Introducing ultrasound imaging at Foot Health Podiatry Claregalway

Thu, Jul 24, 2025

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.

Treating sinusitis and its related symptoms by acupuncture and manipulation

Thu, Jul 17, 2025

Sinusitis is a common condition that affects many people each year. It occurs when the sinuses — the air-filled spaces in the nose and head — become inflamed and swollen, often as a result of an infection fallowing a cold or flu. Allergies, such as pollen in the summer, can make symptoms worse.

While most cases of sinusitis clear up on their own within two to three weeks, it becomes chronic sinusitis (chronic rhinosinusitis) when the symptoms persist for 12 weeks or longer after repeated episodes of acute sinusitis. This condition can affect both adults and children and can significantly impact your quality of life.
