Elbow & ARM ultrasound scan in West Wales

 Elbow and arm pain that won’t settle?

Struggling with long-term elbow or arm pain, stiffness, weakness, or reduced strength can be frustrating  - especially when symptoms persist despite rest or treatment. In some cases, a physical examination alone doesn’t fully explain what’s really going on. Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound allows us to look directly at the elbow and arm structures in real time, helping to identify the underlying cause of symptoms and guide the most appropriate next steps.

An elbow or arm ultrasound scan provides a clear, dynamic view of the tendons, muscles, ligaments, nerves, and surrounding soft tissues - helping you get quick answers and move forward with the right plan for recovery.

• Performed by a qualified musculoskeletal sonographer (PgC in Medical Ultrasound)
• Hospital-grade imaging system (Samsung RS80A)
• Full report usually within 48 hours
• No referral needed (referrals are also accepted)
• Includes clinical consultation and explanation of findings 
• Safe, comfortable & free from ionizing radiation

Book your scan today - appointments usually available within days.

Elbow pain is extremely common and can result from tendon irritation (tennis or golfer’s elbow), bursitis or inflammation, ligament or tendon injuries, joint swelling or weakness or post-surgical monitoring. Ultrasound scanning provides accurate diagnostic information which physical examination alone sometimes cannot achieve. This added information allows us to make the right treatment decisions from the outset of care.
 

If you have pain when gripping, lifting, or bending your elbow, stiffness, or swelling, a diagnostic ultrasound scan can give you quick, clear answers and guide the right next steps.

• Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)

• Post-injury pain or weakness
