What is ULTRASOUND?
Ultrasound refers to sound waves above 20,000Hz. Physiotherapists use it to speed up tissue healing, treat chronic inflammation, and manage pain.
At Oakwood Physiotherapy & Wellness Centre, we specialise in diagnostic ultrasound to assess muscle, tendon, ligament, and joint issues. Over the past 15 years, advancements have made it a highly effective tool for sports injuries.
Today, ultrasound is often superior to MRI for diagnosing certain tendon, ligament, and muscle conditions.
How does it WORK?
Hyaluronic acid injections help treat osteoarthritis by reducing pain and improving joint function. They slow cartilage erosion, reduce fibrosis, and support normal movement, like walking or running.
Licensed for all joints (except the spine), they mimic synovial fluid, which depletes with age. Active individuals favour them for joint nourishment and lubrication.
One course offers relief for 9-12 months. Ostenil is widely used in Sports Medicine, including by UK premiership football, rugby, and cricket clubs, as well as the British Olympic Association.
