Foot and Ankle Services and Treatments
Our foot and ankle surgeons use state-of-the-art technology to diagnose and treat all types of foot, ankle, and heel conditions.
Imaging and testing
Digitized x-ray systems let us see everything in real time, so you won’t be waiting for results.
Imaging technologies and other diagnostic tools include:
- Arthrograms — an x-ray to help diagnose the cause of unexplained joint pain.
- Bone scans.
- Computed tomography (CT) scans.
- Hand-held Doppler units — ultrasound tools that can detect a blockage in the blood vessels.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
