Fibromyalgia is a complex disease characterized by a wide array of symptoms. Sufferers can experience chronic pain, joint problems, fatigue, insomnia, autoimmune disorders, and numerous other symptoms, often leading to a seriously reduced quality of life.
The cause of fibromyalgia is unclear and there’s no formally agreed upon diagnostic test. It’s typically used to explain a combination of co-existing illnesses, or as a ‘last resort’ diagnosis when all other options have been exhausted. Because of this, the disease is often misunderstood and even doubted within the medical industry, and reliable support can be hard to access.
Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasonography uses ultrasound technology to diagnose muscle, tendon, and ligament pain. Effective, affordable, safe, and painless, it has become a popular choice for both physicians and patients in recent years.
Ultrasonography involves using a microphone-like device called a transducer to send sound waves through the body. These waves are then reflected back, interpreted, and displayed on a monitor to give a detailed picture of the body’s internal anatomy. In the treatment of musculoskeletal pain, this technology is invaluable as a diagnostic tool. What’s more, MSK Ultrasound can be used for guidance to help doctors to perform treatment procedures that can take care of the conditions found.
