Private Elbow & Forearm Ultrasound

You may benefit from an ultrasound if you experience:

• Persistent elbow or forearm pain
• Swelling or tenderness
• Weakness or restricted movement
• Clicking or locking sensations
• Numbness or tingling
• Lumps or visible swelling

Ultrasound helps pinpoint the cause and guides further treatment such as physiotherapy, injections, or orthopaedic referral.

• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
• Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
• Bursitis
• Muscle or tendon tears
• Tendinopathy
• Nerve entrapment or carpal tunnel involvement
• Joint degeneration or arthritis
• Soft tissue cysts or lipomas

No preparation is required.

• Wear loose clothing to allow easy access to your arm.
• Remove watches or bracelets before the scan.

The scan is painless and typically takes 15–30 minutes.

You’ll sit or lie comfortably while a small amount of gel is applied to the elbow and forearm.
A handheld probe is moved gently over the area to capture real-time images.
The scan is completely non-invasive and radiation-free.

Book a scan or consultation if you notice:

• Ongoing elbow or forearm aches
• Swelling or a lump that doesn’t improve
• Reduced mobility or stiffness
• Pain after injury or repetitive strain
• Weakness or numbness spreading to your hand or wrist

Prompt assessment ensures early treatment and prevents further injury.

No. Ultrasound is entirely safe, painless, and free from radiation.
It’s the preferred imaging method for diagnosing soft tissue and joint-related problems.

If your scan detects a structural issue, your doctor will explain your results in detail and recommend next steps — such as:

• Referral for physiotherapy
• Further imaging (e.g. MRI)
• Specialist orthopaedic consultation
• Targeted treatment or injection therapy
