A nerve ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic tool used for visualizing nerves and surrounding tissues within your body. At Spashta Diagnostics, we use advanced ultrasound technology to help identify nerve-related issues or injuries in a safe and efficient manner.
Nerve ultrasound has several advantages over other imaging methods, such as MRI or CT scans:
Non-invasive: No needles or injections are involved.
Safe: No exposure to radiation
Affordable: Often more cost-effective than other imaging options
Quick: Results are typically available faster than with MRI or CT scans.
Nerve ultrasounds can be used to diagnose various conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, nerve entrapment, and peripheral neuropathies.
Some common reasons to undergo a nerve ultrasound include:
Assessing potential nerve damage or injury
Determining the cause of numbness, tingling, or weakness in limbs
Evaluating the severity of nerve compression syndromes like carpal tunnel syndrome
Monitoring recovery progress after treatments or surgeries
Our experienced team at Spashta Diagnostics will provide you with personalized care during your appointment.
During your nerve ultrasound scan at Spashta Diagnostics, our experts will gently apply a special gel on the skin surface above the area being examined. A small probe called a transducer is then moved over the targeted area, capturing images of nerves and surrounding tissues.
The entire process takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the examination. You can expect minimal discomfort and no downtime after the procedure.
If you’re experiencing nerve-related issues or have been recommended for a nerve ultrasound, contact Spashta Diagnostics to schedule an appointment. Our team of skilled professionals will provide you with the highest quality care and guide you through the entire process, ensuring your comfort and well-being.
