Shoulder & Upper Arm Ultrasound
A Shoulder & Upper Arm Ultrasound is a safe and accurate way to examine the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints in this area. It is highly effective in detecting the causes of pain, stiffness, swelling, or limited movement, and helps diagnose common conditions such as rotator cuff tears, bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, or fluid build-up.

Unilateral vs. Bilateral Scan
Unilateral Scan: Focuses on one shoulder and upper arm if you have pain or symptoms on one side.
Bilateral Scan: Examines both shoulders and upper arms, ideal if you have symptoms on both sides or want a comparative assessment.
