Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (MSKUS)
See More. Understand Better. Treat Smarter.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and other soft tissues in the body. At Abano Therapy, we believe effective physical therapy begins with understanding the source of your problem—not simply treating the area where you feel pain. Our goal is simple: Find the root of the problem, restore your function, and help you get back to the activities you love.
Why Is MSK Ultrasound Beneficial?
Pain can be complicated. Two people may experience similar symptoms but have different underlying issues. Even within the same person, several structures may contribute to pain or movement limitations.
MSK ultrasound can help us look beyond symptoms and gather additional information to guide your care.
