Questions people often ask
Can ultrasound diagnose rotator cuff problems?
It can assess many rotator cuff tendon issues, but findings must be interpreted alongside symptoms and function.
Do tendon changes always cause pain?
No. Some scan findings are incidental, which is why assessment matters.
What happens after the scan?
You should leave with an explanation and a practical next step, not just a scan label.
