Foot Scan
Why Choose This Scan?: If you’re struggling with foot pain, whether it’s due to plantar fasciitis, a sprain, or any other foot condition, the Foot Scan at UKSONO Healthcare provides a quick, accurate, and non-invasive way to identify the root cause of your discomfort. Whether you’re experiencing heel pain, arch issues, or problems with your tendons and ligaments, this scan will help pinpoint the issue and provide clarity on the next steps for recovery.
What Does This Scan Assess?:
- Plantar Fascia: The scan specifically checks the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, to identify signs of inflammation or tears, common in conditions like plantar fasciitis.
- Tendons: It examines the Achilles tendon and other foot tendons for signs of tendonitis, tears, or strain that could be causing pain or mobility issues.
- Ligaments: The scan looks at the ligaments in the foot, including those in the arch and toe joints, to assess for sprains, tears, or other abnormalities.
What to Expect During the Scan?: The Foot Scan is a simple, painless, and non-invasive procedure that usually takes around 15–20 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Dynamic Imaging: You’ll be asked to move your foot slightly during the scan to help visualize the tendons, ligaments, and fascia more clearly. This allows the sonographer to get accurate, real-time images of the structures in your foot.
- Comfortable & Easy: The scan is completely non-invasive, with no need for injections or needles. The procedure is straightforward, comfortable, and provides a clear visual assessment of the foot’s soft tissues.
How to Prepare for the Scan:
- No Special Preparation Required: You don’t need to fast or change your routine before your Foot Scan. You can arrive just as you are, and we’ll take care of the rest.
