Pain, swelling, or difficulty moving can be warning signs of muscle and joint problems. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for targeted and effective treatment. “Muscle and joint ultrasound” is a technology that allows doctors to clearly see the problem without surgery.
How does Muscle and Joint Ultrasound work?
The ultrasound machine sends high-frequency sound waves to the area being examined. The sound waves bounce back and are converted into images, showing the structure and condition of muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and joint fluid.
