As places start opening up this summer, and outdoor excursions continue in full swing, we want to make sure you are able to enjoy all of your activities without pain. So, what happens if you do notice pain or discomfort occurring? It can sometimes be difficult to determine the exact cause of your pain, especially if you are moving around a lot. While this can prove to be challenging when determining the best course of treatment for unidentified pain, Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging (MSKUS) can help make the process much easier. MKSUS technology has been known to diagnose and treat a wide range of painful conditions, including, but not limited to: • Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis • Muscle spasms • Muscle strains and tears • Bone fractures While these are the most common conditions we diagnose, MSKUS technology can also help with other conditions, such as whiplash, phantom limb pain, dental pain, and even certain types of cancer. Has getting back into the gym led to an overuse injury? Are water sports resulting in shoulder strains? Did that one beach trip leave you feeling achy? Whatever the case may be, our innovative MSKUS technology can help identify the cause of your pain, so we can treat it as quickly as possible – and you can get right back to enjoying your summer activities!

Not only that, diagnostic testing can also help determine problem areas before a condition gets worse – so you won’t have to keep coming back to find the relief you need.
