We see it everyday.
The majority of pain that destroys quality of life is created by the most obscure issues.
Issues that will never be detected on a still image like MRI or Xray.
For example: post-surgical scar tissue, calcification lodged into a tendon, a biceps tendon that dislocates (only revealed during motion evaluation), subtle stress fractures, small foreign bodies, ligament laxity (only revealed during stress testing), shoulder impingement-to name a few.
Yet the MRI will come back with βnormal findingsβ and patients are sent on their way with maybe some pills, a script for physical therapy and a follow-up appointment in 6 weeks.
At MSK GUIDE we use ultrasound to diagnose and Regenerative Medicine to treat these issues.
In order for treatment to be effective, itβs imperative to visualize needle placement. Only if you want the best chance at a successful outcome.
Thats why we refer to MSK Ultrasound as βcommon sense imagingβ and use it as an extension of our vision to see clearly beneath the surface of the skin.
