There are several methods that we can use at Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians to identify joint deterioration or other problematic conditions. A specialist will investigate medical history, any congenital health problems and explore aspects of your lifestyle and diet that could be contributing to painful symptoms.
While these techniques are helpful in determining potential causes of joint problems, they do not provide a complete picture. An ultrasound using the SonoSite® M-Turbo system will uncover any underlying issues that can otherwise go undetected.
Deep Tissue Analysis
It is possible to determine the health of tissues around the surface of a joint through medical examination. However, issues that are closer to the bone may evade this diagnostic method. By employing SonoSite M-Turbo ultrasound, Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians can closely examine all the components that make up and support the affected joint.
The smallest tear in tissue, a tendon or muscle is highlighted in crystal clarity. We can identify the direct cause of your pain and created an effective treatment plan. Ultrasound can also assist in the precision of the treatments we offer. Whether you need injections or minimally invasive surgery, this advanced technology acts as a guiding light.
Reducing Margin of Error
Traditionally, physicians were forced to use guesswork based on a range of criteria. Without the assistance of technology, the risk of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment is much higher. Our ultrasound equipment eliminates many of the potential complications that arise from performing the wrong procedures.
Conservative treatments for joint conditions rely on careful consideration of the patient’s needs. Time is often a crucial factor in delivering effective relief. If your Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians specialist cannot readily identify the root cause of the problem, you may not receive the treatment you deserve.
