Joint & Tendon Pain Clinics London | Private Ultrasound Diagnosis

Diagnostic ultrasound is able to examine subtle areas of inflammation, tendon, ligament, and joint capsule tears as well as areas of degeneration to these tissues. This modality also allows experts to see specific areas in greater detail by focusing and zooming the ultrasound probe. 

Musculoskeletal ultrasound offers a unique advantage over static imaging because it allows tissues to be assessed while they are actively moving. By scanning a joint, tendon, or muscle under normal load — such as bending, stretching, or rotating — we can see how these structures behave during real-life movement. This dynamic approach can reveal subtle tendon impingements, joint instabilities, or small tears that may not be visible when the body is at rest. It provides a clearer understanding of the true source of pain and supports more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Whether a joint, tendon or muscle pain, musculoskeletal ultrasound allows for precision guidance of injection to the affected painful tissue. Compared with unguided injections, ultrasound guided injections have been proven safer, less painful and more effective at reducing pain levels.
