Thigh & Hamstring ultrasound scans in West Wales

 Thigh or hamstring pain that won’t settle?

Struggling with long-term thigh pain, hamstring tightness, reduced power, or a recent muscle injury can be frustrating - especially when symptoms persist despite rest, rehabilitation, or modified training. 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 thigh and hamstring structures in real time, helping to identify the underlying cause of symptoms and guide the most appropriate next steps.

A thigh or hamstring ultrasound scan provides a clear, dynamic view of the muscles, tendons, myotendinous junctions, 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.

Thigh and hamstring pain is common, especially after sport, sudden overstretching, or overuse. Ultrasound shows muscles, tendons and soft tissue structures in high detail and in real time, allowing us to see tears, inflammation, fluid, scar tissue and healing stages.

If you’re experiencing sharp pain, a sudden “pull”, bruising, persistent tightness, loss of strength, or slow recovery after a strain, a diagnostic ultrasound can provide fast, accurate answers.

• Suspected hamstring tear
• Quadriceps muscle or tendon injury
