Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Mallorca
Musculoskeletal ultrasound in Palma de Mallorca: real-time imaging of tendons, ligaments, joints. Guided injections. Dr. Diedrich. Book now.
Equipment
Musculoskeletal ultrasound (sonography) is the most versatile diagnostic tool in orthopaedics. At our practice in Palma de Mallorca, we use high-resolution ultrasound equipment for real-time imaging of:
- Tendons — Tears, inflammation, calcification (rotator cuff, Achilles tendon, patellar tendon)
- Ligaments — Sprains, partial tears, instability
- Muscles — Fibre tears, haematomas, muscle hernias
- Joints — Effusions, synovitis, cartilage changes in superficial joints
- Bursae — Bursitis of the shoulder, hip, knee and elbow
- Nerves — Swelling of the median nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome
The decisive advantage: ultrasound shows structures in motion. Shoulder tendon impingement only becomes visible when the patient raises their arm — no MRI can achieve this.
The ultrasound examination at our practice in Palma de Mallorca is performed personally by Dr. Diedrich:
- History and clinical examination — Targeted questions and functional tests to narrow down the suspected diagnosis.
- Ultrasound examination — The high-resolution transducer is placed on the affected area. You see the image on the monitor in real time.
- Dynamic tests — The structure is examined in motion (e.g. shoulder during abduction, tendon under load).
- Side-to-side comparison — The healthy opposite side serves as a reference — particularly valuable for unclear findings.
- Consultation — Dr. Diedrich explains the images to you directly in English and recommends the appropriate therapy.
The examination takes 10-20 minutes and is completely painless and radiation-free. Where needed, an ultrasound-guided injection can be performed immediately afterwards.
Ultrasound-Guided Injections
A particular focus of our practice is ultrasound-guided injection technique. Dr. Diedrich sees the needle tip in real time on the monitor and places the medication with millimetre precision at the correct location. This technique is significantly superior to blind injection in both effectiveness and safety.
Applications
- PRP (platelet-rich plasma) — Platelet-rich plasma delivered directly to the damaged tendon or cartilage
- Hyaluronic acid — Joint lubrication for arthritis, precise intra-articular placement
- Cortisone — For acute inflammation, targeted at the bursa or tendon sheath
- Nerve blocks — Diagnostic and therapeutic injections at peripheral nerves
Diagnostics for Every Body Region
Once ultrasound confirms the diagnosis, treatment options range from guided injections to whole-body cryotherapy at -110°C for acute inflammation and pain relief. Ultrasound is used at our practice for virtually every body region. Whether shoulder, elbow, hand, knee or foot — high-resolution imaging delivers important information for treatment planning within minutes.
