Ultrasound treatment - PiedRéseau Rive-Sud
At PiedRéseau Rive-Sud, we offer ultrasound treatment as part of our comprehensive sports podiatry services. This advanced therapeutic method utilizes ultrasonic sound waves to address a variety of foot-related conditions, making it a versatile option for our patients. The treatment is suitable for both superficial injuries and deeper musculoskeletal issues, allowing us to effectively manage a range of painful ailments, from tendonitis to chronic wounds and plantar fasciitis.
The ultrasound procedure employs minimally invasive technology tailored to each patient’s needs. By using acoustic waves that penetrate the skin, we can create vibrations that not only provide soothing heat but also enhance blood circulation and soften joint tissues. This modern approach accelerates the body’s natural healing process, making it an integral part of our treatment offerings.
Ultrasound therapy can successfully address various conditions including plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, chronic lumbago, and more. While it is rarely used as a standalone treatment, it serves as a valuable complement to other therapeutic methods, ensuring a holistic approach to foot care. Our podiatrists will assess your specific situation to determine the best course of action.
The PiedRéseau Rive-Sud team is composed of dedicated professionals: Dr. Audrey Gilbert, podiatrist-owner; Dr. Vincent Coulombe, podiatrist; Guylaine Meilleur, foot care auxiliary nurse; Stéphanie Thivierge, foot care nurse; Hélène Septier, foot care auxiliary nurse/podiatric assistant; Kathy Laroche, clinical coordinator/administrative assistant; and Caroline Boudreault, executive administrative assistant.
