New Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound Service in Leeds
An extended diagnostic ultrasound service was formally launched at this is my: health screening and ultrasound centre by Leeds Carnegie professional rugby player Phil Nilsen.
Online, August 25, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Centre extended the range of services for diagnostic ultrasound imaging, as it noticed more requests for sports injuries and related muscular problems from people wanting faster appointment times than currently being offered by NHS.
After appointing experts in the musculoskeletal field it was decided to officially introduce this additional service with the added benefit of in-house physiotherapy services should the patient require a one stop service.
The Centre's MD, Judith Pilling (a clinical specialist) works alongside a team of experts. The new MSK team includes a clinical practitioner and MSK specialist, a physiotherapist, and an interventional radiologist. Phil was delighted to be asked to officially open the MSK and sports injury clinic, having had first hand experience of the Centre's ultrasound scanning facilities due to the pending arrival of a new addition to the family.
As Phil noted, "With NHS waiting lists increasing, sports people want a fast diagnosis to their problem. This direct access facility will allow them to get to the root of the problem quickly so that treatment to recovery time is speeded up. Many professional and social sports people and other active sports enthusiasts with injuries would simply not want to wait so long for an NHS appointment. A private provider, who you know you can trust, is the best answer. I am delighted with the care my wife and I have already received at this fantastic Centre in relation to the forthcoming birth of our baby. They have always been completely professional in everything they do, and I' m confident this additional service will be a complete success and I am happy to recommend them."
Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound is on the increase due to the high demand and the simplicity of being able to image superficial structures including muscles, ligaments and tendons. Ultrasound is the perfect cost effective solution to the diagnosis of most musculoskeletal problems.
