Musculoskeletal Interventional Services
Ultrasound-Guided Musculoskeletal Interventions
At VERITAS, we not only diagnose musculoskeletal conditions with high precision but also offer ultrasound-guided therapeutic interventions. Using real-time imaging, we ensure that injections and procedures are performed with maximum accuracy, minimal discomfort, and better outcomes.
Why Choose Ultrasound Guidance for Interventions?
- Precise needle placement – ensures the medication or regenerative therapy is delivered exactly where it is needed.
- Enhanced safety – minimizes risk of injury to nearby nerves or vessels.
- Better results – accurate targeting improves treatment efficacy.
- Patient comfort – reduces pain and anxiety during the procedure.
Interventions We Offer
1. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injection
- Uses your own blood-derived platelets to stimulate healing.
- Ideal for tendon injuries, ligament tears, early osteoarthritis, and chronic pain conditions.
- Promotes natural tissue regeneration and long-term pain relief.
2. Steroid (Corticosteroid) Injection
- Reduces inflammation and pain in joints, bursae, and tendons.
- Provides rapid symptom relief for conditions like bursitis, arthritis, and tendonitis.
- Ultrasound ensures accurate delivery to the affected area.
3. Hydrodissection
- A specialized technique where fluid is injected under ultrasound guidance to separate adhesions, free entrapped nerves, and reduce pain.
- Commonly used for conditions like nerve entrapments (carpal tunnel, radial/ulnar nerve entrapment).
- Minimally invasive with excellent results.
Advantages of Our Ultrasound-Guided Procedures
- Performed by an expert musculoskeletal radiologist
- Minimally invasive with quick recovery
- Avoids unnecessary surgeries in many cases
When to Consider These Interventions?
- Persistent pain despite physiotherapy and medications
- Sports injuries or chronic tendon/ligament problems
- Nerve entrapments causing tingling, numbness, or weakness
- Patients seeking non-surgical treatment options

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MSK (Musculoskeletal) imaging?
A: MSK imaging refers to scans and X-rays used to assess bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues. It helps identify the cause of pain, injury, or reduced movement.
Do I need a referral for an MSK diagnostic scan?
A: In most cases, yes. Your GP, physiotherapist, or specialist can refer you for a scan so we can ensure the right test is performed for your condition.
Are MSK interventions painful?
A: Most procedures are well-tolerated. We use local anaesthetic and real-time imaging to minimise discomfort. You may feel some pressure or mild stinging, but it’s usually brief.
How long does an MSK scan take?
A:
Ultrasound: Around 15–30 minutes
MRI: 20–45 minutes depending on the body part
X-ray: Less than 10 minutes
What is the recovery time after an MSK injection?
A: You can usually go home the same day. Some mild soreness may occur for 24–48 hours, but most patients resume normal activities quickly.
Are these procedures safe?
A: Yes. All our MSK diagnostics and interventions are performed by experienced specialists using safe, evidence-based techniques and sterile conditions.
How soon will I get my results?
A: We aim to send results to your referring clinician within 24–48 hours. For urgent cases, reports are prioritized.
Can MSK injections replace surgery?
A: In some cases, image-guided injections can significantly reduce pain and delay or avoid the need for surgery. Your doctor will advise what’s best for you.
