The follwing tests are used to diagnose symptoms of pain, tingling, burning and numbness in the feet and legs.

Nerve Testing:

Neurometrix™ is a device which allows our doctors to test the motor function of the nerves in the legs and feet. It helps to identify the deficit in nerve response and to determine the exact levels.

Neuopathy:

This test measures sensory nerve function.

Arterial Studies:

These are a series of all non-invasive diagnostic tests used to determine circulation in the lower extremities. By studying the blood flow to the feet, our doctors can quantify the blood and oxygen perfusion that reaches the leg, foot and toes. This test is of particular value in diabetic patients who experience a restricted circulation that makes wound healing difficult and puts them in danger of developing gangrene and needing amputation.

B-Mode - DUPLEX STUDIES:

This device uses ultrasound to visually "inspect" the venous system of a patient. Our doctors can follow veins down a patient's leg and visualize the restrictions or free flow of blood within the leg. They can measure the location and amount of blockage and determine the most appropriate treatment modality.

Gait Analysis:

TEKSCAN ™ is a device used by our doctors to evaluate and measure how patients stand and walk. The instrument measures the precise pressure points on the feet and gives our doctors a thorough understanding of the stress that our patients' feet are under in their normal walking. By evaluating the biomechanics of the foot while bearing weight, our doctors can better serve their patients in orthotic designs, foot wear or with
treatment modalities.

Ultrasound Imaging:

This is a device used to detect musculoskeletal defects and wound depth.
