Foot Ultrasound

Precise and non-invasive diagnostic imaging by our podiatrists in Montreal

Understand

What is a foot ultrasound?

Foot ultrasound is a modern, painless, and non-invasive imaging tool that allows for real-time visualization of the internal structures of the foot and ankle. It is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, cysts, or ligament tears.

At our podiatry clinic, we use musculoskeletal ultrasound to provide an accurate diagnosis and effectively guide treatment. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to quickly detect the source of pain or discomfort and evaluate the response to ongoing treatments.

This examination, performed directly on-site by a qualified podiatrist, facilitates rapid and personalized care. If you are experiencing persistent pain in your foot or ankle, do not wait. Book an appointment today for a comprehensive evaluation with ultrasound.

Tendinitis and Tears

Evaluation of tendons (Achilles, posterior tibial, peroneal) and ligaments to detect inflammation, partial or complete tears, and track the healing of injuries in real-time.

Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Spur

Visualization of plantar fascia thickening, precise measurement of its thickness, and detection of a potential heel spur. Ultrasound helps confirm the diagnosis and monitor treatment progress.

Neuromas and Cysts

Detection of Morton's neuromas (nerve thickening between metatarsals), ganglion cysts, and foreign bodies. Real-time imaging also guides therapeutic injections with optimal precision.

Is a foot ultrasound painful?

No, an ultrasound is a completely painless and non-invasive examination. A conductive gel is applied to the skin, and a probe is gently moved over the area to be examined. The exam produces no radiation and can be repeated as often as necessary without risk to your health.

Is any preparation needed before the ultrasound?

No special preparation is required before a foot ultrasound. You do not need to fast or stop taking your medications. We simply recommend wearing clothes that allow easy access to the foot and ankle (pants that can be easily rolled up).

Can an ultrasound replace an X-ray or an MRI?

Ultrasound excels at evaluating soft tissues (tendons, ligaments, fascia, nerves), while X-ray is better suited for bony structures. In many cases, ultrasound provides enough information to make an accurate diagnosis and guide treatment. Your podiatrist can refer you for additional tests if necessary.

Is a foot ultrasound covered by insurance?

An ultrasound performed by a podiatrist is part of the podiatric examination and may be covered by private insurance that includes podiatric care. Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan. We recommend checking your policy details or contacting our clinic for more information on rates.
