WRIST or HAND ULTRASOUND SCANS IN WEST WALES

 Wrist or hand pain that won’t settle? 

Struggling with long-term wrist or hand pain, stiffness, weakness, or reduced grip 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 wrist and hand structures in real time, helping to identify the underlying cause of symptoms and guide the most appropriate next steps.

A wrist or hand ultrasound scan provides a clear, dynamic view of the tendons, nerves, ligaments, 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.

Wrist and hand symptoms can be caused by tendon irritation, nerve compression, ligament sprains, joint inflammation and more. Ultrasound allows us to assess many structures in real-time, while you move the affected area, making it ideal for diagnosing soft tissue problems. 

If you’re experiencing pain, stiffness, weakness, or reduced grip strength, ultrasound can provide a clear diagnosis quickly and safely, without long waiting lists.
