For those who are experiencing pain, swelling, or discomfort in their ankle or foot, Ultrasound Digital provides a thorough private musculoskeletal ultrasound screening service. In our state-of-the-art clinics across England, each foot and ankle scan is performed by a skilled sonographer using the newest equipment.
We provide a variety of MSK ultrasound services, but by dividing our offerings into more specialized scans, you should be able to choose the most appropriate MSK scan for you more quickly, enabling you to receive a diagnosis and, if needed, begin treatment sooner.
What can be identified by an ultrasound scan of the foot or ankle?
Numerous medical disorders affecting the lower leg region can be identified and diagnosed by ultrasound scans of the foot or ankle, including:
- Plantar fasciitis arthritis
- Neuromas Fibromas
- Ganglions and joint effusions
- tears in the tendons or ligaments
- Tendinopathy
- Degeneration of Bursitis
Our skilled sonographers can perform a diagnostic ultrasound scan; but, in order to determine the cause of your pain or discomfort, your general practitioner will need to analyze the scan results. We will provide you with a copy of your scan; however, you must give your doctor the information so they can schedule any additional tests or scans that may be required.
Non-invasive MSK scan on foot or ankle
Almost everyone who undergoes an ultrasound scan reports no pain because the procedure is non-invasive. Our skilled sonographers use technology that converts soundwave echoes into finely detailed photographs of soft tissues.
The cold gel that is given to your skin to enable the ultrasound equipment to glide over it will probably cause you the most discomfort.
What is the duration of a private foot or ankle scan?
An appointment for a scan of the foot or ankle at an Ultrasound Dgital clinic will typically be completed within 20 minutes.
For whom is a foot or ankle musculoskeletal scan appropriate?
Anyone over the age of eighteen can get an MSK ultrasound scan from Ultrasound Digital. For this, you can make an online reservation without requiring a referral from your doctor. It is advised that you inform your general practitioner (GP) of your plan to do a private ultrasound scan so they are ready to review the results at a later time.
