If you suffer from chronic foot and ankle pain and can’t seem to figure out the source, a diagnostic digital X-ray might help shed some light on the situation. Dr. Vimal Reddy and his team will make sure you’re treated with the utmost care as they work to get to the root of your foot or ankle pain.
They’ll start off with general consultation and examination, getting a detailed history of when the pain started, if there was any mechanism of injury like a fall or rolling your ankle, and performing some tests to start narrowing down a diagnosis. Sometimes this involves taking digital X-rays.
The staff will make sure you’re comfortable and well-protected while performing the X-ray, taking images from all the necessary angles. Since these images are digital, the doctors can immediately review them on the monitor, so there’s no need to wait for film to develop.
Digital X-rays also have a much sharper image than traditional ones and allow the doctors to zoom in to get a better look at any pathologies or other issues they might find. It also allows the doctor to better show you what exactly is going on in the images, showing you exactly where the problem is and what is causing your pain if they do find something in the X-ray.
At First Coast Foot & Ankle Clinic the staff is committed to making sure every patient is treated with the utmost care and patience. If you need a digital X-ray in Jacksonville, FL, call now and schedule an appointment today.
