Did you know we offer several different ultrasounds? If you’re experiencing leg pain or looking for PAD treatment, an ultrasound might be right for you.

👉What are they?
Ultrasounds are non-invasive tests that help us diagnose and treat your medical conditions. The ultrasound uses sound waves to produce pictures of different structures in your body.

👉The process:
One of our registered vascular ultrasound technologists will perform your ultrasound. If it’s positive, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss your results and treatment options.

👉Ultrasound options:
- Carotid duplex
- Aorta/iliac imaging
- Upper/lower extremity arterial duplex imaging
- Upper/lower extremity venous duplex imaging
- Ankle brachial index
- Renal artery imaging
- Mesenteric artery imaging

While we do offer PAD screenings, we also offer a number of other treatments for vascular health! Are you suffering from any of the following? We can help!

👉 Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) - when arteries age and harden, then narrow and stiffen due to plaque buildup, reducing blood flow to the legs.
👉 Mesenteric Ischemia - when there’s blockage of the mesenteric vessels
👉 Renal Artery Stenosis - when the kidney arteries narrow, causing high blood pressure and the potential for kidney failure
👉 Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm - when a weak area of the thoracic aorta expands or bulges
