Ultrasound Physiotherapy has been a trailblazer in integrating ‘point-of-care ultrasound’ (PoCUS) with physiotherapy assessment and treatment in Ireland. We are proud to be the first clinic in the country with Chartered Physiotherapists trained to sonographer-level standards, as outlined by BMUS (British Medical Ultrasound Society).
Ultrasound Physiotherapy recognizes the value of diagnostic ultrasound as a vital complement to traditional physiotherapy assessment and treatment. This advanced tool enables precise diagnosis of soft tissue injuries, enhancing the effectiveness of treatment and management across a broad spectrum of conditions.
Diagnostic ultrasound is a powerful tool for identifying and managing a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
Shoulder
Rotator cuff tendinopathy and tears
(incl. Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor and Subscapularis)
Biceps tenosynovitis
Biceps ruptures and tendinopathy
Acromioclavicular Joint Degeneration and Oedema
Subdeltoid subacromial Bursitis
Elbow
Tennis elbow
Golfer’s elbow
Biceps injuries
Triceps Tendon
Ulnar and Radial collateral strains
Bursitis
Ulnar Nerve
Wrist and Hand
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Ulnar nerve entrapment
Tendinopathy
De Quervains Tenosynovitis
Tendon tears
Hip
Tendinopathy
Bursitis
Joint effusion
Hip and thigh muscle strain
Knee
Patellar tendinopathy
Quadriceps tendinopathy
Tendon tears
Medial and lateral collateral ligament strains
Osteoarthritis
Bursitis
Joint effusions
Baker’s/popliteal cyst
Hamstring injuries
Hip and thigh muscle strain
Foot and Ankle
Ligament injuries
Tendinopathy
Bursitis
Morton’s neuroma
Plantar fasciitis
Tendon tears
Calf muscle strain
Proven Accuracy
Diagnostic ultrasound has been shown to be as accurate as MRI for many tendon injuries, as well as for numerous muscle and ligament injuries.
Additional Benefits
Nerve Impingement: Useful in identifying nerve compression or irritation.
Tissue Healing Monitoring: Allows real-time monitoring of healing in muscles and tendons.
Swelling Confirmation: Helps pinpoint areas of inflammation or fluid buildup.Enhanced Treatment with Ultrasound Guidance
At Ultrasound Physiotherapy, we also use diagnostic ultrasound to target treatments precisely, including ultrasound guided shockwave and dry needling.
Please note:
We do not offer ultrasound scans for the face, neck or spinal conditions (neck, ribs, sacroiliac joint (SIJ) and lower back).
We do not perform ultrasound scans for ‘lumps and bumps’, abdominal or pelvic pains, hernias, or vascular issues such as deep vein thrombosis (DVTs).
Diagnostic ultrasound is not able to visualise structures inside the joint e.g. cruciate ligaments within the knee.
