When you want to see how bad your ankle sprain is, you have a problem ahead of you. X-rays don't show muscle or ligament injuries. MRIs do, but they cost hundreds (if not thousands) and insurance won't approve it before you start treatment.
Now, doctors are using new ultrasound imaging to accurately diagnose muscle and ligament injuries.
-Ultrasound cost hundreds less than an MRI
-Is just as accurate as an MRI
-There are no cramped tubes
-Insurance covers it BEFORE you start treatment
