Arthrocentesis
A quick and minimally invasive solution for relieving joint pain and swelling.
Arthrocentesis is a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess fluid from swollen joints to relieve pain and improve function. This is often combined with corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation.
How it Works:
A needle is inserted into the affected joint to drain the excess synovial fluid.
Sterile corticosteroids or saline may be injected to prevent further inflammation.
Ultrasound guidance may be used for precise needle placement.
Fluid analysis can be performed to diagnose underlying conditions.
The procedure is sterile and minimises risk of infection.
Conditions Treated:
Joint Swelling: Caused by arthritis, gout, or joint infections.

Synovial Cysts: Reduces swelling and discomfort caused by fluid-filled cysts.
Benefits:
