What is Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging?
Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound uses safe, radiation-free, high-frequency sound waves to produce images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and nerves. In physical therapy, it serves as an adjunct tool to:
- Visualize soft tissue mobility and restrictions
- Observe muscle firing patterns during movement or exercise
- Provide real-time feedback for better engagement
- Monitor tissue changes throughout the rehab process
- Support collaboration with your referring physician for diagnostic insight
