MSK Ultrasound Scanning
Safe, effective imaging to support accurate diagnosis & faster recovery
MSK Ultrasound Scanning in Sutton Coldfield & Lichfield
Ultrasound scans are a safe and effective way to visualise soft tissue injuries in the body.
In our practice, Ultrasound is used to affirm the diagnostic opinions of our Osteopaths and Physiotherapists, in order to make sure your treatment plan is as effective as possible.
Ultrasound affirmation of our diagnoses gives our practitioners an incredible edge in helping their patients quickly gain the best treatment outcomes.
How Ultrasound Supports Your Care
High frequency sound waves are sent through the tissues, and the returning signals are interpreted in real time by your clinician, and discussed with you in the appointment.
This can help reduce anxieties around diagnosis, and help patients understand their recovery timeline.
Your clinician can use follow up scans to monitor your recovery and gauge your progress through your treatment plan.
This is an especially useful tool in helping to reduce injury recurrence for athletes.
