Nerve ultrasound is a diagnostic technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of nerves and surrounding tissues. This non-invasive method is essential for identifying nerve injuries or inflammation that may not be visible through other diagnostic tools.
A Real-Life Patient Experience
One patient experiencing chronic numbness and pain in their arm shared how nerve ultrasound uncovered a compressed nerve that had been causing their symptoms. The precise diagnosis allowed the doctor to recommend targeted treatments such as physical therapy and ergonomic adjustments, leading to significant symptom relief and improved quality of life.
