Accurate Diagnosis for Effective Treatment

Obtaining an accurate diagnosis is a critical first step in developing an effective treatment plan and reducing pain. At PhysiMed Health, we offer state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services to support precise assessment and timely care.

Using advanced digital X-ray and diagnostic ultrasound technology, we are able to capture high-quality images instantly and discuss the results with you during the same visit—allowing treatment to begin without unnecessary delays.

Digital X-Ray Services

Digital X-rays produce detailed still images—similar to photography—that allow our clinicians to view bones and surrounding soft tissues beneath the skin. This helps identify fractures, alignment issues, degeneration, and other abnormalities affecting the musculoskeletal system.

Our clinic uses the latest digital X-ray technology, offering several key advantages:

  • Faster image capture and results

  • High-resolution diagnostic quality

  • Reduced radiation exposure—up to 30% less than older systems

  • Improved comfort and efficiency

Modern digital imaging means less time waiting and more time focusing on your recovery.


Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging

Musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. It is commonly used to assess soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, tears, and inflammatory conditions.

Ultrasound is:

  • Safe and non-invasive

  • Free from ionising radiation

  • Highly effective for soft tissue assessment

Areas particularly well suited to diagnostic ultrasound include:

  • Shoulder

  • Elbow

  • Hand and wrist

  • Hip

  • Knee

  • Foot and ankle

A major advantage of ultrasound imaging is the ability to assess joints in motion, which often reveals issues not visible in static imaging. This dynamic assessment helps clearly identify the source of pain and track healing progress. Before-and-after imaging comparisons can also be made following treatment to evaluate recovery.

Integrated Imaging & Care

At PhysiMed Health, diagnostic imaging is fully integrated into your clinical assessment. Imaging results help guide accurate diagnosis, inform treatment planning, and ensure targeted care tailored to your condition.

Our goal is to provide clarity, confidence, and the right pathway to recovery from your very first visit.

Frequently asked questions

Dry Needling is a procedure whereby solid filament (acupuncture) needles are inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a myofascial triggerpoint. A myofascial triggerpoint (sometimes known as a knot) consists of multiple contraction knots, which are related to the production and maintenance of the pain cycle. The approach is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles which are not to be confused with the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique of acupuncture (Travell & Simons 1999).
Dry needling can be used for a variety of musculoskeletal problems. Muscles are thought to be a primary contributing factor to the symptoms. Conditions which respond to dry needling include, but are not limited to: • Headaches • Frozen Shoulder • Tennis elbow • Carpal tunnel syndrome • Golfer’s elbow • Buttock pain • Leg pain • Hamstring strains • Shin splints • Muscle Spasms • Fibromyalgia • Sciatic Pain • Hip Pain • Knee Pain • Repetitive Strain Injuries
A spasmed muscle becomes a damaged muscle. Spasm reduces blood flow in the muscle. This means less oxygen and nutrients to the muscle. Muscle fibres die off and get replaced by fibrous scar tissue. This in turn holds the muscle tight, prevents muscle metabolites from leaving the muscle and causes continued spasm and pain. Putting a needle into a spasmed muscle causes the muscle to relax, this can be seen with an electromyogram (EMG).
The insertion of the needle is typically not felt. During treatment, patients commonly experience heaviness in the limbs or a pleasant feeling of relaxation.
Yes, only sterile disposable needles are used.
More frequently, Dry Needling is needed at the beginning to help break the pain cycle then other treatment modalities are introduced.
