What it can feel like
Shoulder ultrasound may be considered for pain lifting the arm, night pain, weakness, painful arcs, suspected rotator cuff injury, bursitis-type symptoms or pain that is not improving.
Common causes
- Rotator cuff tendon irritation
- Possible tendon tear
- Subacromial bursitis
- Calcific tendon changes
- Persistent shoulder pain after injury
How we assess it
Assessment checks movement, strength, pain behaviour, injury history and whether ultrasound is likely to change the plan. The scan is then interpreted alongside your symptoms, not in isolation.
Treatment options
- Shoulder assessment
- Diagnostic shoulder ultrasound where appropriate
- Rotator cuff rehab guidance
- Injection or referral discussion if needed
- Clear next-step plan
Questions people often ask
Can ultrasound show a rotator cuff tear?
Ultrasound can assess rotator cuff tendons and may identify tears or tendon changes when performed for the right clinical question.
Is shoulder ultrasound better than MRI?
They answer different questions. Ultrasound is useful for many tendon and soft tissue problems, while MRI may be needed for deeper joint questions.
Should I book a scan or an assessment?
Choose the scan-only appointment if that is the service you need. If you need help deciding what is causing the problem and what to do next, compare the full MSK assessment options or call reception.
