At The Pain Center of Rhode Island, we specialize in ultrasound-guided cortisone injections to provide targeted, effective pain relief for joint, nerve, and soft tissue conditions. Unlike traditional “blind” injections, we use real-time ultrasound imaging to ensure precision, accuracy, and safety—delivering the medication exactly where it’s needed for optimal results.
What Are Cortisone Injections?
Cortisone injections are a powerful, non-surgical treatment that helps reduce inflammation and relieve pain in joints, nerves, and surrounding tissues. Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, bursitis, or nerve-related pain, these injections can significantly improve your mobility and quality of life.
Why Ultrasound Guidance Matters
Many clinics perform cortisone injections without imaging, relying on touch and estimation. At The Pain Center of Rhode Island, we do things differently. We use ultrasound technology to:
- Ensure accuracy – The medication is delivered precisely to the inflamed area.
- Improve effectiveness – Targeting the right spot leads to better pain relief.
- Enhance safety – Avoiding blood vessels and nerves reduces complications.
- Minimize discomfort – More precision means a less painful injection process.
We take our time with every procedure because your health and comfort matter to us.
