Ultrasound Diagnostic Therapy
At Margaret Dabbs® London, our ultrasound (US) diagnostic scans of the feet and ankles are used to support the physical biomechanical examinations we undertake with you.
Ultrasound has many advantages over utilising X-rays, most noticeable the fact that radiation is not used to produce images, which means it’s safer for the body and can be used through pregnancy.
Ultrasound also enables us to see your body working in real time and the sonographer Podiatrist can see your body moving whilst watching the images. This is particularly useful for tendons, muscles, and ligaments, which means potential diagnoses are quicker and more immediate. A formal ultrasound summary of your findings letter will be provided at an additional charge.
Pathologies such as plantar fasciopathy, Achilles tendinopathy, Morton’s Neuroma, bursitis, OA disease can be ratified by US
In addition, in some pathological conditions, we can provide precise injections (Morton’s neuroma, plantar fasciopathy), to the problematic area, which will help to provide pain relief and reduce inflammation.
