Common Conditions Assessed
What causes hamstring pain — and what ultrasound can find
Hamstring pain can be caused by acute muscle tears, tendon overload, proximal tendon degeneration, scar tissue, haematoma or sciatic nerve irritation. Ultrasound helps identify the specific structure involved.
Acute muscle and tendon injuries
- Biceps femoris strain The most common hamstring injury, often occurring during sprinting, kicking or sudden acceleration. Ultrasound can identify fibre disruption, haematoma and tendon involvement.
- Semitendinosus strain Injury may involve the muscle belly, internal raphe or proximal conjoint tendon. Ultrasound helps distinguish isolated muscle strain from tendon-associated injury.
- Semimembranosus strain Often related to deceleration or overuse. Ultrasound checks muscle belly, tendon thickening and partial tearing.
- Proximal hamstring avulsion Sudden severe buttock or posterior thigh pain after forceful movement may represent tendon detachment from the ischial tuberosity and requires urgent specialist assessment.
Chronic and overuse conditions
- High hamstring tendinopathy Degeneration at the proximal hamstring origin, causing deep buttock pain, often worse when sitting, running, cycling or climbing stairs.
- Ischiogluteal bursitis Fluid or inflammation near the sitting bone that can mimic tendon pain and may be visible on ultrasound.
- Scar tissue and re-injury Follow-up ultrasound can assess healing, fibrosis and whether an old tear may be contributing to recurrent symptoms.
- Sciatic nerve irritation Proximal hamstring injury or haematoma can irritate the sciatic nerve; ultrasound can assess nearby soft tissue changes.

Common Questions
Private Hamstring Ultrasound Scan FAQs
Everything you need to know about your private hamstring ultrasound at London Private Ultrasound.
What is a Private Hamstring Ultrasound Scan?
A Private Hamstring Ultrasound Scan is a diagnostic examination using sound waves to assess the posterior thigh muscles and tendons. It is painless and does not use radiation.
How much does a private hamstring ultrasound cost in London?
At London Private Ultrasound, one leg costs £199 and both legs cost £299. The price includes same-day verbal results and a written report within 24 hours.
Can ultrasound detect a hamstring tear?
Yes. Ultrasound can detect hamstring muscle tears, haematoma, tendon involvement and healing changes. Very early scans may underestimate injury severity, so your clinician will advise if follow-up or MRI is needed.
Can ultrasound assess high hamstring tendinopathy?
Yes. Ultrasound can assess the proximal hamstring tendon origin at the ischial tuberosity for thickening, hypoechoic change, fluid and Doppler activity.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book your Private Hamstring Ultrasound Scan directly online or call 020 7101 3377.
Should I scan one leg or both legs?
One leg (£199) is suitable for symptoms affecting one side. Both legs (£299) is helpful for bilateral symptoms, athletes, recurrent injuries or comparison against the uninjured side.
