Here are some frequently asked questions about musculoskeletal ultrasounds.
A musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to visualize muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissues. It is commonly used to diagnose injuries, guide injections or treatments, and monitor healing in real time. This technology allows medical professionals to assess movement, detect inflammation, and identify abnormalities that may not appear on standard imaging.
MSK ultrasounds are used to identify sprains, tears, inflammation, tendon or ligament injuries, bursitis, and joint problems, making it an essential tool for accurate musculoskeletal care.
Unlike X-rays, which show bones, MSK ultrasounds focus on soft tissue injuries and can capture real-time movement.
These painful conditions often involve or impact the nervous system, which can cause referred pain and dysfunction distant to the region of injury. The benefits of chiropractic care extend to general health issues, as well, since our body structure affects our overall function. DCs also counsel patients on diet, nutrition, exercise, healthy habits, and occupational and lifestyle modification. We are utilizing emerging medical technologies to treat conditions within the chiropractic scope of practice.
