LivingCare's sports X-ray services provide fast, accurate imaging for athletes, enabling timely diagnosis and treatment. Our expert team ensures a seamless process with rapid reporting.
A sports X-ray is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to examine bones and joints for injuries commonly sustained during physical activities. These can include fractures, dislocations, and other structural issues affecting an athlete's performance or recovery. X-rays are a non-invasive and quick way to provide clear skeletal system images, aiding in swift diagnosis and treatment planning.
Sports X-rays are invaluable for athletes of all levels, from professionals to recreational enthusiasts. They help ensure accurate diagnosis, enable timely intervention, and minimise downtime.
A sports X-ray uses a small dose of ionising radiation to capture detailed images of the bones and joints. The process involves:
The procedure typically takes only a few minutes and is painless, making it ideal for assessing acute sports injuries.
Sports X-rays are generally very safe. However, as with any procedure involving radiation, there is a minimal risk of exposure. LivingCare uses the lowest effective radiation dose to ensure patient safety.
As X-rays are non-invasive, no recovery period is required. Patients can usually resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. If the X-ray reveals an injury, your healthcare provider will guide you on the appropriate treatment and recovery plan.
