Ultrasound-guided injection

FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen offers ultrasound-guided injections in collaboration with your GP. Once the diagnosis has been made by the physiotherapist and your GP, the injection can be administered under ultrasound guidance by our specialists at FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen. Your GP can inject the solution precisely in the right direction and at the correct depth to ensure the best possible outcome. The whole procedure takes just a few minutes.

In collaboration with your GP or specialist, FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen administers injections under ultrasound guidance. Why? The reason for this is that the success rate of the injection is many times higher when it is administered under ultrasound guidance. On the one hand, a clear diagnosis is established because the condition is visible on the ultrasound scan; on the other hand, your GP injects precisely into the correct structure, in the correct direction and at the correct depth. This ensures the injection is administered safely and can be repeated if required.

The liquid is injected locally to treat many conditions in which local inflammatory symptoms play a role. Examples include joint problems, bursitis, tenosynovitis, tendinitis, nerve entrapment, gout and rheumatoid arthritis.

An injection to treat inflammation can quickly relieve the pain. This often makes it easier for you to move the joint, which aids recovery. The injection is effective for several weeks. This treatment does not cure the condition, but ensures that you experience far less discomfort from it for several weeks. In the meantime, the condition may improve either on its own or with the help of physiotherapy. FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen can also carry out diagnostic tests using injections. By injecting tissue with a local anaesthetic, it is also possible to identify which structure is responsible for the pain. Please ask your GP for further information about the effects of the injection solution that may be appropriate for your situation.
