Diagnostic Ultrasound
Our podiatrist, Ben Du, is trained in diagnostic ultrasound to view structures within the foot and ankle to assist with diagnosis. Diagnostic ultrasound imaging provides accurate and immediate diagnoses of foot and ankle injuries. This allows our patients to receive immediate treatment and better treatment outcomes. Diagnostic ultrasound will allow the podiatrist to begin the right treatment plan quickly, to reduce delays. Using wireless technology, it allows faster diagnosis and reduces the need for an external scan. Common pathologies that are well visualised with Ultrasound include heel pain or plantar fascia issues, forefoot issues such as neuroma's, bursitis or plantar plate issues, tendon complaints such as Achilles or Tibialis posterior, and foreign bodies.
Cortisone Injections
Cortisone injections are a common treatment for pain and inflammation in the foot and ankle. Our podiatrist, Ben Du, is trained in administering cortisone injections under ultrasound guidance. Cortisone injections can provide short-to-medium pain relief for a wide variety of foot and ankle injuries. Cortisone is an anti-inflammatory medicine that can be injected directly into the affected tissues that are causing your pain and symptoms. A cortisone injection can reduce swelling, stiffness and pain in your foot and ankle, and acts to stop inflammation in your body. At Balwyn Sports and Physiotherapy Centre, we use ultrasound to accurately inject the cortisone. Your podiatrist can discuss with you the most beneficial treatment plan based on your injury. Cortisone injections can be used to treat plantar fasciitis, Morton's neuroma, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, bursitis, capsulitis, Achilles tendinopathy.
