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.
