Foot and ankle ultrasound-guided injection in clinic

An ultrasound-guided injection uses an ultrasound scan to help your clinician identify the area being treated and guide the injection.

The procedure can be carried out in a clinic, without the need for a theatre setting.

An ultrasound-guided injection is a procedure where ultrasound is used to help your clinician see the area being treated during the injection.

For foot and ankle problems, this can help your clinician identify the relevant area before giving the injection.

Your clinician will explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have before treatment.

If you have ongoing foot or ankle pain, your clinician may recommend an injection as part of your treatment.

Ultrasound guidance can be used to help the clinician identify the area being treated during the procedure.

Whether an ultrasound-guided injection is suitable for you will depend on your symptoms and individual circumstances.

Your clinician will first assess the area being treated using ultrasound.

Once the area has been identified, the injection can be guided using the ultrasound image. Your clinician will explain each stage of the procedure and make sure you understand what is involved.

You may feel some discomfort when the injection is given. Your clinical team will explain what to expect and discuss any measures available to help keep you comfortable.

Your clinician will give you advice about what to do after your injection and when you can return to your usual activities.

Your aftercare advice will depend on your individual circumstances and the area that has been treated.

Not every foot or ankle problem is suitable for an ultrasound-guided injection. Your clinician will assess your symptoms and discuss the treatment options available to you.

If an injection is recommended, they will explain the procedure and any relevant risks before you decide whether to proceed.

If foot or ankle pain is affecting your everyday life, our team can assess your symptoms and discuss the treatment options that may be suitable for you.
