Dr. Talkington has recently introduced MSK ultrasound into his practice.

Ultrasound transmits high-frequency sound pulses into your body using a probe. These waves travel between tissues and fluid and are then reflected back to the probe and relayed to the machine. Sound painful? Don’t worry, ultrasound is painless and there is no radiation involved. With this technology, patients are able to see their anatomy on the screen at the same time as the doctor, which allows them to become directly involved in their care. Although ultrasound is not always able to take the place for an MRI, ultrasound is faster, safer, and less expensive than an MRI.
