Integrated Ultrasound Imaging and Osteopathic Practice.

We utilise point of care ultrasound imaging in clinical practice

How It Works

Diagnostic ultrasound uses safe and non invasive sound waves to create real time images of the body’s soft tissues. It allows the practitioner to examine muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and the outer surfaces of bones, while also observing how some structures move during the assessment.

The scan is considered alongside your symptoms, medical history and osteopathic examination. This additional information can help clarify what may be contributing to pain or restricted movement and supports a more informed clinical diagnosis and treatment plan.

Your findings are explained during the appointment, giving you a clearer understanding of what has been seen and the appropriate next steps. Where necessary, we can recommend targeted care, rehabilitation or referral for further investigation.

01

Precision and timely referrals

Numerous common musculoskeletal issues such as tendinopathy, rotator cuff tears, osteoarthritis, and muscle injuries exhibit distinct and recognisable patterns on ultrasound imaging. We harness these advanced ultrasound capabilities to ensure that your osteopathic diagnosis and treatment are as precise and well informed as possible. This thorough methodology also enables us to provide timely referrals to other healthcare practitioners when necessary for further evaluation or treatment.

02

Specialist expertise and individual care

Our skilled practitioners hold certification from the Global Ultrasound Institute in specialised musculoskeletal sonography techniques. We leverage the insights obtained from integrated sonography, in conjunction with a comprehensive osteopathic assessment. This along with an extensive case history enables us to develop a customised treatment plan specifically designed around your unique needs.
