Understanding Tendon Imaging
Tennis elbow is a common overuse injury affecting athletes in tennis, baseball, and weightlifting. Ultrasound provides real time visualization of tendon fibers, detecting tears, inflammation, and calcifications. Its dynamic capability helps assess tendon movement during gripping.
Why Ultrasound Is Preferred
It is fast, portable, and cost effective, making it ideal for both clinic and sideline evaluations.
Guiding Treatment
Ultrasound helps guide injections and monitor healing progress.
Preventing Chronic Pain
Early imaging supports targeted therapy that prevents long term disability.
