Point of Care Ultrasound

Diagnostic Ultrasound

We are proud to offer state-of-the-art diagnostic ultrasound services as part of our comprehensive treatment approach. With our cutting-edge ultrasound technology, we can accurately assess and diagnose a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, ensuring you receive the highest quality care possible.

Our skilled podiatrists utilize diagnostic ultrasound to provide a non-invasive and detailed assessment of your foot and ankle structures. By using sound waves to create real-time images, we can visualize soft tissues, ligaments, tendons, and bones with exceptional clarity. Whether you’re experiencing heel pain, tendonitis, nerve entrapment, or other foot-related concerns, our diagnostic ultrasound services enable us to gather valuable insights and tailor your treatment plan accordingly.

Here are some key advantages of diagnostic ultrasound in podiatry:

1. Non-invasive and Painless: Diagnostic ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that does not require any incisions or radiation exposure. Patients can undergo ultrasound examinations comfortably without discomfort or pain, making it an attractive option for individuals seeking a pain-free diagnostic experience.
2. Safe and Radiation-Free: Unlike other imaging modalities, such as X-rays or CT scans, diagnostic ultrasound does not involve any ionizing radiation. This makes it a safe option, particularly for pregnant women, children, and individuals who may need repeated imaging over time.
3. Precision and Accuracy: Our advanced ultrasound technology provides detailed and accurate images, allowing our podiatrists to make precise diagnoses. This means you can trust that your treatment plan is tailored specifically to your condition.
4. Real-time Assessment: Ultrasound provides real-time imaging, allowing podiatrists to visualize and assess the structures within the foot and ankle in motion. This dynamic imaging capability enables the evaluation of ligamentous and tendinous function, joint mobility, and the detection of abnormalities that may be missed in static imaging.
5. Early Detection and Diagnosis: Ultrasound enables early detection and diagnosis of foot and ankle conditions. By identifying pathologies in their early stages, podiatrists can intervene promptly, potentially preventing the progression of the condition and reducing the need for more invasive interventions later on.
6. Guided Interventions: Ultrasound can serve as a valuable tool for guiding interventional procedures, such as injections or aspirations. With real-time imaging, podiatrists can precisely target the affected area, ensuring accurate delivery of medications or therapeutic interventions, thus improving treatment outcomes.
