Medical diagnostic ultrasound for sports injuries
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a painless and harmless way to obtain pictures of structures in the body, such as muscles, tendons and ligaments. It uses high frequency sound waves to generate a live picture of these structures on a screen.
This allows our resident Sports and A&E Doctor to assess your injury, pain or discomfort and diagnose the cause of it. Common injuries diagnosed are shin splints, tendinopathy, ligament sprains, plantarfasciitis, Mortons neuromas, athritis and stress fractures.
Our specialists can help diagnose and treat most sports injuries – book an appointment to discuss the next steps.
