LivingCare offers precise sports ultrasound imaging for soft tissue injuries. With rapid results and expert care, we help athletes recover efficiently and return to their best.
A sports ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses sound waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It is a safe, non-invasive method for assessing injuries common in athletes, such as sprains, strains, and muscle tears.
Sports ultrasound is beneficial for athletes of all levels, providing real-time imaging to help with diagnosis and treatment planning. This allows for prompt and precise care, helping athletes return to their activities quickly.
A sports ultrasound involves the following steps:
The painless procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes and provides valuable insights into soft tissue health.
Sports ultrasounds are highly safe as they do not use radiation. The procedure is non-invasive and typically free from side effects. Rarely some patients may experience mild discomfort from the transducer's pressure.
As a non-invasive procedure, no recovery time is required. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately unless the ultrasound reveals an injury requiring further treatment. Your healthcare provider will offer guidance on any necessary follow-up steps or therapy.
