Elbow Ultrasound
At Physio and More in Kingston Upon Thames, we offer specialised elbow ultrasound services to accurately diagnose and treat a range of elbow-related conditions. Whether you’re suffering from tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, or other issues such as epicondylitis, our expert clinicians use ultrasound scanning to provide a clear and detailed assessment, ensuring that your treatment is both effective and tailored to your needs.
Comprehensive Elbow Ultrasound Services
Ultrasound is a non-invasive, radiation-free diagnostic tool that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the soft tissues, muscles, tendons, and joints. This makes it particularly useful for assessing conditions related to the elbow, such as epicondylitis (inflammation of the tendons around the elbow), biceps and triceps injuries, and impingement. The precision of ultrasound allows us to detect even minor injuries, providing you with an accurate diagnosis that guides your treatment plan.
Golfer’s Elbow Ultrasound
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow and can cause significant pain and discomfort, especially during gripping or wrist movement. Our golfer’s elbow ultrasound service provides a thorough evaluation of the tendons and surrounding tissues, enabling us to identify any inflammation or damage and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Tennis Elbow Ultrasound
Similarly, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow. Using tennis elbow ultrasound, we can accurately assess the extent of tendon damage or inflammation. This detailed insight helps in formulating effective treatment strategies, whether through physiotherapy, targeted injections, or other therapies designed to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Other Elbow Conditions Treated
In addition to epicondylitis, our elbow ultrasound service can help diagnose and treat:
- Biceps and triceps injuries: Ultrasound can evaluate tears or inflammation in the biceps and triceps tendons, helping us determine the best course of action for your recovery.
- Elbow impingement: By assessing the soft tissues and joints around the elbow, ultrasound helps us identify and treat impingement, where soft tissues get pinched, leading to pain and restricted movement.
