Diagnostic Ultrasound
Diagnostic Ultrasound
Diagnostic ultrasound is highly effective in aiding in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries. It allows some of our clinicians at physio2go to quickly look inside the body to help determine the cause of your symptoms alongside a conventional physical assessment.
Ultrasound is excellent at looking at tendons, ligaments, muscles and surface bone. It does have its limitations though in not being able to assess deeper structures in the body such as cruciate ligaments in the knee and cartilage.
Here at Physio2go, we only use diagnostic ultrasound as part of a musculoskeletal physiotherapy assessment. We are not trained in investigating lumps and bumps or vascular conditions such as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). These conditions require training outside of the scope of practice of the physiotherapists working at Physio2go. If there are concerns about lumps and bumps or vascular conditions, you will need onward referral to be investigated further by suitably trained personnel.
How Can Physio2go Help?
If you would like a diagnostic ultrasound as part of your physiotherapy assessment, please make sure to mention this to a member of the physio2go team when booking your appointment.
Please note, at Pyhsio2go we do not use diagnostic ultrasound imaging on the spine, pelvis or abdominal area. We also, do not investigate hernias.

What our patients say...
Julie P
"Just returned from our weeks skiing holiday in Cervinia, Italy with no bones broken and not a twinge in the shoulder! I think we've cracked it! Thank you so much, regards, Julie"
Judy
"Many thanks for the treatment a week ago now. Just that one treatment has been very successful and I have no pain in my elbow at all at present. I managed the golf invitation day fine last Wednesday with no discomfort. I was most fortunate to get the cancellation on the day and I appreciated you fitting me in. Judy."
Martin R
"Just a quick word of thanks. Sam and I had a perfect skiing holiday and my leg was absolutely fine. That was thanks entirely to you! Thanks again, Martin"
Jean S
"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Back in the early days of January I never thought I would play hockey again. I played 45 minutes last Saturday in a very good game (although we lost 1-0) and really did enjoy it. I really do appreciate your skills."
Georgina J
"I DID IT! Thanks so much for all your help and getting me through the training."
Amanda R
"Thank you ever so much for managing to get my foot back to normal and enable me to run the half marathon. I managed 1 hour 59 mins which I was so pleased with especially because I always wanted to run it under 2 hours. There was a point for a minute where I didn't think I would be able to even run it but with your amazing equipment and expertise, I managed to. We raised £10,000 as our final amount for the ECH hospital so I know you will understand why this was extremely important to me. Thank you so much, Amanda."
