Diagnostic Sonography

Diagnostic musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissues. It is commonly used to assess injuries, inflammation, and degenerative conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system.

MSK ultrasound helps diagnose and monitor a range of conditions, including:

Tendon injuries (e.g., rotator cuff tears, Achilles tendinopathy)
Ligament injuries and sprains
Muscle tears and strains
Joint inflammation (e.g., arthritis, bursitis)
Nerve entrapment (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome)
Fluid collections (e.g., cysts, hematomas)
Lumps & bumps
Guidance for injections and other treatments

At East London Chiropractic, all MSK ultrasound examinations are performed by Dr. Will, our highly skilled MSK Sonographer, who specialises in musculoskeletal imaging and diagnostics.

What Happens During the Examination?

Preparation:

No special preparation is required. You may be asked to expose the area being examined.

Procedure:

A small amount of gel is applied to the skin, and a handheld device called a transducer moves over the area. The sound waves create real-time images on a screen.

Movement Assessment:

You may be asked to move the affected joint or muscle to assess its function dynamically.

How Long Does It Take?

A typical MSK ultrasound scan lasts 30 minutes, depending on the area being examined and the complexity of the condition.

How Does it Feel?

The procedure is completely painless, safe and non-invasive.
