What Is a Shoulder Ultrasound?
A shoulder ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging scan used to determine issues with your shoulder. Unlike X-rays and other types of scans, ultrasound does not use radiation or any invasive technology to study the condition inside your body. Instead, it uses high-frequency sound waves to examine your shoulder muscles, tendons, ligaments, bursae, and other soft tissues around your shoulder joint. These waves bounce off your inner tissues and organs, and this echo is used to create accurate and precise real-time images that help your doctor diagnose a wide range of shoulder conditions.
Our shoulder ultrasound services help your doctor to determine and understand the cause of your symptoms so the most appropriate treatment plan can be recommended.
What Can a Shoulder Ultrasound Detect?
So what types of shoulder concerns can you find out using a shoulder scan? A shoulder ultrasound can provide real-time, detailed images of the soft tissues and assess tendon movement during shoulder motion. With a shoulder scan, doctors can diagnose a wide range of issues, including:
- Muscle injuries
- Ligament injuries
- Joint inflammation
- Tendon inflammation (tendinitis)
- Calcific tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Rotator cuff tears
- Soft tissue abnormalities
- Shoulder impingement
- Fluid collections
With these detailed, accurate images, finding the problem and its main cause becomes much easier and simpler.
When Might You Need a Shoulder Ultrasound?
Wondering when you would actually need a shoulder ultrasound? If your shoulder ache is making things difficult and affecting your normal life and work, it’s time to visit a doctor. Usually, a doctor would recommend you get a shoulder scan if you’re having persistent shoulder pain, difficulty lifting your arm, or swelling around the shoulder. If you notice pain after a fall or injury or reduced shoulder movement, you should talk to your doctor and get a scan done.
Also, if you suspect tendon or ligament injuries, rotator cuff problems, or shoulder impingement, a shoulder scan can help detect it quickly and easily. Even shoulder problems like bursitis and sports-related shoulder injuries can be easily identified with a shoulder ultrasound. With this scan, you can identify the underlying issue early on, before it becomes more severe.
