Diagnostic Ultra sound is a very safe procedure that requires no radiation exposure.  It's benefits include:

• Allows both active and passive range of motion studies not possible through conventional MRI, CAT scans and x-rays.
• Can produce a faster and more accurate diagnosis, which can enable patients to benefit from more effective treatments and in some cases even avoid surgery.
• Also used in Ultrasound guided injections, which permits more accurate delivery through visualization of the injection site.
