Assess
Our Ultrasound Specialist, Sergio, will complete a normal physiotherapy assessment. The advantage of ultrasound is that he can use the system effectively to obtain a view of the musculoskeletal system and assist in assessing the muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons. This can be used, along side your traditional physiotherapy assessment, to build an improved picture of the diagnosis (what is causing your pain and current tissues involved) and allow him to build a better management pathway for your recovery.
Musculoskeletal Treatment
With a thorough understanding of your diagnosis, Sergio can discuss the best plan to move forwards. With the advantage of the ultrasound assessment alongside the musculoskeletal assessment you treatment plan can be outlined.
If Sergio feels you need further investigations or management with a consultant we can refer you to one of our trusted consultants for further management planning.
In most cases however you will be cleared to begin your physiotherapy treatment, with the extra confidence in the treatment plan.
Monitoring & Re-Assessment
The wonderful part of ultrasound assessment is that it is all recorded through pictures from the unit so they can be re-assessed. This will allow Sergio to monitor your progress, allowing controlled loading and return to activity knowing the tissues are ready for more tissue tolerance building.
This will give you the confidence to move forwards with your treatment knowing that you are ready for the next phase of your recovery.
Return to Activity
The key to any injury recovery & rehabilitation programme is to get you back and exercising safely and confidently again. As your physiotherapy programme progresses and you move from ‘Remove Your Pain’ into ‘Build Your Foundation’, Sergio will work with you to make sure you can adapt back into your normal activities again.
This is an exciting stage of the rehabilitation process as you can really feel your progress speeding up as you load the tissues and target the muscle restrictions and weaknesses that are holding you back.
Further
Information
Ultrasound imaging uses high frequency sound waves to bounce of the soft tissues. These bounce back to the hand held unit off the soft tissues, creating a picture of the ligaments, muscles and tendons. This will allow Sergio to evaluate the integrity of the tissues and help plan the best course of management for your condition.
A musculoskeletal ultrasound is completed by a specially trained clinician, at Body Logic Health this is currently Sergio Gutierrez. Who has completed his training in Spain and is now using the Clarius Scanner L15, which is one of the new modern handheld devices, that gives pictures back to an iPad.
The wonderful part of an MSK ultrasound is that it is available to anyone, if you have a ligament, muscle or tendon issue and are concerned about your progress then an ultrasound assessment, along with your physiotherapy assessment can help build a clear diagnosis and pathway to get you back to the activities you enjoy the most.
These images can then be saved to allow the ultrasound specialist to monitor tissues changes over time and help improve your rehabilitation process.
Soft tissue injuries can be complex at times, especially if there are underlying chronic issues involved. This can mean that more often than not there are more than one soft tissue involved, so an ultrasound can help to move you forwards in terms of your diagnosis and managment plan.
Although ultrasound is a fantastic way to assess soft tissues, it is generally better for superficial issues. As a result it might not pick up everything that is causing issues, and certainly there are some structures you cannot see through, primarily bone. This may mean that you need further investigations to ascertain certain injuries. The wonderful team of consultants that we work with can help, should they be required to obtain the answers needed to get the right plan in place.
The good news for you, as a customer, is that Sergio can help get you to a clearer understanding of your underlying issues, if there is other tissue or tendon damage that needs to be taken into account as part of your management plan. This all helps to get you to a better place more effectively.
