Diagnosis, procedure and advantages of infiltration therapy
The decision to undergo infiltration therapy begins with a detailed diagnosis. A thorough clinical examination and, if necessary, imaging procedures such as X-rays, MRI or ultrasound help to identify the exact cause of the pain and determine whether infiltration is a suitable treatment option.
The procedure for infiltration therapy is minimally invasive and is performed on an outpatient basis. Using a fine needle, anti-inflammatory drugs or local anaesthetics are specifically injected into the affected area. Depending on the indication, the infiltration can be carried out in joints, spine, tendons or muscle areas. Precise placement ensures a direct effect at the point of pain, which can quickly relieve the symptoms and reduce movement restrictions.
Advantages of infiltration therapy:
- Rapid pain relief: Effective directly at the affected area
- Minimally invasive: No surgical intervention required
- Improved mobility: Painful restrictions are reduced
- Targeted treatment: Fewer side effects than systemic painkillers
- Can be performed on an outpatient basis: No long recovery period necessary
Infiltration therapy offers an effective way to treat pain in the musculoskeletal system in a targeted manner, thereby sustainably improving the quality of life. Depending on the individual situation, the therapy can be carried out as a one-time treatment or in several sessions to achieve long-term freedom from symptoms.
