Vitalscan offers the full complement of ultrasound-guided injections for precise, effective and affordable pain relief for musculoskeletal symptoms.
Ultrasound uses high intensity soundwaves from a handheld probe to create images of the inside of your body. It is often used to aid accurate diagnose and identify specific target sites for injection. During an injection, the ultrasound waves rebound from the needle as it progresses through the tissue to allow clear visualisation of the needle tip. This provides accurate and safe guidance to the target site, for injection of the medication.

Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition which affects red blood cells in which normal levels of haemoglobin (which is responsible for transporting oxygen around the body) are disrupted.
An iron profile blood test provides a detailed breakdown of your iron status to determine the cause.
Common symptoms of anaemia:
A fasting blood test that accurately assesses your levels of glucose, the body’s main source of energy. Glucose circulates throughout the body after being broken down from carbohydrates. Glucose is required by almost all of our cells in order to function properly. This test determines whether your blood glucose levels are within the normal range. This test is helpful in the diagnosis & monitoring of diabetes.
Haemoglobin A1C assesses your average blood sugar level over the last 3 months and is a key marker use to monitor diabetes.
Vitamin D regulates levels of calcium and phosphate which are nutrients that protect nourish the bones, teeth and muscles. It is crucial for maintaining healthy bones & the efficient glucose metabolism. Most of the body’s vitamin D comes from sunshine exposure and thus vitamin D deficiencies are much more common during the winter when there is less daylight.
Vitamin D can also be found through our diet in oily fish, red meat and eggs.
Cholesterol is vital for normal body function. Our bodies contain both good and bad cholesterol and a high level of cholesterol can contribute to an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Our comprehensive lipid profile which also includes a fasting level, assesses these levels and the ratio of good vs bad. It can aid your doctor in stratifying your risk for cardiovascular disease and provide key information to empower you to make any necessary lifestyle changes.
The liver is a vital organ and plays a major role in your overall heath. A healthy liver is important for your current and future wellbeing. Our liver function profile identifies any existing damage or disorder and can also be used to monitor response to existing treatment. The tests can help distinguish between different types of liver disorder and check the extent of liver damage.
The kidneys are vital in your overall health, filtering the blood and removing waste from the body. In addition to reabsorbing water, amino acids and glucose. The kidneys produce hormones that are implicit in blood pressure control, bone health and blood cell production. Our kidney function test demonstrates if your kidneys are functioning optimally. Specifically, the test evaluates your levels of creatinine, urea and can be used to assess for the presence of kidney diseases, infections, stones or cancers.
The thyroid gland is located in your neck and the hormones it produces are vital for metabolism and regulating overall energy levels. An imbalance of these hormones can cause a wide array of symptoms. These can be divided into those produced by an underactive thyroid (hypothyroid) or overactive thyroid (hyperthyroid).
Underactive thyroid (hypothyroid):
Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroid):
Our thyroid function test assesses the levels of thyroid hormone (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) and also thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Thyroid disorders are much more common in women.
Other thyroid disorders include:
Autoimmune conditions are those in which the body recognises its own cells as foreign and mounts a response against them. Such conditions include:
Our autoimmune screen detects the presence of chemicals (antibodies and antigens) which can be indicators for certain disorders.
“The importance of regular blood testing cannot be overstated. Your blood test allows for the early detection of potentially life threatening health issues and helps your care team in selecting the most appropriate treatment course.”

Highly recommend.Laura J2024-01-23I have just got home after my ultrasound at Vitalscan. All I can say is WOW. What an amazing place! First of all, everywhere was beautifully clean and fresh and it felt very calm. There was an area where you could get a drink - hot or cold - and it felt extremely professional. I was seen by Dr Khalid Enver today who was absolutely brilliant. I was extremely nervous and emotional about the ultrasound but he put me at ease straight away and was kind and calm the whole way through. He gave me my results verbally straight away and was able to answer all of my questions. Jayme (sorry if I've spelt this wrong!) was there to assist Dr Enver and she was wonderful - so kind and reassuring and just the sort of person you want to be around when you're feeling nervous! Thankyou SO much to the team at Vitalscan, I cannot recommend this place enough and it was worth every penny!
