown that ultrasound-guided injections result in less procedural pain and more consistent relief.

This is just one of the ways we raise the standard of care for every patient.

What to Expect During your treatment

Guided. Gentle. Effective.

Treatments are performed in-office using an ultrasound machine with a high-frequency probe. After cleansing and numbing the area, your provider will use real-time imaging to guide the needle to the precise location. You’ll be able to see the process on the screen, and the experience is typically quick and well tolerated.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure and are able to return to their usual activities shortly after.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT ULTRASOUND GUIDED INJECTIONS

These are injections performed with the help of real-time ultrasound imaging, allowing your provider to see exactly where the needle is going and ensure precise medication delivery.

Traditional or "blind" injections rely on feel and external landmarks. Ultrasound guidance allows us to visualize internal structures in real time, leading to better placement, less pain, and more reliable results.

Most patients report minimal discomfort. The area is numbed beforehand, and the accuracy of the injection actually reduces tissue irritation and pain during and after the procedure.

Yes—ultrasound improves safety by avoiding nearby nerves, blood vessels, or other sensitive structures. It’s especially useful in areas where precision is critical.

Nearly all of our joint, tendon, and nerve-related injections are performed with ultrasound guidance—it’s part of our commitment to delivering the most advanced and effective care possible.
