Diagnostic Ultrasound - Podiatrist in Smyma, GA



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.
