Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Guidance

Targeted treatments. Faster results. Better healing.

When it comes to regenerative medicine, precision matters. Random injections of PRP or regenerative cells won’t deliver the results you’re looking for. That’s why we use musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-US) to see exactly where your injury is — and guide every injection with real-time accuracy.

Why Ultrasound Guidance Matters

PRP and regenerative cellular treatments work best when delivered directly to the injured tissue. MSK ultrasound ensures we can:

  • Diagnose injuries in real-time – visualize tendons, ligaments, joints, and nerves as they move

  • Guide injections with pinpoint accuracy – within 1mm of the target

  • Monitor your progress – so we can adapt treatment if needed

This means less guesswork, less wasted treatment, and a faster path to healing.

Benefits of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

✅ Noninvasive and painless
✅ Radiation-free (unlike X-ray or CT scans)
✅ Dynamic imaging shows movement in real time
✅ Lower cost than MRI or CT
✅ Safe for pacemaker patients and ideal for those with MRI anxiety
✅ Immediate results – no waiting for radiology reports

Conditions We Diagnose and Treat with Ultrasound

Muscle & Ligament Injuries

  • Chronic or acute sprains and strains

  • Muscle fibrosis (scarring)

  • Cysts or fluid collections

Tendon Injuries

  • Tendinosis or tendon tears

  • Rotator cuff injuries

  • Tennis elbow & golfer’s elbow

  • Plantar fasciosis

Bone & Joint Conditions

  • Stress fractures

  • Shin splints

  • Meniscal tears

  • Cartilage damage

  • Early arthritis changes

Nerve Entrapments

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Cubital tunnel syndrome

Why Our Expertise Sets Us Apart

Dr. Albano has been using musculoskeletal ultrasound since 2006 and has taught its diagnostic and needle-guided applications at national conferences since 2008. His experience allows us to make quicker, more accurate diagnoses and deliver more effective regenerative treatments.

“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. … 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.’”

A Smart Investment In My Health

Coming to Dr. Albano and investing the time and money into the treatment he recommended was a wonderful decision. The process of recovery was challenging at times, and I am still not able to do 100% of the physical activities that I would like to be doing, but I am seeing improvements every week. I have gained so much functionality in my knee and I am doing things with less pain and more confidence. I am so happy to found Dr. Albano and his team!

SI Dysfunction Recovery

After two years of SI problems, I had PRP and stem cell injections from Dr. Albano. Four months later, I feel great and am back to hiking and doing things I love without pain.

Dr. Albano and staff provide timely and excellent care. I would recommend the Albano Clinic to anyone seeking diagnosis, new treatment options or a second opinion.

Albano Clinic Is The Best

Dr. Albano has successfully repaired my meniscus through stem cell and PRP therapy. This has allowed me to continue to be a ski patroller.

A doctor I Trust

Dr. Albano is fantastic. As a physician, I am very picky as to who I would allow to perform procedures on me. And I trust Dr. Albano to treat my pain. Thanks Joe!

Bonnie D.

Living Pain Free

I am 6 weeks out from my PRP/stem cell treatment and have found so much improvement and less pain. Dr. Albano and his staff are so professional and explained everything to me. I was impressed with the ultrasound he gave me to determine just what my problem was. I would recommend the Albano Clinic to anyone who is looking for an alternative to surgery, cortisone injections, etc.

The Relief of a Full Recovery

I have been in some pretty intense pain with sciatica and a herniated disc. I came to Albano clinic and they got right on it for setting me up for full recovery. I have appreciated the personal touch and the feeling that my health and experience is very important to them. Dr. Joe, explains things clearly and really looks into getting you on the correct path for you, and not just a generic "fix-all" experience. His concern is that you are set on the right path to recovery...

Dr. Albano knows what's best!

Doctor Albano is quite sympathetic to my desires to keep my 50+ self going. I have been seeing him for nine year go and he has kept my bad hip, achilles(x2), elbow, shoulder and now knee in good enough condition to continue skiing and playing lacrosse. Very Good Doctor with great way about him.

Regenerative Medicine Works

Traditional medicine would have had me in invasive surgical procedures years ago! Thankfully I found Dr. Albano who has the experience to know that surgery isn't the first line of medicine.
