Why X-RAY BOTH HEELS LATERAL is Important
A lateral heel x-ray plays a critical role in diagnosing various heel-related conditions. The heel bears the body’s full weight, making it prone to injuries and degeneration. X-RAY BOTH HEELS LATERAL allows clinicians to compare both heels simultaneously, ensuring accurate assessment and early detection.
Importance:
-
Detect calcaneus fractures – especially after falls or accidents.
-
Identify heel spurs, commonly associated with plantar fasciitis.
-
Evaluate arthritis or joint space narrowing in the subtalar joint.
-
Check alignment issues, such as flatfoot or high-arched foot complications.
-
Monitor bone deformities caused by overuse or long-term stress.
Doctors also recommend this test for sports injuries, Achilles tendon pain, and post-surgical evaluation.
