Ultrasound-Guided Injections in Green Bay, WI

Ultrasound-Guided Injections

Not all pain comes from the spine. Joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments throughout the body generate their share — and treating them effectively means seeing the target. Ultrasound guidance lets Dr. Wilkins watch the needle in real time as medication is delivered precisely to the inflamed joint, tendon sheath, or muscle, rather than injecting by feel.

Expertise you can verify

Dr. Wilkins holds the RMSK certification (Registered in Musculoskeletal Sonography) — he was among the pioneer holders of this credential nationally, and the first physician to bring musculoskeletal ultrasound into practice in Northeast Wisconsin. Diagnostic ultrasound also means many problems can be identified and treated in the same visit, without waiting for an MRI.

Conditions ultrasound-guided injections may help

Shoulder pain (rotator cuff problems, bursitis, frozen shoulder), hip and knee arthritis, tendon problems such as tennis elbow, trigger points and muscle pain, bursitis throughout the body, and small or deep joints that are difficult to inject accurately without imaging.
