Muscle, tendon, and joint pain can affect anyone, from weekend athletes to office workers. When
pain, swelling, or limited movement occurs, it can be hard to know the cause. A musculoskeletal
(MSK) ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that helps reveal what’s happening beneath
the surface, giving clarity, reassurance, and guidance for treatment.
At Ultramsono, in Kensington Olympia, London, we offer private musculoskeletal ultrasound scans
performed by expert sonographers, providing detailed insight into your muscles, tendons, ligaments,
and joints.
�� What Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Can Detect
MSK ultrasound is highly effective at assessing soft tissue and joint structures in real time. Common
pathologies it can detect include:
Tendon injuries or tears (e.g., rotator cuff, Achilles, patellar)
Ligament sprains or partial tears (e.g., ankle, knee, wrist)
Bursitis or fluid collections around joints
Joint effusions or synovial thickening
Muscle strains, hematomas, or cysts
Unlike MRI, MSK ultrasound is dynamic, allowing the sonographer to observe movement and assess
how structures interact, which can be key in diagnosing subtle or early injuries.
�� Benefits of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound as a First-Line Imaging Tool
Choosing ultrasound as the first-line imaging has many advantages:
✅ Non-invasive and radiation-free – safe for repeated assessments
✅ Immediate results – see findings during the scan
✅ Dynamic evaluation – assess joints and tendons in motion
✅ High-resolution imaging – ideal for superficial structures
✅ Cost-effective and accessible – faster and more convenient than other imaging modalities
By providing accurate and early insight, MSK ultrasound can help guide treatment, whether that’s
physiotherapy, monitoring recovery, or referring for further specialist care.
�� When to Consider a Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
You may benefit from an MSK scan if you experience:
Persistent joint or tendon pain
Swelling or stiffness limiting movement
Clicking or popping in a joint
Sports or work-related injuries
Monitoring recovery after an injury or surgery
Early imaging can help prevent further damage and support a faster, safer recovery.
