This technique allows therapeutic concentrations of medication to be delivered precisely to the affected area, maximizing effectiveness while minimizing systemic side effects. <\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">The procedure uses specialized needles to inject medications such as corticosteroids, local anesthetics, hyaluronic acid, or tailored combinations depending on the condition being treated. Infiltrations may be performed under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance, or using anatomical landmarks, ensuring accuracy in medication delivery. Depending on the target area, they may be intra-articular, periarticular, epidural, applied to trigger points, or administered into specific soft tissues.
