Ultrasound

An ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to create a live image of the patient's body.  It is safe for kids, adults, and seniors; it is safe if you have an implant or if you are pregnant. There is no radiation either. The ultrasound allows the provider to diagnose the causes of pain, swelling and infection in the body's internal organs.

OSS offers two types of ultrasounds:

  • Musculoskeletal ultrasound
  • Full body sonogram
