Knee Joint Ultrasound Scan in Manchester and Stockport
£120
At Sonoscan Healthcare, we provide professional and accurate knee joint ultrasound scans in Stockport and Manchester, helping to assess pain, swelling, or injury affecting the knee joint and the surrounding soft tissues.This non-invasive ultrasound scan plays an important role in identifying joint effusion (fluid on the knee), Baker’s cysts, tendon or ligament problems, bursitis, or soft tissue lumps that may be causing your symptoms.
What Is a Knee Joint Ultrasound Scan?
A knee joint ultrasound is a diagnostic scan that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the knee joint and the structures around it, including the tendons, ligaments, bursae, and joint capsule. It is painless, involves no radiation, and allows the sonographer to assess the knee dynamically, which can help identify the exact source of your symptoms.Why Might You Need a Knee Joint Scan?
Your GP or specialist may recommend a knee joint scan if you:
- Have persistent knee pain, tenderness, or stiffness
- Have swelling around the knee or notice a lump behind it, such as a Baker's cyst
- Are experiencing symptoms of tendinopathy or bursitis, such as pain when kneeling, climbing stairs, or after exercise
- Have suffered a sports injury, strain, or fall affecting the knee
- Have reduced range of movement or a feeling of the knee giving way
- Have a clicking, locking, or catching sensation in the joint
- Need to monitor a known knee joint or soft tissue condition
What Happens During a Knee Ultrasound?
You lie on a couch with the knee uncovered — shorts or loose trousers make this easier. The sonographer applies gel and moves a handheld probe around the front, sides and back of the knee, and may ask you to bend or straighten your leg. No preparation is needed and you can return to normal activities straight afterwards.Knee Joint Scan in Stockport & Greater Manchester
