Diagnostic Ultrasound - Podiatrist in Dedham, Quincy, Boston MA - Marshall Lukoff, DPM <br /> <br />Podiatrist Dr. Marshall Lukoff of FootCare Specialists discusses Diagnostic Ultrasound <br />http://www.footcarespecialistspc.com <br /> Ultrasound is a very effective tool for diagnosing a wide variety of foot and ankle problems, particularly soft tissue problems. Ultrasound uses sound waves on the body in a way much like radar uses sound waves. The waves hit a targeted area and are bounced back to a recording device, which produces an image. Ultrasound is a completely safe, noninvasive, and painless diagnostic procedure. <br /> <br />Common problems for which ultrasound may be prescribed include: <br />• Bursitis. <br />• Heel spurs or plantar fasciitis. <br />• Injuries of the ligaments, tendons, or cartilage. <br />• Morton's neuroma. <br />• Presence of foreign bodies. <br />• Soft tissue masses. <br />• Tarsal tunnel syndrome. <br />• Tendonitis or tears in a tendon. <br /> <br /> <br />Visit our website: http://www.footcarespecialistspc.com
