Ultrasound-guided cortisone injections
Cortisone injections placed with ultrasound, to settle inflammation and pain in the foot and ankle.
A cortisone (steroid) injection can settle inflammation and ease pain from a number of foot and ankle conditions.
Some of our podiatrists use our own diagnostic ultrasound to look at the problem and, if an injection is right for you, to guide the needle to the exact spot. Ultrasound makes the injection more accurate, and it means assessment and treatment can often happen at the same appointment.
Conditions we may treat with an injection
- Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
- Bursitis
- Inflamed or arthritic joints
- Some tendon problems
- Morton's neuroma
An injection isn't right for everyone, or for every condition. We'll explain the benefits, the risks and the other options before you decide.
