Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and Ultrasound Guided Injections can help to both diagnose and treat and wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.
Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
A non invasive scan of a muscle, joint or tendon. This scan can give real time visualization to give an accurate evaluation of the area of pain and to aid in a precise diagnosis.
Ultrasound Guided Injections
A minimally invasive injection of either a corticosteroid or sodium hyaluronate gel. Our specialist will be guided by ultrasound to accurately give the injection to provide pain relief, reduce inflammation or stimulate the bodies natural healing processes. Injection therapy for muscle, tendon and joint conditions is significantly more effective but also generally safer than taking anti-inflammation medication by mouth.
There is no need for a prior medical referral for an appointment for an Ultrasound scan or Ultrasound Guided Injection. If you are in current treatment at reCentre, please discuss this option with your practitioner.
To book call our reception team on 020 8672 4455 or email us on info@recentre-health.co.uk to book either a scan or an injection, all appointment lengths are 30 minutes. Appointments are available on Thursday mornings in our Therapy Rooms Clinic location at 246 Balham High Road, SW17 7AW
Our specialist will go through a full safety questionnaire prior to discussing what is best for your individual condition prior to any scan or injection.
