Ultrasound guided injections: USGI

Using ultrasound to guide injections improves accuracy and can provide additional diagnostic information.

We use USGI as part of a package that includes clinical history, examination, diagnostic scan and then if appropriate, injection. Advice on aftercare and report is also included in the cost.

Follow-up Physiotherapy rehabilitation to get the best out of your injection can be provided if needed.

John Coppin on guided injections: ‘In a typical year I provide a total of over 1000 ultrasound / landmark guided injections and diagnostic MSk scans. Over the last 10 years of performing injections and teaching other clinicians to scan, I have learnt the best ways to enhance patient safety and comfort. Msk injections are generally safe but not entirely without risk so I always do my utmost to ensure that injection is appropriate and any risks are minimised.’
