Ultrasound is an imaging test that is used to investigate the cause of pain in, for example, tendons, muscles and ligaments. The sonographers within Richard Smith Physiotherapy use this technique to perform additional research in addition to the regular examination. Using ultrasound, the physiotherapist can quickly and clearly determine what is causing your pain and where the cause is.
