MSK (Musculoskeletal) & Ortho Interventions at CVIC offer minimally invasive, image-guided procedures that diagnose and treat a wide range of bone, joint, tendon, and soft tissue conditions. These cutting-edge techniques help reduce chronic pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life—without the need for open surgery.
Ideal for sports injuries, arthritis, fractures, and spine-related disorders, our MSK interventions bridge the gap between conservative therapy and invasive orthopedic surgery, offering fast, targeted, and lasting relief.
What Are MSK & Ortho Interventions?
MSK & Ortho Interventions involve the use of advanced imaging (ultrasound, fluoroscopy, CT, or MRI) to guide therapeutic procedures into joints, bones, tendons, and soft tissues. These interventions are designed to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, promote healing, or offer structural stabilization in orthopedic and rheumatological conditions.
Key Benefits of MSK & Ortho Interventions at CVIC:
• Minimally invasive with no incisions or sutures
• Performed under real-time imaging guidance for high precision
• Reduced recovery time compared to surgery
• Excellent alternative to open or arthroscopic procedures
• Can be repeated safely when necessary
• Immediate pain relief and improved functionality
Conditions Treated with MSK & Ortho Interventions
1. Chronic Joint Pain
Conditions like osteoarthritis of the knee, shoulder, or hip treated with corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections.
2. Tendonitis and Bursitis
Inflammatory pain in tendons (rotator cuff, Achilles, elbow) and bursae (hip, shoulder) treated with ultrasound-guided injections.
3. Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Capsular distension techniques help restore shoulder range of motion and relieve pain.
4. Sports Injuries
Tendon, ligament, and joint injuries treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or regenerative therapy for quicker healing.
5. Spine Disorders
Conditions like facet joint arthritis, SI joint dysfunction, and discogenic back pain are treated with targeted spinal injections.
6. Vertebral Fractures
Caused by osteoporosis or trauma, managed through vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty for stabilization and pain relief.
7. Nerve Entrapment Syndromes
Carpal tunnel, piriformis syndrome, and tarsal tunnel syndromes treated with nerve block or hydrodissection.
Types of MSK & Ortho Interventional Procedures
1. Ultrasound-Guided Joint Injections
Used to deliver steroids, hyaluronic acid, or PRP directly into the joint space (knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, etc.).
2. Hydrodilatation for Frozen Shoulder
Saline and steroid are injected to stretch the joint capsule and improve movement in adhesive capsulitis.
3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
PRP extracted from the patient’s own blood is injected into injured tendons, ligaments, or joints to promote healing.
4. Facet Joint Injections
Performed under fluoroscopy for chronic neck or lower back pain caused by facet arthritis.
5. Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Injections
Treats inflammation or dysfunction of the SI joint, which causes lower back or buttock pain.
6. Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty
Bone cement is injected into fractured vertebrae to relieve pain and restore spinal stability.
7. Tendon Sheath & Bursa Injections
Provides relief from pain due to inflammation of tendon sheaths or bursae in areas like the shoulder, heel, or hip.
8. Image-Guided Biopsies of Bone or Soft Tissue Lesions
Helps diagnose tumors, infections, or other musculoskeletal abnormalities.

How MSK & Ortho Interventions Work at CVIC
Step-by-Step Process:
1. Diagnosis:
Clinical evaluation supported by imaging (X-ray, MRI, USG, CT) to pinpoint the problem.
2. Procedure Planning:
Selection of the best interventional method based on condition severity, imaging findings, and patient history.
3. Procedure Execution:
Performed under ultrasound, fluoroscopy, or CT guidance using sterile technique, often in a day-care setting.
4. Post-Procedural Recovery:
Minimal downtime. Most patients can resume light activity the same or next day.
5. Follow-Up:
Progress assessed in clinic visits; repeated or supportive therapy may be recommended based on improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Are MSK interventions painful?
These procedures are done under local anesthesia and are well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
2. How long does the relief last?
Duration varies; steroid injections may last months, while PRP offers long-term healing potential.
3. Are these a substitute for surgery?
Often yes, especially for patients not ready for or unfit for surgery. Some patients may still need surgery later.
4. Is there any downtime after the procedure?
Most patients resume routine activity within 24–48 hours. Physical therapy may be recommended.
5. Are these interventions safe?
Yes. With image guidance and sterile techniques, risks are minimal.
6. Will I need multiple sessions?
Some conditions may benefit from repeat injections or combined therapies for lasting results.
7. Are these covered under insurance?
Many interventional procedures are covered. Please check with your insurance provider.
8. Can athletes undergo these procedures?
Yes. They are ideal for sports injuries, tendon tears, ligament strains, and joint inflammation.
