MSK Diagnostic Ultrasound for Recovery Support
At Liverpool Central Physio, we believe in providing you with the most accurate and effective care possible. That’s why we utilise MSK (musculoskeletal) diagnostic ultrasound scan as a key tool in understanding your condition.
Imagine being able to see exactly what’s happening inside your body – not just relying on guesswork, but having a clear, visual confirmation of your musculoskeletal issue. This means you get answers quicker, often in the same appointment, relieving the anxiety and uncertainty that comes with not knowing what’s causing your shoulder pain, knee pain, or sports injury.
You can also avoid the long NHS waiting times common for imaging in the Liverpool area. The ultrasound scan is a safe, non-invasive, and non-harmful process, using sound waves to create detailed images without any radiation. Plus, the quick scan times provide improved comfort during your assessment.

Shoulder Problems
Such as rotator cuff tears, tendinopathy (e.g., shoulder tendonitis), and bursitis.
Knee Issues
Including ligament sprains (like MCL strains), patellar tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee), and bursitis.
Muscle Strains
From hamstring or calf (soleus) strains to other muscle injuries anywhere in the body.
General Tendinopathy and Bursitis
Affecting various joints like the elbow (tennis/golfer’s elbow), hip, and ankle.
By seeing these issues in detail, we can get you on the right path to recovery faster and get back to what you love doing, here at Liverpool Central Physio.
