Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is an extremely effective, non-surgical method of creating real-time images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. For individuals with an injury or chronic pain, it’s an absolute necessity when diagnosing and making arrangements for proper treatment. In this post, we’ll discuss MSK ultrasound, how it functions, and why it’s the go-to option for many in the Springfield area.
How Does MSK Ultrasound Work?
MSK ultrasound employs high-frequency ultrasound to produce images of the musculoskeletal system. In contrast to X-rays, which are optimal for bone, ultrasound technology is optimal for detecting soft tissue structures such as muscles and tendons. Real-time imaging enables physicians to see movement, detect inflammation, and detect abnormalities not seen with other scans.
Conditions commonly diagnosed with MSK ultrasound:
Tendonitis and tendinosis
Muscle tears or strains
Joint inflammation (arthritis)
Ligament damage
Nerve entrapments, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
MSK ultrasound is particularly beneficial for tracking progress after injection and recovery, giving both doctors and patients great images of healing.
