How can ultrasound help your diagnosis?
- Real-Time Dynamic Testing: Evaluates tendon snapping, nerve entrapment, and joint instability during actual physical movement.
- Immediate Answers: Eliminates long waiting periods for MRI approvals and reports; your doctor interprets results during your visit.
- Radiation-Free & Safe: Uses harmless sound waves with zero radiation exposure, making it safe for repeated use.
- Pinpoint Accuracy: Detects subtle micro-tears, fluid buildup, bursitis, and early tendon degeneration missed by static scans.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You are an ideal candidate if you:
- Suffer from joint, tendon, or muscle pain that only occurs during specific movements.
- Cannot undergo an MRI due to claustrophobia, metal implants, pacemakers, or surgical hardware.
- Want an immediate, clear diagnosis during your clinical consultation without extra imaging appointments.
your physician will help decide if a diagnostic ultrasound is right for you
Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
Diagnostic Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound is an advanced, non-invasive imaging technology that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture real-time, high-resolution moving pictures of your joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and peripheral nerves. Unlike static X-rays or standard MRIs, MSK ultrasound allows your specialist to examine your tissues in motion while you flex, extend, or pinpoint your exact area of pain.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Preparation: No special preparation or fasting is required. Our physicians will help determine if a Musculoskeletal Diagnostic Ultrasound is necessary for your condition.
- During the Exam: A clear gel is applied to the skin over the painful area. Your physician glides a small probe (transducer) over the area, asking you to move your joint or muscle to observe how your tissues interact in real time.
- Duration: Typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will review the visual results directly on screen with your doctor before leaving the office.

Endurance Athlete Medicine
Performance & Overuse Care for Runners, Cyclists, and Triathletes
Endurance injuries stem from repetitive microtrauma, rapid training load spikes, and subtle biomechanical inefficiencies. Unlike contact trauma, endurance conditions require addressing the underlying root cause of mechanical breakdown so you can train consistently without chronic pain.
Diagnostic & Treatment Solutions
We partner with local runners, cyclists, and triathletes to keep them training safely:
- High-Resolution Ultrasound: Detecting early tendon degeneration, bursitis, and fluid collection before a partial tear occurs.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Stimulating natural healing in chronic, stubborn tendinopathies without requiring months of complete rest.
- Load Management Guidance: Helping you adjust training volume safely while incorporating cross-training to preserve aerobic cardiovascular fitness.
Don't wait for pain to dictate your lifestyle.
What are the Common Symptoms & Root Causes of Overuse Injuries?
- Symptoms: Aching pain during long runs or rides, persistent tendon stiffness, focal bone tenderness, chronic muscle tightness, and declining performance.
- Causes: Rapid mileage or elevation spikes, improper bike fit or footwear, glute/core weakness, and high-volume training on steep terrain across the Wasatch region.
When should i seek Endurance care?
- Performance Limits: You experience recurring pain limiting your running mileage, cycling wattage, or swimming endurance.
- Race Preparation: You are training for an upcoming marathon, ultra, or triathlon and need to resolve nagging overuse pain.
- Recurrent Setbacks: You suffer from the same seasonal overuse injuries year after year.
