After John, a registered nurse from California, injured his shoulder at work, he suffered from pain and inflammation for two years before he was referred to Dr. Alan Hirahara, MD, FRCSC for ultrasound-guided injections. 

My orthopaedic physician did not have an ultrasound in his location, so he was not able to give onsite injection and I was referred here to Dr. Hirahara” John explains. “I think ultrasound has been invaluable in improving my care. He can make sure to hit the right spot so I don’t feel pain and everything goes smoothly.”
