The Orthohealing Center is leading the way in utilizing cutting edge technology with ultrasound to enhance patient care. Our Doctors have lectured and trained numerous specialists worldwide. Professional sports including most European soccer clubs and now the NBA are taking advantage of it’s many benefits. Ultrasound is utilized to diagnose tendons, ligaments, soft tissue & visualize abnormal fluid. It provides a cost effective, immediate, hands on analysis of the musculoskeletal system. Additionally our doctors use ultrasound with every injection to ensure accurate, efficient, and often less painful procedures.

NBA (National Basketball Association) now utilizes musculoskeletal ultrasound for diagnoses and treatment. Learn more.
