Achilles Tendon Ultrasound
At Physio and More in Kingston Upon Thames, we offer specialised Achilles tendon ultrasound services to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions affecting the Achilles tendon. Whether you are dealing with Achilles tendonitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, or require advanced procedures like hydrodissection, our ultrasound therapy provides accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
Achilles Tendon Ultrasound: Precise Diagnosis
Achilles tendon ultrasound is a non-invasive, real-time imaging technique that allows us to assess the soft tissues surrounding the Achilles tendon. This diagnostic tool is ideal for evaluating conditions such as:
- Achilles tendonitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon can cause significant pain and limit mobility. Using ultrasound treatment for Achilles tendonitis, we can evaluate the extent of the inflammation and damage, allowing us to create a tailored treatment plan.
- Retrocalcaneal bursitis: This condition involves inflammation of the bursa located between the Achilles tendon and the heel bone. Ultrasound helps identify this issue and guide treatment.
- Hydrodissection and hydrodisplacement: These advanced ultrasound-guided procedures help release the Achilles tendon from surrounding tissues when they have become adhered or compressed, improving function and reducing pain.
Ultrasound Therapy for Achilles Tendon Issues
Ultrasound therapy for the Achilles tendon is a highly effective treatment method that promotes healing and reduces inflammation. This therapy uses sound waves to stimulate tissue repair, improve circulation, and alleviate pain, making it an ideal option for patients dealing with Achilles tendonitis or other related conditions.
Our ultrasound treatment for Achilles tendonitis is non-invasive and can be used alongside other therapies, such as physiotherapy, to provide comprehensive care. By targeting the affected area directly, ultrasound therapy accelerates the healing process and helps prevent further injury.
Advanced Procedures: Hydrodissection and Hydrodisplacement
For patients with more complex Achilles tendon issues, we offer hydrodissection and hydrodisplacement procedures. These involve using ultrasound guidance to inject a fluid between the tendon and surrounding tissues, helping to release adhesions and restore movement. This can be particularly effective for patients suffering from chronic tendon pain or reduced mobility due to scar tissue or inflammation.
