Diagnostic Ultrasound - Podiatrist in Smyma, GA

 

 Podiatrist in Smyma, GA  - Diagnostic Ultrasound

 

Ultrasound is a very effective tool for diagnosing a wide variety of foot and ankle problems, particularly soft tissue problems. Ultrasound uses sound waves on the body in a way much like radar uses sound waves. The waves hit a targeted area and are bounced back to a recording device, which produces an image. Ultrasound is a completely safe, noninvasive, and painless diagnostic procedure.

 

Common problems for which ultrasound may be prescribed include:

    * Bursitis.

    * Heel spurs or plantar fasciitis.

    * Injuries of the ligaments, tendons, or cartilage.

    * Morton's neuroma.

    * Presence of foreign bodies.

    * Soft tissue masses.

    * Tarsal tunnel syndrome.

    * Tendonitis or tears in a tendon.
