Nerves play a crucial role in transmitting signals between the brain and body. If a nerve issue arises, it can affect a child’s movement or sensation. Nerve ultrasound is an effective, non-invasive way to diagnose and address these concerns early.
Kids talk about their ultrasound experience
Many kids feel nervous at first, but once they learn there are no needles or pain involved, they quickly relax. The procedure starts with applying a cool gel to the skin, followed by a small handheld device moving over the area to create detailed images of the nerves.
“It felt like playing a game. Nothing hurt, just a cool gel on my arm,” said an 8-year-old boy.
“I only felt ticklish when the doctor moved the probe. It wasn’t scary at all,” added a 10-year-old girl.
