Ultrasound

At Physio & More, we provide advanced ultrasound imaging and diagnostics to support your health and recovery. Our cutting-edge technology and expert clinicians ensure accurate, timely results tailored to your specific needs.

Why Choose Ultrasound?

Ultrasound has become a vital tool in modern healthcare, offering a safe, non-invasive way to visualise and assess the body’s intricate workings. Unlike some other imaging techniques, ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of soft tissues, joints, and internal structures, without the use of ionising radiation. This makes it a particularly safe option for a wide range of patients, including pregnant women and children.

The real-time nature of ultrasound imaging allows healthcare professionals to observe movement and interaction within the body, providing valuable insights for diagnosis and treatment. This dynamic view is particularly useful for assessing musculoskeletal injuries, allowing clinicians to visualise tendons, ligaments, and muscles in motion. Whether you’re experiencing joint pain, muscle stiffness, or the lingering effects of an injury, ultrasound can help pinpoint the source of your discomfort.

What is Ultrasound?

Ultrasound, also known as ultrasonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images of the body’s internal structures. These sound waves penetrate the skin to provide clear images of deep tissues, making diagnostic ultrasound an effective and harmless way to assess various musculoskeletal conditions. This includes evaluating tendons, muscles, joints, and surrounding soft tissues. Unlike X-rays, ultrasound scanning does not involve radiation, making it a safe alternative with no harmful side effects.

What is a Steroid or Cortisone Injection?

A steroid injection (commonly referred to as a cortisone injection) is a treatment that delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected area, reducing pain and inflammation. Steroid injections are particularly beneficial for conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis. These injections offer relief for joint pain, including the knee, shoulder, or other inflamed areas, and are often combined with ultrasound guidance to ensure accurate delivery to the targeted site.

Steroid injections, such as hydrocortisone, triamcinolone, and methylprednisolone, typically start working within a few days, with effects lasting several months. These injections often contain local anaesthetics, providing immediate pain relief for a few hours following the procedure.

Why Choose Ultrasound-Guided Injections?

Using ultrasound therapy to guide the injection improves precision and treatment outcomes. Ultrasound-guided injections allow for the direct visualisation of the needle and accurate placement of medication at the exact site of inflammation or injury. This approach ensures effective delivery of steroids, maximising pain relief and reducing inflammation.

Studies show that ultrasound-guided steroid injections provide more effective pain relief than “blind” injections, where no imaging guidance is used. This method minimises the risk of injury to nearby structures and ensures that the medication reaches the intended site, offering longer-lasting effects.
