Why Choose This Scan?: If you’ve been experiencing shoulder pain, discomfort, or limited movement, the Shoulder Scan at UKSONO Healthcare is the ideal solution to identify potential injuries or inflammation. Whether from a sports injury, repetitive motion, or an unexplained ache, this scan helps pinpoint the cause, providing valuable insights for treatment or rehabilitation.
What Does This Scan Evaluate?:
- Rotator Cuff Tendons: The scan checks the health of the rotator cuff tendons, which are critical for shoulder movement and stability. Injuries to these tendons, such as tears or strains, are common causes of shoulder pain.
- Bursa: The scan assesses the bursa (fluid-filled sacs) around the shoulder, which can become inflamed and lead to conditions like bursitis.
- Joint Structures: The scan evaluates the overall condition of the shoulder joint, including cartilage, ligaments, and other soft tissues that contribute to mobility and function.
What to Expect During the Scan?: The Shoulder Scan is a quick, non-invasive procedure, typically lasting 15–20 minutes. Here’s what to expect:
- Dynamic Ultrasound Examination: The scan is performed using an ultrasound probe, which is gently moved over your shoulder area. To get a comprehensive view of the joint structures, you may be asked to move your shoulder during the procedure.
- Painless and Non-invasive: The scan is entirely pain-free, and there are no needles or injections involved. It’s a comfortable procedure with no recovery time needed.
How to Prepare for the Scan:
- No Special Preparation Needed: There are no special requirements for the Shoulder Scan. Simply arrive as you are, and the scan will be carried out efficiently and without any discomfort.
