Ultrasound helps in diagnosis

Ultrasonography is a commonly used imaging method in medicine, which has gradually found its place in rehabilitation and physiotherapy. In physiotherapy care, it is now a valuable aid for better understanding the function of the musculoskeletal system and more effective management of therapy.

Examination and evaluation of the effect

Ultrasound examination allows us to "see beneath the surface". Visualization of individual structures of bones, joints, tendons, muscles, nerves and blood vessels in some cases helps us to create a more precise, targeted and effective therapy plan. In addition, it offers us the opportunity to check the condition of the mentioned structures and thus possibly verify the effect of the chosen therapeutic approach.

We most often use ultrasound examinations for:

Acute and chronic pain in muscles, tendons and joints (sports trauma, joint effusions, hematomas, ...)
Scars in soft tissues (e.g. scar condition after cesarean section, appendix, ...)
Diastasis and condition of abdominal and pelvic floor muscles in women (not only after childbirth)
Degenerative changes in joints and the surrounding area (osteophytes - calcification of tendons)
Degenerative changes in joints and the surrounding area (osteophytes - calcification of tendons)

It is important to mention that ultrasonography examination in physiotherapy does not replace a medical examination. In our facility, it is performed by a qualified physiotherapist and serves as a supportive tool for therapy, not as a substitute for diagnosis performed by a doctor. If a medical assessment or treatment is needed, the client is always referred to a collaborating doctor.
