Foot & Ankle Diagnostic Facilities
At the London Foot Clinic, we have heavily invested in some of the most advanced technology available, ensuring patients receive effective diagnosis and treatment as quickly as possible.
Diagnostic Ultrasound
At London Clinic, our top of the range facilities ensure we carry out a thorough examination to offer the most effective treatment for your diagnosis.
Our state-of-the-art diagnostic ultrasound equipment can be used to create an image of all the ligaments in your foot and ankle, plus the Achilles tendon, the plantar fascia, the posterior tibial tendon, and the peroneal tendons.
This technique is particularly useful when identifying lower limb related conditions, such as:
-
Achilles tendonitis
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Heel spurs
-
Torn tendons
-
Ligament injuries
-
Stress fractures
-
Morton’s Neuroma
-
Tarsal tunnel syndrome
-
Foot or ankle-based arthritis
-
Bursitis or capsulitis
Ultrasound Guided Injection
Ultrasound-guided joint injections use high-frequency waves to accurately assess the joint and visualise the needle clearly, enabling a clear orientation of the target area.
This procedure is often recommended when other treatments such as oral medication, joint manipulation and physical therapy, have been ineffective.
At the London Foot Clinic, we always aim to avoid unnecessary operations.
When we decide to proceed with any treatment, we ensure the least invasive procedure is undertaken.
