What a muscle & tendon ultrasound looks at

This scan assesses muscle and tendon injuries anywhere in the body, including tears, haematomas and scar tissue. It is a safe, painless scan that uses sound waves — no radiation — and is interpreted by an experienced clinician who provides a clear written report.

This scan assesses muscle and tendon injuries anywhere in the body, including tears, strains, haematomas and scar tissue, and is widely used for sports injuries. It is ideal for a pulled or torn muscle, a sports injury, persistent tendon pain, or monitoring healing after an injury. Ultrasound shows the injury dynamically as you contract the muscle and can grade a tear and track its recovery.

One flat fee. Every diagnostic ultrasound is the same price — we do not itemise or add a separate report fee. See our price list for the current fee.

How to prepare and what to expect

No preparation is needed. Wear clothing that allows access to the injured area. We may ask you to contract the muscle during the scan to assess the injury and any gap. Your scan takes around 15–30 minutes. During the scan a small amount of warm gel is applied and the probe is moved gently over the area. It is painless and there is no radiation. You will receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards, with clear advice on any next steps. We are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm, with same-day and walk-in appointments in Whitechapel, East London.

Muscle & Tendon Ultrasound — common questions

Can ultrasound grade a muscle tear?

Yes. Ultrasound shows the site and extent of a muscle tear, whether there is a haematoma, and can grade the injury — information that helps guide rehabilitation and return to sport.

Can you use ultrasound to monitor healing?

Yes. Because it is quick and radiation-free, ultrasound is ideal for repeat scans to track how a muscle or tendon injury is healing over time.

How much does a muscle & tendon ultrasound cost?

We charge one flat fee for any diagnostic ultrasound, with no itemising and no separate report fee. See our fees page for the current price.

Do I need a GP referral for a muscle & tendon ultrasound?

No referral is needed for most scans — you can book directly. A small number of specialist scans are done on referral; we will tell you clearly if that applies.

How long does the scan take and when do I get results?

Most scans take 15–30 minutes and you receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards.
