Diagnostic ultrasound allows our podiatrists to visualize soft tissue structures such as tendons, ligaments, nerves, and muscles in real time. This technology is especially useful for diagnosing plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injuries, neuromas, and ligament tears without radiation exposure.
Common Uses for Diagnostic Ultrasound
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Tendon tears
- Morton’s neuroma
- Soft tissue masses
- Ligament injuries
