Service
At Herne Hill Chiropractic, we offer Ultrasound Imaging to gain detailed insight into your musculoskeletal health, helping us diagnose accurately and plan effective treatment, whether that be conservative management or injection therapy.
What is diagnostic Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging is widely regarded as the gold standard for diagnosing many joint, tendon, and soft tissue conditions due to its high-resolution images and ability to assess structures dynamically. It allows us to identify subtle changes in soft tissues and joints that may not be apparent through clinical examination alone. Ultrasound is a non-invasive, painless and safe method of imaging that does not involve radiation. Your scan results and treatment plan are explained clearly so you understand your condition and the best way forward.
Ultrasound Guided Injection
Ultrasound-guided injections are precise, minimally invasive treatments that use real-time imaging to deliver the therapeutic solution directly to the affected joint, tendon, or soft tissue. This targeted approach reduces pain and inflammation, supports healing, and provides noticeable improvement soon after treatment.
Conditions We Diagnose and Treat
