Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Guidance

Regenerative medicine can help you avoid surgery and get back to the everyday activities you love – but only if it is employed correctly. Random injections of PRP and regenerative cells will not produce the results you’re looking for, which is why we use musculoskeletal ultrasound in our targeted approach to healing.

Can ultrasound help you live better?

Ultrasound Guidance for Regenerative Medicine

Let our expertise save you valuable time and money – and help you start living better, faster.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION

When it comes to regenerative medicine, particularly with PRP and regenerative cellular treatments, the precise placement of injections is vital to the healing process. The positive effects of supercharging your body’s natural healing response are minimized if that response isn’t accurately targeted to the location of your injury.

While you may equate the use of ultrasounds with pregnancy, ultrasound is extremely useful for imaging superficial musculoskeletal structures. Portable, noninvasive and painless, the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound technology helps us see the anatomic muscular structure, accurately diagnose your injury and precisely guide your treatment to all the right places.

Guided Ultrasound Diagnosis And Treatment

Musculoskeletal ultrasound can be an amazing diagnostic and needle-guiding tool. However, it requires skill and practice to be proficient at evaluation and interpretation. At the Albano Clinic, we have used this technology since 2006 and believe our ultrasound expertise sets us apart.

The following benefits are just a few reasons why we prefer using ultrasound guidance for diagnosis and treatment.

  • Noninvasive, painless and safe
  • No ionizing radiation (used in X-rays and CT scans)
  • Dynamic imaging that shows the real-time motion of tendons, muscles and joints
  • Much less expensive than other imaging options (MRIs and CTs)
  • Shows soft tissue very well
  • Can be used on patients with pacemakers or as an alternative for claustrophobic patients
  • Real-time imaging makes it the best tool for guiding injections and aspirations (withdrawing fluid)

Conditions That Benefit From Targeted Imaging

If you suffer from any of the following conditions, musculoskeletal ultrasound may be used for your diagnosis and treatment.

Muscle And Ligament Injuries

  • Chronic Strain or Sprain
  • Muscle Fibrosis (scarring)
  • Acute Strain or Sprain

Cysts

  • Baker’s Cyst (behind the knee)
  • Bleeding or other fluid collections within the muscles, bursae or joints

Tendon Injuries

  • Tendinosis and Tendon Tears
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Plantar Fasciosis
  • Rotator Cuff

Bone

  • Stress Fractures
  • Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints)

Joints

  • Cartilage Problems
  • Meniscal Tears

Nerves

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (wrist)
  • Cubital Tunnel syndrome (elbow)

Arthritis

  • Including early changes of arthritis

Sports and outdoor hobbies left me with two bad shoulders, two worse knees and an elbow that wouldn’t allow me to hold a drink. Being in my 40s seemed a little young to quit the activities that I lived for, but I also couldn’t enjoy them due to the pain. With the help of Dr. Albano and a lot of rehab, there isn’t anything on my list I avoid due to pain. During many of my outdoor activities, I often send him a picture from the side of a mountain or the middle of a river with the same caption, 'Thanks Doc.' ~ Chris Hakes

Targeted Injections Help Supercharge Your Body's Healing Process

Recognizing ultrasound technology’s potential diagnostic and needle-guidance benefits to regenerative medicine, Dr. Albano first started using musculoskeletal ultrasound in 2006. Today, he is a leader in the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound in regenerative medicine and has been teaching diagnostic and needle-guided applications of this technology at national conferences since 2008.
