Frequently Asked Questions
A musculoskeletal ultrasound is a diagnostic tool that uses sound waves to create images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joints throughout the body. It is non-invasive and helps in diagnosing conditions, guiding injections, and monitoring treatment.
Musculoskeletal ultrasounds are used to diagnose a variety of conditions including tendon tears, muscle injuries, ligament sprains, inflammation, nerve entrapments, and arthritis.
No special preparation is usually required for a musculoskeletal ultrasound. However, wearing loose-fitting clothing or clothing that can easily expose the area of interest may be helpful. You may also be asked to remove jewellery over the area being examined.
No, the ultrasound procedure is painless. The transducer might press against your skin which can cause mild discomfort if the area being examined is already sensitive or painful.
Typically, a musculoskeletal ultrasound takes about 20 to 30 minutes depending on the area being examined and the complexity of the issue.

The team are always extremely professional and helpful and thoughtful. They always discuss what they’re going to do and why they only do what is necessary never do what’s not necessary and are more concerned about customers being satisfied and looking fantastic after Receiving the service from them. I’ve been having treatments specifically to help my hair grow and they have been extremely helpful and considerate. I also have dark circles under my eyes and I’ve had lumina which has been fantastic the way that they’ve done it. It’s a little bit painful so they give me a ball to hold and I really hold it. It’s just the little extra bits they do that no one else would probably think of. When I was leaving after I had my treatment on my eyes they gave me a card telling me what to do what not to do. They also put stickers on the card to show what I had done reference number of the batch I used. I think this is great, just in case there was some kind of reaction or something like that, which obviously there wasn’t, because they ask many medical questions before hand.
