diagnostic ultrasound

A diagnostic ultrasound allows podiatrists to visualize and examine the foot, ankle and leg from the inside. It’s a great way to help diagnose issues that can’t been seen on x-rays. This allows our staff to accurately diagnose foot conditions that might otherwise be hard to catch. Ultrasounds are painless with zero side effects. It’s even safer than a traditional x-ray, since it doesn’t involve any radiation and much less expensive than MRI studies.

Ultrasound diagnostics are used to detect the following:

  • Foreign Bodies
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Inflammation
  • Bursitis
  • Bone Spurs
  • Gout
  • Neuromas
  • Arthritis
  • Tendon Tears
  • Tumors
  • And much more!

The ability to accurately diagnose your pain is important. It helps us form a targeted plan to treat your condition. Don’t ignore foot pain because you’re afraid of what it could be!
