Nerve ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize nerves and surrounding tissues. This method helps doctors diagnose conditions such as nerve inflammation compression or hidden injuries with clarity and precision.

Benefits of nerve ultrasound

1 Detects inflammation or compression not visible through other diagnostic methods
2 Provides clear images essential for creating effective treatment plans
3 Speeds up the diagnostic process ensuring timely care for patients
4 Safe painless and radiation-free making it suitable for all patients

Who should consider nerve ultrasound

  • Individuals experiencing pain numbness or tingling associated with nerve issues
  • Those suspected of having nerve compression conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Patients with physical injuries potentially affecting nerves

How the procedure works

Nerve ultrasound is a quick and non-invasive process. Patients are positioned comfortably while a doctor applies gel and uses a handheld device to capture detailed images of the nerves.
