Private Hip Ultrasound in Stockport & Manchester
£120
At Sonoscan Healthcare, we provide professional and accurate hip joint ultrasound scans in Stockport and Manchester, helping to assess pain, swelling, or injury affecting the hip joint and the soft tissues around it.This non-invasive ultrasound scan plays an important role in identifying joint effusion (fluid in the joint), tendon problems, bursitis, muscle injuries, or soft tissue lumps that may be causing your symptoms.
What Is a Hip Joint Ultrasound Scan?
A hip joint ultrasound is a diagnostic scan that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the hip joint and surrounding structures, including the joint capsule, tendons, muscles, and bursae. It is painless, involves no radiation, and allows the sonographer to assess the area while you move, which can help pinpoint the source of your symptoms.Why Might You Need a Hip Joint Scan?
Your GP or specialist may recommend a hip joint scan if you:
- Have persistent hip, groin, or outer thigh pain
- Experience a clicking, snapping, or catching sensation in the hip
- Have swelling or a noticeable lump around the hip
- Are experiencing symptoms of bursitis or tendinopathy, such as pain when lying on your side or climbing stairs
- Have suffered a sports injury, strain, or fall affecting the hip
- Have reduced range of movement or stiffness in the hip joint
- Need to monitor a known hip joint or soft tissue condition
What Happens During a Hip Ultrasound?
You lie on a couch, usually on your back or side, with the hip area uncovered — loose clothing or shorts make this easier. The sonographer applies gel and moves a handheld probe over the front and side of the hip, and may ask you to move your leg to check for snapping tendons. No preparation is needed and you can return to normal activities straight afterwards.Hip Joint Scan in Stockport & Greater Manchester
