With MSK Ultrasound, we can visualize joint structures in real time. As the joint is in motion or at rest, we see a dynamic view of how your joint moves. We can even detect smalls tears in muscles, ligaments, and tendons that may be missed on MRI imaging. This also helps us understand any dysfunctional joint movement that can relate to pain without the use of radiation like x-ray or CT imaging. 

Dr. Romero offers in-office ultrasound guidance for joint injections as well as diagnostic ultrasound for musculoskeletal conditions. She works with a certified musculoskeletal sonographer, who is skilled in assessing and assisting in procedures related to musculoskeletal conditions. Ultrasound guided injections ensure that the treatment is precise and effective for the target area, so the patient can experience the best treatment outcome. Regenerative injection therapies, such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma), should be conducted under ultrasound guidance to ensure proper needle placement and accuracy.
