At Luckhurst Injury Clinic, we offer cutting-edge diagnostic ultrasound services, utilizing point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to enhance our physiotherapy assessments and treatments. This technique allows for a detailed and accurate diagnosis of soft tissue injuries, helping us tailor the best treatment plans for various conditions.

Tendon injuries, bursitis, Morton’s neuroma, plantar fasciitis
Patella tendinopathy, osteoarthritis, hamstring injuries, joint effusions

Our clinic has a strong reputation for integrating diagnostic ultrasound into physiotherapy practice. The scan’s precision is comparable to MRI, particularly for tendon and soft tissue injuries, and it helps us assess healing and monitor conditions like nerve impingement. We also use ultrasound to guide treatments such as dry needling, shockwave therapy, and injections.
If you would like ultrasound as part of your physiotherapy assessment, simply request it when booking your appointment.
Diagnostic ultrasound is an invaluable tool that has gained widespread use among physiotherapists, sports doctors, and orthopaedic surgeons. It plays a key role in ensuring a precise diagnosis during your initial assessment.
Modern ultrasound technology offers diagnostic accuracy on par with MRI for many conditions, ensuring a thorough and reliable assessment.
As a non-invasive and painless procedure, ultrasound involves no radiation, making it a safe choice for all patients.
Ultrasound provides immediate results, allowing us to combine the scan findings with your physical assessment for a comprehensive evaluation.
We can perform scans while you move, enabling us to assess your condition during functional movements and compare with your asymptomatic side for better insights.
Ultrasound allows for sequential assessments, helping us track the healing progress of injuries such as muscle tears over time.
It can also be used to guide injections, including steroid, hyaluronic acid, or PRP, ensuring precise delivery to the affected area.
Ultrasound is a more affordable option compared to many alternative imaging methods, making it a great value for high-quality diagnostic care.
At Luckhurst Injury Clinic, we are proud to integrate diagnostic ultrasound into our assessments, ensuring accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans for our patients.
