Is This Treatment Right for You?
Ultrasound is helpful for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions where direct imaging guides assessment or treatment.
Plantar Fasciitis
Imaging the plantar fascia in suspected fasciitis or partial tears, with guided injection where conservative care has not settled symptoms.
Achilles Tendinopathy
Real-time imaging of the Achilles tendon to identify tendinopathy or partial tears, and guided injection therapy when clinically indicated.
Morton’s Neuroma
Forefoot nerve pain between the metatarsals ultrasound confirms the neuroma and guides any injection where conservative care has not settled symptoms.
Lower-Leg Tendinopathy
Real-time imaging of tibialis posterior, peroneal and other lower-leg tendons in tendinopathy or partial tears.
Bursitis & Effusions
Detection of joint effusions and bursitis around the foot and ankle, with guided injection therapy where clinically suitable.
Soft-Tissue Lesions
Confirming the location and nature of soft-tissue masses, ganglia and similar lesions in the foot and ankle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a GP referral to book a ultrasound appointment?
No. You can book directly with us for ultrasound treatment at any of our clinics. A GP referral is not required.
What problems can an ultrasound scan diagnose?
Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, Morton’s neuroma, tibialis posterior or peroneal tendon issues, joint effusions, bursitis and soft-tissue lesions in the foot and ankle.
What happens during an ultrasound appointment?
A short history and symptom check, the ultrasound scan itself with findings explained on the spot, and — if clinically appropriate — a guided injection delivered at the same visit. You leave with a clear plan for the next step.
Is ultrasound treatment painful?
A scan is non-invasive and painless. A guided injection involves a small needle and may briefly sting, but the local anaesthetic settles quickly. We work carefully and explain each step.
How much does ultrasound cost?
An ultrasound scan is £150. If a guided steroid injection is clinically appropriate and carried out at the same appointment, the total is £260. All appointment fees include the consultation and any in-clinic treatment carried out during that session.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can self-refer for an ultrasound scan or guided injection. If you have been advised to seek imaging or a guided injection, just contact us directly.
