Watch: Ultrasound-Guided Shoulder Injection Step by Step

In this short video, we walk you through what happens during an ultrasound-guided shoulder injection.

What to Expect on the Day of Your Shoulder Injection

ou’ll see how the shoulder is scanned first with ultrasound, how the skin is cleaned and prepared using sterile technique, and how the injection is carried out in real time under ultrasound guidance.

The aim of this video is to show you what to expect on the day of your procedure – from the brief discussion before we start, to the injection itself, and the immediate aftercare advice.

This type of injection is commonly used for patients with shoulder bursitis or rotator cuff–related shoulder pain that hasn’t improved with simple measures. If you’re anxious about what the procedure involves, watching the process step by step can be very reassuring.
