Over the last several years the use of ultrasound in sports and Orthopaedic medicine has grown rapidly. When most people think of ultrasound, they immediately think of obstetricians looking at growing babies with fetal ultrasounds, or cardiologists doing echocardiograms to assess the heart. But cutting-edge sports medicine physicians are starting to use ultrasound to diagnose injuries and to guide injections to make them more accurate and effective.

At Village Osteopath we use musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) to help diagnose injuries to muscles, ligaments, and joints. Dr. Nall also performs injections under ultrasound guidance to help insure accurate needle placement and medication delivery. This improves both patient comfort and treatment efficacy. It also helps avoid placing the needle in nearby dangerous structures such as nerves, blood vessels, or other organs. We have extensive experience with ultrasound guidance, and we perform almost all of our injections under ultrasound.
