Knee & Lower Leg ultrasound scans in West Wales

Knee or lower leg pain that won’t settle?

Struggling with ongoing knee or lower leg pain, swelling, stiffness, a feeling of instability, or a recent injury 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 soft tissues around the knee and legs in real time, helping to identify the underlying cause of symptoms and guide the most appropriate next steps.

A knee or leg ultrasound scan provides a clear, dynamic view of the tendons, ligaments, muscles, bursae, and joint fluid - helping you get quick answers and move forward with the right plan for recovery.

What’s included in your knee or lower leg ultrasound scan?

• 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 ionising radiation

Knee or lower leg pain can be caused by many different soft-tissue issues, including tendon problems, ligament sprains, inflammation, bursitis, cysts, post-injury changes, or degenerative conditions. Ultrasound allows us to assess these structures dynamically - even while you move, giving an accurate view of what’s happening inside the area.

If you’re experiencing pain when walking, climbing stairs, squatting, or after sport, or if your knee feels swollen, unstable, or stiff, a diagnostic ultrasound may help give you fast and clear answers.
