Ultrasonography of joints, muscles and tendons

Ultrasonography (USG) of the joints, muscles and tendons is a safe, painless and highly accurate diagnostic method that allows you to assess the structures of the musculoskeletal system - joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
The examination helps to detect inflammation, trauma, tears, fluid build-up in the joints or degenerative changes.

This diagnostic method is often used for sports injuries, sudden pain or movement restrictions, and to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
