Foot Health Podiatry Claregalway is one of the first podiatry clinics in Ireland to offer point of care ultrasound (POCUS ) — a cutting-edge way to look inside the foot, diagnose issues quickly, and guide more effective treatments. The team can now accurately target pain sources and guide treatments effectively.
Known as point of care ultrasound (POCUS ), this tool allows podiatrists to see inside the foot in real time, using sound waves to create live images of muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. It’s a quick, safe, and non-invasive way to understand what’s causing pain — whether it’s heel pain, tendon injuries, inflammation, or joint issues.
Real-time imaging: No waiting weeks for scans — problems are pinpointed instantly.
Non-invasive diagnosis: Gentle and safe, perfect for treating kids, elderly patients, or those anxious about scans.
Speedy recovery plans: Less back-and-forth, more solutions tailored to the patient’s condition.
To make sure this service is delivered safely and professionally, podiatrists at Foot Health have undergone specialist training. In the UK and Ireland, groups like CASE (Consortium for the Accreditation of Sonographic Education ) and BMUS (British Medical Ultrasound Society ) ensure that ultrasound training meets the highest standards. These organisations also promote ongoing learning and support best practice.
By combining expert foot care with modern technology, Foot Health Podiatry Claregalway is helping people get back on their feet quicker and with more confidence. This is a major step forward in community-based healthcare, offering diagnostics right on your doorstep.
