MSK Assessment & Scan
At The Joint Pain Clinic, we employ diagnostic MSK assessment and scans to evaluate various musculoskeletal disorders, such as frozen shoulder, trigger finger, knee arthritis, and plantar fasciitis. This technique helps pinpoint the origin of your pain, enabling us to create a personalized treatment plan whenever necessary. Our specialist musculoskeletal sonographers usually conduct the scans.
