When I am deciding whether PRP, BMAC, or microfat makes sense for your case, I am not guessing from symptoms alone.
Seeing, not guessing Diagnostic ultrasound happens in the exam room, during your visit. It shows the tendon structure, the joint lining, fluid, and the exact spot that is generating pain — in real time, and I can show you what I am seeing on the screen while we talk.
That matters because symptoms and structure are not the same thing. Two people can describe identical shoulder pain, and one has a tendinopathy that will respond beautifully to biologics while the other has a tear that no injection will fix. The treatment is not the variable that matters most. The diagnosis is.
What a surgical eye adds I have operated on thousands of these structures. I know what a rotator cuff looks like when it is salvageable with biologics, and I know what it looks like when it is not. That is a very different starting point than a provider whose entire frame of reference is the injection itself.
Precision at delivery Ultrasound also guides the injection itself. The difference between placing a biologic into the degenerative portion of a tendon and placing it nearby is the difference between treatment and expense. Accurate diagnosis, precise delivery, appropriate selection — results depend on all three.
