Diagnostic Imaging

At Mode Physiotherapy, we pride ourselves on offering advanced diagnostic imaging as part of our comprehensive physiotherapy assessments. Located in Woodborough and serving surrounding areas such as Calverton, Burton Joyce, Southwell, Mapperley, Arnold, Gedling, and Nottingham, our clinic combines expert clinical care with real-time imaging to deliver faster, more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.

Whether you’re dealing with a soft tissue injury, persistent pain, or considering guided injection therapy, our diagnostic imaging service helps us see beneath the surface—right there in the clinic.

What Is Diagnostic Imaging in Physiotherapy?

Diagnostic imaging refers to the use of tools such as ultrasound, MRI, and X-ray to view internal structures like muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. At Mode Physiotherapy, we offer on-site ultrasound imaging as part of a physiotherapy assessment, allowing us to scan and assess soft tissue injuries in real time.

This technology enables us to:

• Visualise tendon injuries
• Identify bursitis and muscle tears
• Assess joint inflammation
• Guide injection therapy
• Confirm or refine clinical diagnoses

Unlike traditional imaging that often requires external referrals and long wait times, our in-clinic ultrasound provides immediate feedback, helping you understand your condition and begin treatment without delay.

Real-Time Imaging with Expert Guidance

One of the key benefits of our ultrasound diagnostic imaging service is that it’s performed in real time, during your physiotherapy session. You’ll be able to view the images on screen as your clinician performs the scan. Our experienced physiotherapists will talk you through the findings, explain what they mean, and use the results to formulate a personalised treatment plan.

This collaborative approach ensures:

• Clear understanding of your diagnosis
• Immediate feedback and reassurance
• Faster decision-making for treatment
• A more engaging and informed experience

Our clinicians have extensive experience working in specialist clinical settings where imaging is used regularly. They are well-equipped to advise you not only when a scan is helpful—but also when it may not be necessary.

When Is Imaging Useful?

While many musculoskeletal conditions can be diagnosed through clinical examination alone, imaging can be particularly helpful in more complex cases or when considering further interventions. We use diagnostic imaging to support the diagnosis and management of conditions such as:

• Tendon injuries (e.g. rotator cuff, Achilles tendinopathy)
• Bursitis
• Muscle injuries (strains, tears, contusions)
• Sports injuries
• Chronic pain conditions
• Joint inflammation

Imaging is also essential when planning guided injection therapy, ensuring precise delivery of medication to the affected area.

Guided Injection Therapy

For patients requiring corticosteroid or other therapeutic injections, ultrasound guidance ensures the medication is delivered exactly where it’s needed. This improves outcomes, reduces discomfort, and enhances safety. Our clinicians are trained in image-guided procedures and will walk you through the process with care and clarity.

MRI Referrals and Comprehensive Packages

In addition to ultrasound, we offer MRI referral packages through our trusted network of imaging providers. These packages include a full physiotherapy assessment, referral for MRI imaging, and a follow-up session to discuss the findings and develop a tailored treatment plan.

This integrated approach allows us to:

• Diagnose accurately
• Treat effectively
• Monitor progress
• Adjust treatment as needed

Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or preparing for surgery, our physiotherapy assessments with imaging provide the clarity and confidence you need.
