Diagnostic Ultrasound
We have a portable diagnostic ultrasound unit in our clinic that can easily be brought right into the treatment room to provide you with a quick evaluation &/or diagnosis to accurately treat a soft tissue problem.
Just like x-rays, that are necessary to visualize bone problems, diagnostic ultrasound is often necessary for the doctor to more accurately visualize soft tissue (i.e. muscles, tendons, ligaments and fatty tissue) problems in your feet or ankles.
Diagnostic ultrasound is often very useful for soft tissue growths, ganglions and tumors, foreign bodies (something you may have stepped on imbedded under the skin), injuries such as sprains and strains, joint pain, plantar fasciitis and neuromas (a pinched nerve between toes).
Westwood Foot Clinic proudly serves the communities of St. Louis Park, New Hope, Plymouth, Wayzata, and Minneapolis.
