ULTRASOUND GUIDED PROCEDURES AND DIAGNOSTICS
Our clinic is equipped with a brand new 2024 Sonosite ST Ultrasound System, featuring a 21” all touchscreen 1600 x 1200 pixels display with steep needle profiling.
Ultrasound is completely harmless. The technology of ultrasound is in its name; ultra- "beyond" + sound. It works by emitting and recording sound at frequencies greater than the upper limit of human hearing, which is approximately 20 kilohertz.
If needed, we can readily view your muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves, and parts of the lumbar spine.
Pictured here is the long head of the biceps tendon in the bicipital groove.
Ultrasound guidance can verify correct needle placement for joint injections, intramuscular injections, peri-tendinous injections, nerve blocks, and more.
