Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound.
Same-visit imaging at the point of care.
In-office ultrasound evaluation of tendon, joint, and soft-tissue pathology — and the same probe that guides our image-guided injections.
A real-time imaging modality at the point of care.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound visualizes tendons, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and joint surfaces in real time. Unlike MRI, it shows tissue under dynamic load — we can watch a tendon move, look for impingement during shoulder abduction, or assess nerve compression during a specific position. It is non-invasive, requires no sedation or contrast, and the results are interpreted the same visit.
A handheld probe and gel — that is the entire procedure.
You sit or lie comfortably with the affected area exposed. Conducting gel is applied to the skin and the ultrasound probe is moved over the area. Static and dynamic images are captured. The clinician walks you through what they are seeing as they see it. Most studies take fifteen to thirty minutes.
For shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, ankle, hip, and selected spine evaluations.
Diagnostic ultrasound is valuable for shoulder pain (rotator cuff tear, impingement, biceps tendinopathy), elbow pain (epicondylitis, ulnar nerve subluxation), hand and wrist pain (tendinopathies, ganglion cysts), knee and ankle ligament and tendon pathology, plantar fasciitis, certain hernias, and as guidance for nearly every injection we perform.
No restrictions. Results are immediate.
You walk out and resume normal activity. Findings are discussed at the point of care and integrated into the plan, alongside MRI if already performed. Often the ultrasound alone is sufficient — and in many cases we can transition directly into an ultrasound-guided injection or PRP procedure during the same visit.
