What is it and what is it used for?
Ultrasound is an examination tool that uses sound waves and echoes to produce images of different tissues in the body. In combination with the scan, the therapist will always ask thoroughly about medical history and make a relevant clinical examination. Ultrasound is best suited for assessing damage to muscle, tendon or mucous sac, but can also in some cases give a good indication of the condition of the joint. The therapist will be able to compare with the healthy side and do scans later in the course of treatment to be able to measure progression and results.
Ultrasound vs. MRI/CT/X-ray
Each form of imaging has its strengths and weaknesses. Some of the strengths of ultrasound are i.a. a higher detail specific image production than e.g. MRI and will be able to produce higher resolution images in superficial structures. It is also the only image examination that can be done with movement of joints and muscles while examining.
Ultrasound can not see through the skeleton, so if you want to assess the condition inside the joints or spine, it will be more appropriate with MRI. X-rays are often preferred in case of suspected fractures, but p.g.a. the high resolution of ultrasound, some fractures, especially stress fractures (fatigue fractures), can also be detected with ultrasound.
A big advantage of ultrasound is also the availability. Where MRI has a potential queue and waiting list, ultrasound can be done during the day.

Is ultrasound dangerous/harmful?
Unlike X-rays and CT which use radiation, ultrasound uses only sound waves. These are the same ones that examine the fetus when you are pregnant and are completely harmless and without side effects.
