Musculoskeletal (MSK) Diagnostic Ultrasound in Evansville

Accurate, Non-Invasive Imaging for Clear Answers and Better Treatment

Living with joint pain, muscle strains, or stubborn tendon issues can slow you down and make everyday activities feel like a challenge. At Core Physical Therapy in Evansville, we believe you deserve fast, precise answers — so your recovery can move forward with confidence.

That’s why we now offer Musculoskeletal (MSK) Diagnostic Ultrasound, an advanced, radiation-free imaging tool that gives us real-time insight into what’s causing your pain. With clearer information, we can provide more targeted treatment and help you return to what you love sooner.

Who Can Benefit From MSK Ultrasound?

MSK ultrasound is ideal for anyone who needs a more detailed look at joint, muscle, or tendon problems — without the wait, cost, or discomfort of other imaging tests. It’s especially helpful for:

• Athletes monitoring or recovering from sports injuries
• Older adults experiencing arthritis or chronic joint pain
• Anyone with unexplained musculoskeletal discomfort
• Patients who need precise imaging to guide their treatment plan

If you’re dealing with pain, swelling, limited movement, or a lingering injury, MSK ultrasound can provide the answers you’ve been missing.

Why MSK Ultrasound Matters

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. With MSK ultrasound, we can see inside your body in real time — pinpointing the exact structure causing pain or dysfunction.

This means:

• Faster answers
• More personalized treatment
• Better long-term outcomes
• Quicker return to normal activity

When you know what’s wrong, you can finally take the right steps toward feeling better.

What MSK Ultrasound Helps Us Assess

1. Joint Assessment

We capture high-resolution images of your joints to evaluate inflammation, arthritis, effusion (fluid), and other issues affecting mobility and comfort.

2. Muscle & Soft Tissue Imaging

Ultrasound allows us to visualize muscles, ligaments, and fascia — helping us detect strains, tears, or structural abnormalities.

3. Tendon Integrity Evaluation

We assess tendon thickness, inflammation, degeneration, and movement, essential for diagnosing conditions like tendinopathy or tendonitis.

4. Bursae Examination

Bursitis is a common cause of joint pain. Ultrasound helps us identify swelling or irritation within these fluid-filled sacs.

5. Dynamic, Real-Time Imaging

Unlike static scans, MSK ultrasound shows how your tissues move. This gives us valuable insight into functional problems contributing to pain.
