Diagnostic ultrasound and ultrasound guided interventional techniques
Ultrasound is an office-based procedure that can often provide greater resolution than MRI. It is ideal for visualizing blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. It can visualize structures at rest and as they move, allowing subtle details to be seen. Often, we can see if a nerve is tethered or if “pinched” by a bulging muscle or bone during its arc of motion. It is also a fantastic modality for needle guidance during joint injections or nerve blocks and makes for greater safety during invasive procedures because it allows more accurate medicine placement during procedures, such as PRP and hyaluronicacid joint supplementation.
