Plantar Fascia Ultrasound

Harbour Radiology provides an extensive range of high-quality bulk billed ultrasound imaging including musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasounds for plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is a condition that causes inflammation or swelling in the tissues in the base of your foot.

We can evaluate this condition through ultrasound which uses no radiation and instead utilises high-frequency sound waves to image these tissues for our doctors to evaluate the severity of the inflammation.

The scan does not require any invasive imaging as the ultrasound probe is run across the outside of the elbow during the examination.

We also offer ultrasound-guided corticoid steroid injections for management of the inflammation. Please speak to your referring practitioner when discussing the results to check if this is appropriate for your ongoing management and for a referral which is required for this procedure.
