Advanced MSK Diagnostic Ultrasound: Precision in Chiropractic Care
​
This non-invasive imaging technology provides real-time insights into soft tissue injuries and disorders, enhancing accuracy in diagnosis and improving treatment outcomes.
​
What is MSK Diagnostic Ultrasound?
MSK diagnostic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other soft tissues. Unlike X-rays, which primarily show bones, ultrasound focuses on soft tissue structures, making it a valuable tool for evaluating musculoskeletal health.
Advantages of MSK Ultrasound:
-
Non-Invasive: No needles, radiation, or incisions involved.
-
Real-Time Imaging: View moving tissues for dynamic assessments.
-
Precision: Identify injuries with high accuracy for targeted treatment.
-
Convenience: Performed right in our office for immediate insights.
