What is Diagnostic Ultrasound: 


Diagnostic ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique employing high-frequency sound waves to generate detailed images of soft tissues, including tendons, muscles, and ligaments. This safe and radiation-free procedure provides valuable insights into your health without the need for surgical incisions or exposure to harmful radiation. While commonly known for its use in prenatal care, ultrasound technology extends its utility to diagnosing a spectrum of conditions, including work, sport, and activity-related injuries impacting the lower extremities. At Equinox, we harness the power of diagnostic ultrasound to deliver precise assessments and tailored treatment plans for patients, promoting effective management and rehabilitation of foot and ankle injuries

What occurs during a diagnostic ultrasound?:

During a diagnostic ultrasound at Equinox Foot and Ankle, your provider ensures a seamless and efficient process, all within the comfort of our office.

First, your provider meticulously reviews your medical history and discusses your symptoms, including onset, location, and aggravating factors. A thorough physical examination follows, during which your foot and ankle are assessed for signs such as redness, swelling, or tenderness upon palpation.

Once the examination is complete, your provider proceeds with the ultrasound. Using a handheld device called a transducer, they gently glide it over specific areas of your foot. This transducer emits high-frequency sound waves, which penetrate the tissues and bounce back, creating real-time images displayed on a monitor. Your provider interprets these images, aiding in the confirmation of your diagnosis.

This streamlined approach allows for swift evaluation and ensures that you receive prompt and accurate diagnosis, paving the way for personalized treatment strategies tailored to your unique needs."

Moreover, there's no need for concern about downtime or recovery periods – you can seamlessly resume your daily activities immediately following the procedure.
