Joint & Extremity MRI Imaging in Chino Hills

Joint and extremity injuries can be deceptively complex. Pain, instability, or loss of function in the arms or legs often stems from subtle damage to cartilage, ligaments, tendons, or supporting joint structures, findings that may not be fully characterized without targeted imaging. At Spectrum MRI, we provide joint and extremity injury imaging using specialized MRI protocols designed to clarify the true source of symptoms and support precise treatment decisions.

As the best MRI center for joint and extremity injury imaging in Chino Hills, we combine high-field MRI technology, advanced post-processing software, and

musculoskeletal imaging expertise to deliver clear, clinically useful studies. Our imaging is trusted by orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, physical therapists, chiropractors, and personal injury professionals across San Bernardino County, Orange County, and Los Angeles County, particularly when accurate imaging is essential for guiding care, rehabilitation, or documentation.

Spectrum MRI proudly supports patients and referring providers throughout Southern California with focused imaging for:

Hip Injuries

Hip pain may originate from labral tears, impingement, cartilage damage, or degenerative joint changes. Our hip imaging protocols are designed to clearly evaluate intra-articular structures and surrounding soft tissues, helping providers distinguish between conditions that may present with similar symptoms but require different treatment approaches.

Knee Injuries

The knee is especially vulnerable to ligament, meniscal, and cartilage injuries, whether from sports, overuse, or trauma. We provide detailed knee MRIs to assess internal derangement, instability, degenerative changes, and post-surgical concerns, supporting confident decisions about rehabilitation, injection therapy, or surgical evaluation.

Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder pain often involves complex interactions between the rotator cuff, labrum, joint capsule, and surrounding tendons. Our shoulder imaging focuses on identifying rotator cuff pathology, labral tears, instability patterns, and degenerative conditions that affect strength, range of motion, and long-term joint health.

Wrist Injuries

Wrist injuries can be difficult to diagnose due to the number of small bones, ligaments, and tendons involved. Specialized wrist MRI allows us to evaluate fractures, ligament injuries, TFCC pathology, tendon damage, and chronic pain sources that may not be visible on standard imaging.

Elbow Injuries

Elbow pain may result from ligament injury, tendon degeneration, joint instability, or repetitive stress. Our imaging supports evaluation of both acute injuries and chronic conditions, helping providers determine whether symptoms are inflammatory, degenerative, or structural in nature.

Ankle Injuries

Ankle injuries frequently involve ligament sprains, cartilage defects, tendon pathology, or joint instability. We provide detailed ankle imaging to assess both acute trauma and lingering symptoms after injury, supporting safe return to activity and appropriate treatment planning.

Upper & Lower Extremity Injuries

For injuries affecting the arms, legs, hands, or feet, targeted extremity MRI helps identify soft-tissue injury, occult fractures, degenerative changes, and chronic pain sources. These studies are especially valuable when symptoms persist despite conservative care or when prior imaging has not explained functional limitations.
