If you are experiencing knee pain, swelling, stiffness, or a sports injury, a diagnostic knee ultrasound scan can help identify the cause quickly and accurately.
At Physio Soton, we provide private knee ultrasound scans from our Eastleigh clinic, serving patients across Hampshire including Southampton, Winchester, Romsey, Chandler’s Ford and surrounding areas.
Ultrasound imaging allows us to assess soft tissue structures in the knee such as tendons, ligaments, bursae and joint fluid. It is a fast, safe and effective way to diagnose many common knee conditions without the need for a GP referral.
Our clinic also offers ultrasound-guided knee injections when clinically appropriate, allowing both diagnosis and treatment to be discussed in the same visit.
| Service | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation Only | Clinical assessment and prescription of exercises | £60 |
| Consultation + Knee Ultrasound Scan | Clinical assessment, ultrasound scan, prescription of exercises, and detailed report | £120 |

If you are experiencing knee pain, swelling, or a sports injury and would like a fast diagnosis, a private ultrasound scan can often provide answers quickly.
Ultrasound imaging is particularly effective for diagnosing soft tissue injuries and inflammation within the knee joint.
Common conditions we assess include:
Patellar tendon injuries
Quadriceps tendon problems
Baker’s cyst
Knee bursitis
Ligament injuries
Tendon inflammation (tendinopathy)
Fluid in the knee joint
Soft tissue swelling
Muscle tears around the knee
Because ultrasound provides real-time imaging, we can also assess how structures move during knee movement.
In some cases, treatment can be provided following your ultrasound scan.
Using ultrasound guidance allows injections to be delivered precisely to the affected structure, improving accuracy compared with non-guided injections.
Ultrasound-guided injections may be used to treat conditions such as:
Knee bursitis
Patellar tendon inflammation
Baker’s cyst
Joint inflammation
Persistent tendon pain around the knee
Because the injection is guided by real-time ultrasound imaging, the medication can be placed directly into the correct location, helping to maximise the benefit of treatment.
If an injection is appropriate for your condition, this will be discussed during your appointment and can often be arranged without needing to see another specialist.
A knee scan may be helpful if you are experiencing:
Persistent knee pain
Knee swelling
A sports injury
Clicking or locking in the knee
Pain when bending or straightening the knee
