Ultrasound examination of the back
Ultrasound examination of the back is effective because it provides fast, safe, and detailed assessment of superficial structures such as muscles, tendon attachments, facet joints, and connective tissue—completely radiation-free. It is especially useful for detecting muscle or tendon injuries, inflammatory conditions, trigger points, or pain related to facet joints. It can also be performed dynamically, during movement, to identify functional issues that MRI may miss. Additionally, it is ideal for guiding precise injections into painful or inflamed areas.
