MRI Ankle Joint

Do you suffer from pain in the inner or outer ankle, heel or back foot? Is the mobility of your ankle joint restricted? Swelling and stabbing pain in the back foot are often the consequences of an injury or wear and tear of the upper or lower ankle joint and the surrounding ligaments and tendons. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at ARISTRA can precisely map the causes of this.
