VINMED Fluoroscopy Therapy is the next frontier of pain management. Without surgery, it is possible to utilize the body’s own natural healing mechanisms to manage and recover from numerous musculoskeletal injuries.
At Vinmed, we’re dedicated to providing our patients with access to the latest and most advanced technology, and that includes imaging. That’s why we proudly offer fluoroscopy for joint injections.
Similar to an X-ray, fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses a continuous X-ray beam. Due to the benefit of real-time imaging, fluoroscopy is a useful tool to ensure joint injections are administered in the most precise and safe way possible—eliminating risks and possible negative results sometimes associated with joint injections.
Joint injection with fluoroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a medication that contains corticosteroid and anesthetic into the joint to relieve joint pain. It can also help doctors diagnose the source of joint pain.
A fluoroscopic guided joint injection involves injecting a small amount of local anesthetic and corticosteroid into the joint under fluoroscopic guidance to relieve pain.

The source of many pain conditions is very tiny and difficult to find without live imaging. “Blind” injections may not find the precise spot to deliver the medication, and worse, could damage nerves or tissue in the process. Fluoroscopic injections are safer and more effective, giving a live view of the needle’s position as it is inserted into the tissue. The medication can be accurately placed, even when going into delicate, tight spots like the epidural space or facet joints in the spine.
Fluoroscopy guided injections can provide safe and accurate treatment for many types of orthopedic pain. The process is similar to any injection treatment for the patient – the injection does not require any preparation or restrictions before it can be performed. The skin will be numbed first, then the contrast dye is injected to allow imaging to detect the needle and tissue. Once the needle is in the correct position, medication can be injected into the site. Usually, a numbing agent is injected first to determine if it is indeed the source of pain, then a steroid or other medication.
Fluoroscopic injections can be a valuable tool for both diagnosis and pain management. At Vinmed, we utilize the benefits of fluoroscopy for precise, safe injections for patients at our medical center in Winter Springs.
