Ultrasound

Do you want a clear diagnosis of your complaint? Ultrasound offers a solution. Ultrasound is an addition to the physiotherapeutic examination to make a clear(er) diagnosis. It is also used when physiotherapeutic treatments do not have the desired result.

What is ultrasound suitable for?

A well-known ultrasound is the pregnancy ultrasound. However, ultrasound can also visualize muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments. For pain complaints from these tissues, ultrasound is increasingly used instead of X-ray or MRI. Ultrasound is particularly suitable for superficial disorders. For example
bursitis or tendon complaints of the shoulder, ultrasound is indispensable.
