Ankle Ultrasound

Ankle ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create pictures of the structures in and around the ankle, including tendons, ligaments, muscles, and blood vessels. This procedure helps doctors diagnose conditions like tendon injuries, ligament tears, or blood flow issues without using radiation. The ultrasound technician places a gel on the skin and moves a small device called a transducer over the area, capturing real-time images. It's quick, safe, and usually painless, providing valuable information to guide treatment decisions.
