Injection of the shoulder
The shoulder consists of a number of sites that are amenable to injection therapy both as a diagnostic procedure and as a form of treatment. These include:
- the glenohumeral joint
- the subacromial bursa and space
- the acromioclavicular joint
- the bicipital groove
- a suprascapular nerve block
The choice of injection site and method of approach will vary according to the nature of the symptoms and the precise diagnosis. A good knowledge of the anatomy is required to give these injections accurately. Note that these injections should only be undertaken by clinicians experienced in these procedures.
