In our Podomedic Centers we have incorporated another diagnostic tool, the ultrasound scanner. Graphically we could say that it works as "an eye towards the interior of the human body".
Thanks to the ultrasound we can assess from the first moment the state of the damaged structure, monitor the healing process and assess whether the treatment designed individually for each patient is being effective.
Ultrasound allows us explore various structures of the musculoskeletal apparatus, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, bursae (cavities filled with fluid), cartilage and bone surfaces.
In addition, another of the attributes of the ultrasound machine is that it makes it possible establish a protocol acting and follow-up to assess the evolution of an injury.
And it is also useful for perform ultrasound-guided infiltrations. This means being able to inject the desired substance at the exact point where we want to act, so we make sure to act in the concerned area.
It is a non-invasive work tool that allows you to see the image of the lesion in real time and make an instant diagnosis.
The most frequent pathologies are:
- Sprained ankle.
- Tendon pathology: tenosynovitis, Achilles tendon pathology, intratendinous calcifications, etc.
- Muscular pathology.
- Bone pathology: tibial stress.
- Neuroma of Morton.
- Roture.
- Plantar fasciitis.
