Venous Doppler (Varicose Veins)
Venous Doppler is a specialized ultrasound procedure that evaluates the veins in the foot in order to determine the cause of varicose veins and other vascular conditions, as well as plan out treatment of affected veins and identify blood clots, vessel narrowing, tumors and other abnormalities within the veins. Doppler technology allows the movement of blood through the veins to be viewed as well. Contact New Hyde Park Podiatry for more information
Arterial Doppler
Arterial Doppler is often performed to evaluate blood flow in patients at risk for peripheral artery disease (PAD), which involves a narrowing of arteries in the legs or feet as a result of plaque build-up. While patients may not notice many symptoms, pain in the legs while exercising is often a sign of PAD. Doppler technology uses sound waves to detect blood flow and identify any differences in blood pressure within different areas of the arms and legs.

Doppler Vascular Evaluation
Doppler vascular ultrasound produces images of blood flowing through the foot in order to identify blood clots, insufficient blood flow, blockages and determine the cause of peripheral artery disease. While similar to a traditional ultrasound procedure, a Doppler ultrasound allows doctors and patients to evaluate blood flowing through the blood vessels in real time.

Nerve Conduction Testing
Electrodiagnostic testing is a type of diagnostic procedure that measures the speed and degree of electrical activity within the muscles and nerves in order to diagnose conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, tarsal tunnel syndrome, tibial neuropathy or other conditions that place pressure on specific nerves. In healthy patients, nerves and muscles generate electrical signals to communicate with the brain. Injury or disease can affect the nerves and muscles and disrupt this communication, causing pain, weakness, numbness and other symptoms throughout the affected area.
Two of the most commonly used exams for electrodiagnostic testing include an electromyography and a nerve conduction study. Electromyography involves placing small needles in the targeted muscle to measure electrical activity. Patients will be asked to relax and tense their muscle to generate signals. Nerve conduction studies involve attaching electrodes to the skin and stimulating the targeted nerve with an electric current to determine how fast signals can travel through the nerves. These procedures may be performed together in order to confirm a diagnosis. Contact New Hyde Park Podiatry for more information
Ultrasound Guided Treatment
At New Hyde Park Podiatry we utilize diagnostic ultrasound to determine many different bone and soft tissue foot and ankle pathologies. The procedure is completely non-invasive, painless and is performed right in our office. Within a few minutes, we are able to evaluate and diagnose a multitude of problems such as neuromas, tendonitis, bursitis, bone spurs, ulcers, arthritis and plantar fasciitis and how extensive the pathology may be. The images are captured to our patients' charts and we then have an opportunity to discuss and implement a comprehensive treatment plan immediately. The ultrasound machine is also sometimes utilized in very specifically placed therapeutic injections if needed. Contact New Hyde Park Podiatry for more information
X-Ray
X-ray imaging, also called radiography, is a fast and easy way to identify and diagnose foot and ankle injuries and disorders such as arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis, fractures and infections. It is also used in conjunction with orthopedic surgery to to ensure that a fracture or other injury has been properly aligned, and it can aid in the detection and diagnosis of cysts, tumors and severe infections of the bones.
