Ultrasound SONOGRAPHY

MSK Sonography

Here at DPRC, we use a state-of-the-art scanning machine that allows our skilled Physiotherapists to assess injuries in real time during your visit. Whether you have strained a hamstring, pulled a calf muscle, torn a ligament, injured a tendon or hurt a shoulder, we can assess you immediately and diagnose you on the spot.

Ultrasound is used to get a clear picture of structures in your body and examine areas of concern. It
 uses high frequency sound waves transmitted through a handheld device to examine your organs, tissues, and blood vessels. 

WHO CAN GET AN MSK ULTRASOUND?
Anyone! We commonly see: 
GAA players, rugby players, marathon runners, triathletes and many more sports lovers. These athletes have been scanned almost immediately following injury and have received early diagnosis, enabling them to devise the appropriate rehab plan and return to sport quicker!


WHY GET AN MSK ULTRASOUND?
An MSK ultrasound may help determine the source of your muscle or joint symptoms. 

Each answer can lead to the appropriate treatment, or to further investigation.
If an injury to your tendon or muscle is suspected, we can see if it’s intact or torn. Ultrasound can help determine the extent of the injury, sometimes clarify if surgery is indicated, and assess how well these injuries are healing.

Some common diagnoses that may be evaluated by an MSK Ultrasound include:
  • Bursitis
  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Sprained ankle

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Ultrasound can allow the physiotherapist to watch your anatomy move in real time, such as examining how tendons move around joints, and if a joint separates when stressed. Plus, as the patient, you can show us exactly where you feel your symptoms, so we can pinpoint your area of concern at the time of imaging.

Ultrasound doesn’t use radiation, so it can be safely performed on all patients.
