Ultrasound of the musculoskeletal system
Ultrasound can be used as additional diagnostics at Fysio Quality. The expertise of the ultrasound examination is on the postural and musculoskeletal system. Visible are the muscles, tendons, bands, haircuts, bursa, bones and joints. Ultrasound is a high-quality and dynamic form of diagnostics. Recordings can be made by means of sound waves, allowing the tissue to be assessed. One of the advantages is that the patient does not have to lie or sit still during the examination. The sonographer can assess the tissue in various positions and during movement. A patient can immediately indicate where the pain is.
