Questions people often ask
Does plantar fasciitis need ultrasound?
Not always. Ultrasound is most useful when symptoms are persistent, unclear or not improving as expected.
Can ultrasound show plantar fascia thickening?
Yes, ultrasound can assess plantar fascia thickness and some tissue changes.
Will the scan change treatment?
That is the point. We use imaging when it can help decide the next step, not just to collect a picture.
