When you see the word “ultrasound,” you probably think of a happy couple poring over a fresh sonogram with an image of their growing loved one. But did you know that ultrasound diagnostics can be used for much more than seeing babies in the womb? It’s also a powerful diagnostic tool that can pinpoint the exact source of your pain. By identifying the root cause, treatment can be tailored to heal you so you can return to living a pain-free life naturally.
How Does Ultrasound Diagnostics Work?
In basic terms, ultrasound diagnostics involve a noninvasive imaging test. High-frequency sound waves create real-time pictures or videos of internal organs and soft tissue. This allows healthcare professionals to see details in your body without invasive and painful incisions. Unlike CT scans and X-rays, ultrasound does not use radiation, which is known to have harmful effects.
During an ultrasound session, a healthcare professional uses a device called a transducer on the area being examined. A thin layer of gel is applied to your skin to help transmit high-frequency sound waves through the body.
These waves are then converted into electrical signals, creating a live image or video on a screen. You may already be familiar with the classic gray-and-black images often associated with sonograms.
Beyond Prenatal Care: Advanced Applications of Ultrasound Diagnostics
Ultrasound diagnostics is a versatile tool for evaluating and managing pain. It allows medical providers to examine your body in real time when you’re experiencing discomfort or when something isn’t functioning as it should. In most cases, the transducer is placed on the skin, but it may be used internally in certain scenarios. Areas commonly examined with ultrasound diagnostics include:
- Knees, shoulders, and ankles: for acute or chronic pain
- Pelvis: for closer looks at the bladder, ovaries, prostate, or surrounding organs
- Abdomen: for diagnosing abdominal discomfort
- Thyroid: for identifying nodules or measuring gland size
- Tendons, joints, and muscles: for guiding injections to treat pain
- And more
Because ultrasound diagnostics is so adaptable, it’s been used to identify a wide range of conditions, including:
- Damaged or torn soft tissue
- Inflammation
- Blood clots
- Kidney stones
- Tumors
- And more
With advancements in science, new uses for ultrasound diagnostics continue to emerge. For example, low-intensity ultrasound has been approved for accelerating fracture healing and treating low-complexity fractures. What new applications will researchers uncover next?
