Common Questions

For heel pain that has not responded to several months of stretching, orthotics, and rest, yes. MRI can distinguish plantar fasciitis from a calcaneal stress fracture, which are treated very differently.

Arch, midfoot, and toes are a foot study. Ankle bones and Achilles are an ankle study. Describe your pain when booking and we will make sure you get the right coverage.
