When you hear the word \u201cultrasound,\u201d what comes to mind? Probably an expecting mother hoping to get a peak at their child, right? While this is certainly the most well-known use of the technology, it is actually a mainstay in non-surgical orthopedics as well. With ultrasound, a doctor can diagnose certain injuries more accurately compared to an X-ray and then also use it to deliver treatment with extreme precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Diagnosing Injuries with Ultrasound<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you break a bone, what is the first thing the doctor is likely to do? Take an X-ray so they can get a look at the injury. While a static image is fine in this case, X-rays leave a lot to be desired when it comes to joint injuries. Often, the only way to tell what is causing the problem is to see the joint in motion, which is impossible with an X-ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But ultrasound allows the doctor to look \u201cunder the hood\u201d of a joint as a patient moves it. This will make it much more obvious whether someone\u2019s pain, stiffness, or swelling is due to a muscle, ligament, tendon, or cartilage problem. This leads to a more accurate diagnosis, which not only provides peace of mind for the patient, but also helps the doctor choose the right treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treating Injuries Using Ultrasound<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to treating joint injuries, the two main options are medication and surgery. But fortunately, regenerative medicine is able to offer an alternative in the form of therapeutic injections. This could involve injecting corticosteroids into the distressed joint to stop pain or something like prolotherapy or stem cells to encourage accelerated healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than just injecting a patient\u2019s joint and simply hoping <\/em>the medicinal substance goes where it is supposed to, a doctor can make sure with ultrasound. An ultrasound-guided injection allows them to see the needle within a patient so they can place the treatment right where it\u2019s needed. This way, nothing is wasted, and the patient gets the maximum effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answers and Solutions with Ultrasound<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a joint injury or pain and don\u2019t know what is causing it, ultrasound can help you finally get the answers you deserve. Then, it can also play a part in helping you feel better! Just look for a doctor that offers both diagnostic ultrasound as well as ultrasound-guided injections. This technology is amazing and has already been used to help countless patients across the world\u2014both those who are expecting and those who aren\u2019t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
