Diagnostic MSK ultrasound scans provide accurate diagnosis of musculo-skeletal injuries and conditions such as ligament and tendon inflammation, ruptures and tears, and bursitis -i.e. bursa inflammation, tendinitis, soft tissue injuries and adhesion’s, arthritis, crepitus, calcium spurs, plantar fasciitis and fractures are just a few that may be treated with Shockwave Therapy.

Digital X-rays provide accurate diagnosis of Bone Fractures, and certain conditions of the Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar spine.

MRI is great because there is no radiation transferred to the patient and the doctor can see much more details in the soft tissues, muscle, tendon, and cartilage. It is also excellent for finding fractures missed on X-ray examination. MRI machines are made of large magnets, which can present some issues. Patients with pacemakers, metal, and other implants cannot undergo MRI examination, but from a clinical standpoint it is hard to ignore how much detail can be found in MRI and it is a very valuable piece of imaging.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound scans are safe and can be done on anyone. 

A diagnostic MSK ultrasound scan will help diagnose arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, ligament and tendon tears and ruptures and soft tissue and sports injuries. Musculoskeletal ultrasound scans are also part of many of our routine clinics.

A small amount of gel is used on the skin, and a handheld device is used to look ‘inside’ the joint. We perform musculoskeletal ultrasound scans for conditions affecting the: shoulder: e.g.tendon tears, effusion, frozen shoulder, biceps Tendinitis, Impingement Syndrome, shoulder bursitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, arthritis, calcium spurs.

When you have already tried every other treatment to ease pain are you suffering from chronic pain in your back, knee, shoulder, heel, foot or elbow? Then Shockwave Therapy provides fast and effective relief from pain. Our clinic also provides for patients on-site diagnostic MSK ultrasound scanning and digital X-ray facilities.

Shockwave Therapy can achieve excellent results for people suffering from persistent and painful conditions. In many instances there will be an immediate reduction in pain, as well as improved mobility and function. This therapy is non-invasive, non-addictive and there is no need for anaesthesia. Each treatment session takes approximately 5-20 minutes. Most conditions require just 3 to 5 treatments that are done 3-7 days apart.
