If you’re experiencing a persistent issue requiring further diagnosis or considering surgical options, Diagnostic Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound, available at our Dorset clinics, could be the answer. This non-invasive, real-time imaging technique aids in diagnosing your injury, thereby improving your treatment strategy and accelerating your recovery.
Our experienced Sonographers, located at our Ashley Cross (Poole) and West Hants (Bournemouth) clinics, are skilled in accurately assessing and diagnosing a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and chronic conditions, including but not limited to tendonitis, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff tears, and various joint problems.
The Benefits of MSK Diagnostic Ultrasound:
- Non-Invasive: The procedure involves no needles or incisions and is completely painless.
- Real-Time Imaging: Our physiotherapists can observe your body’s structures in motion, offering dynamic insights not possible with static imaging like X-rays or MRI.
- Accurate Diagnosis: MSK ultrasound enables precise identification of injuries and conditions, leading to more effective treatment and quicker recovery.
- Enhanced Treatment Planning: By visualising the affected area in real-time, our physiotherapists can customise your treatment plan to your specific needs, optimising your rehabilitation.
- Cost Effective: compared to other imaging methods, MSK ultrasound presents a more affordable alternative.
Our highly qualified sonographers are also experienced physiotherapists. They will explain their findings, show you relevant images, and guide you through any necessary rehabilitation based on the ultrasound results.
Tom Jeffery, Clinic Director and Ultrasonographer at Six Physio West Hants, explains:
“Musculoskeletal ultrasound provides a dynamic view inside the body, enabling fast and accurate injury diagnoses. This not only guides immediate treatment but also allows for real-time monitoring of tissue healing, significantly improving the efficiency and effectiveness of rehabilitation programs.”
Diagnostic MSK Ultrasound services are available at our Ashley Cross, Poole and West Hants, Bournemouth clinics in Dorset.
