Musculoskeletal ultrasound

.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound is an imaging technique to evaluate several medical conditions of soft tissues. This examination allows you to dynamically and quickly visualize injuries to tendons, joints and muscles. Thus, the podiatrist can offer appropriate treatment for the correct diagnosis. He or she may also perform ultrasound-guided injection to relieve some of these conditions.
