Shoulder Scans and Knee Scans
Our most requested scans are shoulder scans and knee scans. A shoulder ultrasound scan can show rotator cuff tears, tendon problems, bursitis and calcium deposits. A knee ultrasound scan looks at the tendons, ligaments and soft tissue around the joint, including Baker’s cysts and patellar tendinopathy. Your scan is carried out and explained by Shane, an advanced practice physiotherapist and MSK sonographer, so you leave knowing what is going on and what happens next. Patients book shoulder and knee scans with us from Motherwell, Glasgow and across Lanarkshire.
What We Don’t Scan

- Abdominal region, including hernias

Injections We Offer
You may know these as cortisone injections, steroid injections or corticosteroid injections. They are different names for the same anti-inflammatory treatment. We also offer hyaluronic acid injections, including Ostenil Plus, for joint pain and arthritis. Every injection at Motherwell Physio is given under ultrasound guidance, so your clinician can see exactly where it needs to go.
- Aspirations (removal of fluid from joints, cysts and muscles)
- Corticosteroid / Cortisone injections for joint, tendon, bursitis and nerve pain
- Hyaluronic acid injections (Ostenil plus) for joint and tendon pain
- Barbotage
- Hydrodistension
- High-volume injections for Achilles and patellar tendinopathy
Ostenil Plus Injections
Ostenil Plus is a hyaluronic acid injection we use for knee, hip and other joint pain. Many patients ask for it by name. We will scan your joint at your consultation and talk through whether Ostenil Plus, another hyaluronic acid injection, a cortisone injection or another option suits you best. To compare the options in more detail, see our guide to hyaluronic acid vs corticosteroid injections.
