Nerve ultrasound is a diagnostic technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of nerves and surrounding structures such as muscles and tissues. This non-invasive method is ideal for diagnosing and assessing nerve-related conditions like inflammation nerve entrapment or damage from injuries.

Why nerve examination matters

The nervous system controls movement sensation and body functions. Early detection of nerve abnormalities through ultrasound can prevent severe complications and ensure timely treatment.

Benefits of nerve ultrasound

1 Accurately diagnoses conditions like nerve compression or inflammation
2 Provides real-time imaging allowing immediate evaluation by doctors
3 Reduces the need for more complex tests such as MRI or CT scans in some cases
4 Safe and painless suitable for patients of all ages

Who should consider nerve ultrasound

  • Individuals experiencing numbness tingling or muscle weakness
  • Those suspected of having nerve entrapment syndromes like carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Patients with nerve injuries or suspected nerve damage
