Fluoroscopy-Guided Procedure

Fluoroscopy-Guided
Procedure

Fluoroscopy-guided procedures are minimally invasive treatments designed to help manage chronic pain and inflammation without surgery. Using advanced real-time imaging technology, physicians can accurately guide needles and medication directly to the source of pain, improving precision, effectiveness, and patient comfort.

What is a Fluoroscopy-Guided Procedure?

A Fluoroscopy-Guided Procedure is a conservative, non-operative treatment used to help manage chronic pain and inflammation. It uses real-time imaging technology to guide medication directly to the exact area causing pain, discomfort, or inflammation for more accurate and effective treatment.

How does fluoroscopy improve treatment accuracy?

Fluoroscopy provides continuous live imaging that allows physicians to precisely guide needles and instruments during the procedure. This advanced imaging technology helps improve accuracy, enhance safety, and ensure the medication reaches the targeted area effectively.

The goal is not only to reduce pain but also to help patients achieve better movement and daily performance with reduced risks and complications.

Benefits of
Fluoroscopy-Guided Procedure

Accurate and Precise Treatment

Provides a visual of the body’s internal structure and allows for real-time detection of needle placement during procedures. It supports increased treatment success and reduces the risk of unintended complications.

Improved Pain Relief Outcomes

Enhance the effectiveness of treatment, especially in areas that are difficult to visualize or access. It assists healthcare providers in delivering medication precisely to the targeted area, thereby increasing pain relief.

Reduced risk and side effects

The precision offered by fluoroscopy helps avoid damaging surrounding nerves and blood vessels during treatment. An approach minimizing the risks while ensuring the medication is delivered to the correct location.

Enhance Comfort

It helps to lessen the discomfort typically experienced during injection procedures. The precise visualization can reduce the need for multiple needle insertions, thereby decreasing the pain and anxiety associated with the treatment.

Supports Treatment for Complex Conditions

Can be a tool for patients with prior surgeries or complex anatomy where traditional injection methods may be less effective.

Frequently asked
questions

Is the fluoroscopy-guided injection safe?

Yes, fluoroscopy-guided injections are safe and minimally invasive.

At AHBA, we prioritize safety and use sterile techniques throughout the procedure. The radiation exposure is minimal because our fluoroscopy machine operates at a low-dose frequency. Our provider is trained medical professionals, ensuring the highest standard of care.

How long does fluoroscopy-guided injection take?

The procedure depends on the severity of your condition and the area that will be treated. Most of the procedure would take at least 20 to 45 minutes.

What are the possible side effects of the procedure?

After the treatment, mild, temporary discomfort in the treated area is expected. These symptoms usually resolve within 1 to 2 days after treatment.

Can fluoroscopy-guided injection be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Fluoroscopy-guided procedures are often part of a comprehensive treatment plan, including physical therapy, regenerative medicine, and longevity and wellness.
