Why Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is a non-invasive, accurate imaging modality that can be used to diagnose a variety of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders at Point of Care which is Cost effective for the service user.

It uses sound waves to provides real time accurate information about the size, shape and structure of soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves), bones and for inflammatory conditions ( Rheumatoid Arthritis).

To date,there is no evidence that diagnostic ultrasound has produced any harm to humans (including the developing fetus).

Unlike MRI, the use of diagnostic ultrasound provides dynamic information pertaining to the abnormality since the scans can be performed while moving the joint of interest through range of motion maneuvers. 

In the last decade, there has been considerable growth in use of diagnostic and interventional Ultrasound (US) in the field of musculoskeletal, Orthopedics and Rheumatology. Many interventional procedures may be performed using ultrasound guidance such as joint aspiration/injections, hydro-dissection techniques, and regenerative medicine procedures. Ultrasound guidance for interventional procedures provides a higher level of accuracy, improved treatment success, and patient safety as compared to “landmark techniques” since the clinician can see exactly where the needle is being placed.

Ultrasound guided regenerative medicine procedures such as prolotherapy, PRP, bone marrow, and lipo-aspiration techniques can improve healing time, and in many cases eliminate the need for surgical interventions. helping to reduce diagnostic waiting times, secondary care referrals and provide right care at right time in the primary care.

Diagnostic and Intervention service can be provided together or separately as per the requirement.
