Targeted relief that restores function — without steroids.
Think of ultrasound guidance like a live X-ray on a screen. It lets your provider see exactly what’s under your skin in real time — the muscle, the joint, the nerves nearby — so the injection goes exactly where it needs to go instead of guessing based on feel alone. Ultrasound-guided injections are one part of your complete rehab program, used to ease pain, calm down inflammation, and help your muscles and joints move the way they’re supposed to.
Trigger Point Injections
For tight, painful muscles. Using the ultrasound screen as a guide, your provider places a fine needle directly into the exact muscle knot that’s driving your pain, releasing the tension right where it lives. We use a combination of saline, lidocaine, Marcaine (bupivacaine), or Sarapin — a plant-derived, non-steroidal option — to loosen tight muscle, ease local pain, and get you moving better.
Joint Injections
To restore the joint. Ultrasound lets your provider place the injection precisely inside the joint itself, adding lubrication and calming down inflammation so the joint can move the way it should. We use hyaluronic acid, a natural joint lubricant, along with saline, lidocaine, Marcaine, or Sarapin, to cushion the joint, reduce inflammation, and support better function.
Why Ultrasound Guidance?
- Precise — the medication reaches the exact target, not just the general area
- Safer — your provider can see and steer around nerves and blood vessels
- Better results — a level of accuracy a "blind" injection simply can’t offer
Why We Don’t Use Steroids
Cortisone shots can ease inflammation fast, but especially with repeat use, they can work against the healing we’re trying to build. Steroid injections can wear down cartilage inside the joint over time, weaken nearby tendons and ligaments, thin the skin, shrink local tissue, and raise blood sugar — a real concern for many of our patients. The relief is often short-lived, covering up the problem instead of fixing it.
We’re here to relieve pain by restoring function, not by covering it up. That’s why we choose non-steroidal options that work with your body’s own healing, as one piece of a personalized plan built to get you back to the work and life you don’t want to sit out of.

Push Patches: Peptide Therapy
Needle-free peptide therapy with steady, 12-hour delivery.
Peptides are small chains of amino acids — the same basic building blocks your body already uses to build and repair tissue. Your body makes them naturally every day; we simply use specific ones to help support that process. Instead of a needle, our push patches deliver peptides right through the skin, giving you a steady, all-day dose over about 12 hours without a shot or an IV chair.
Ask our team whether push patch therapy is part of the right plan for you.
NAD+
You’ve probably heard people talking about NAD+ — it’s one of the most talked-about things in health right now, and there’s a good reason for that. NAD+ is something every cell in your body needs to make energy and repair itself, but the amount your body naturally makes drops as you get older. Restoring it is thought to help support energy, mental focus, and overall vitality. At Resolve Medical, NAD+ is available as part of a physician-directed care plan, delivered through our push patch system for steady support throughout the day.
Ask our team if NAD+ is right for you.
Exosomes
Exosomes are tiny packages your cells release to "talk" to one another — a natural part of how your body coordinates healing and repair. Researchers are still working to fully understand everything exosomes can do, but they’re one of the most closely studied areas in advanced biological science today. As with any newer therapy, our physicians will sit down and talk with you about whether exosomes make sense as part of your care plan.
Ask our team if exosomes are the right fit for you.
