Thigh and hamstring pain is common, especially after sport, sudden overstretching, or overuse. Ultrasound shows muscles, tendons and soft tissue structures in high detail and in real time, allowing us to see tears, inflammation, fluid, scar tissue and healing stages.

If you’re experiencing sharp pain, a sudden “pull”, bruising, persistent tightness, loss of strength, or slow recovery after a strain, a diagnostic ultrasound can provide fast, accurate answers.

• Suspected hamstring tear
• Quadriceps muscle or tendon injury
• Soft tissue calcification
• Tendinopathy
• Persistent tightness or reduced power
• Haematoma
• Monitoring healing during rehabilitation

 Ultrasound is excellent for visualising soft tissues, but it cannot:

• See inside bone or assess bone marrow
• Detect deep joint surfaces or cartilage changes
• Assess high-grade tendon avulsions from the pelvis - MRI may be required
   

If we believe another test (MRI or X-ray) is more suitable, we’ll explain this clearly and can refer you to a trusted private provider.

 You can book directly – no referral needed. If you self-refer, we’ll begin with a new patient consultation to confirm ultrasound is suitable for your condition.

Your appointment includes:

• Clinical history and safety screening
• High-resolution diagnostic ultrasound of the thigh and/or hamstring
• Full written report, typically within 48 working hours
• Advice on next steps and referral options if required
   

Ultrasound is safe, comfortable, and ionizing radiation-free, and is particularly effective for muscle injuries

• Short waiting times
• Talk directly to a specialist before, during & after your scan
• GCC-registered clinician
• Experienced musculoskeletal sonographer with PgC in Medical Ultrasound
• Clinical report typically within 48-working hour
• Serving Tenby, Pembrokeshire & all of West Wales
   

We combine accurate diagnosis with clear guidance — so you know exactly what to do next.
