Soft Tissue/Tendon Ultrasound
A Soft Tissue/Tendon Ultrasound with Dr. Ralph Rogers at The Clinica in Ascot provides a non-invasive diagnostic tool to assess injuries and conditions affecting your soft tissues and tendons. This imaging technique is crucial for accurately diagnosing sports injuries and guiding appropriate treatment.
What is it?
A Soft Tissue/Tendon Ultrasound is an imaging procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions affecting the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. This type of ultrasound is commonly used to identify injuries such as tendonitis, muscle tears, sprains, and strains, or to detect inflammation or fluid build-up. It is a non-invasive method that provides real-time images, helping physicians like Dr. Ralph Rogers accurately diagnose the issue and develop a targeted treatment plan, particularly for sports-related injuries or chronic pain conditions.
