Ultrasound is used in many medical specialties and it has become an increasingly popular diagnostic tool in the orthopedic field. If your pain or dysfunction is due to musculoskeletal soft tissue damage, our orthopedic medical physician, Dr. Clark, may recommend an ultrasound study. This procedure uses high-frequency sound waves to detect and create images which allow the orthopedic doctor to assess the physical integrity of your muscles, ligaments, and tendons. An ultrasound is painless. You simply lie on a table while the physician applies a warm gel to the area which is being examined and then glides an examining device over the skin to detect and capture the ultrasound images.
Orthopedic ultrasound is a fast, non-invasive and affordable imaging technique. Since you won’t be exposed to radiation, the procedure is very safe. Ultrasound has been shown to provide a wide range of benefits in orthopedic diagnostics. It has also been successfully used in sports medicine to diagnose muscle, tendon and ligament around skeletal joints. Orthopedic ultrasound has proven itself particularly useful in pinpointing shoulder rotator cuff injuries. After obtaining the ultrasound results, you’ll be able to get the appropriate, most precise treatment.
Orthopedic ultrasound is also valuable in providing precision needle guidance as the physician injects a specific musculoskeletal injury with Prolotherapy or Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy.
