Private Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Scans in West Wales
Still no better after physio, rest, or medication?
If you've tried treatment but still don't know why you're in pain, diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound may help identify the underlying cause.
Ultrasound can often provide greater clarity regarding the likely source of your symptoms and help guide the most appropriate next steps.
We provide private musculoskeletal ultrasound scans to assess muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and soft tissues.
Private appointments usually available within days. No referral needed.

New to the clinic? What to expect
If you are new to the clinic, your first appointment starts with a consultation (£65). This allows us to understand your symptoms, determine whether ultrasound is appropriate, and identify the area that requires assessment.
In most cases, the scan can be carried out during the same appointment for the additional scan fee shown above.
Existing patients who have already been advised that they require a scan can usually book directly without an additional consultation.
Occasionally we may need to assess a small additional area during your appointment. This is not usually necessary, but if it is, we will always discuss this with you beforehand and agree any additional fee before proceeding.
Why Choose Us?
Appropriately qualified musculoskeletal ultrasound practitioner
Did you know, in the UK "sonographer" is not a protected title and ultrasound providers are not legally required to hold any specific qualification? That's why the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) and the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS) recommend practitioners working outside hospital radiology departments train through programmes accredited by CASE - the Consortium for the Accreditation of Sonographic Education (details here).
We hold a CASE-accredited Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Ultrasound - the benchmark qualification recognised in professional guidance from the RCR, the Society of Radiographers and BMUS.
Hospital-grade imaging quality
We use the Samsung RS80A – a premium ultrasound system comparable to those used in many NHS radiology and orthopaedic departments.This provides exceptionally clear diagnostic imaging and a level of image quality significantly beyond that of many basic portable scanners.
Musculoskeletal Specialist
Your scan is performed by an MSK specialist and not just a general sonographer technician, ensuring clinical accuracy, relevance to your condition, and meaningful guidance on what to do next. You can ask us all the questions you have at the appointment.
Referrals welcome
We accept referrals from healthcare professionals across West Wales and South Wales, including medical doctors, physiotherapists, podiatrists, osteopaths, chiropractors and registered nurses.
If you are being referred, please contact us before booking. We will require a written referral and can then advise on the most appropriate appointment type.
