When is an MRI most reliable for a soft-tissue running injury?
About this episode
If you have a soft tissue injury in your foot related to overtraining, you (or your doctor) may be thinking about getting an MRI.
If you have a ligament injury, plantar plate sprain, partial tear of the plantar fascia, an Achilles tendon partial rupture, Achilles tendinosis, or peroneal tendinitis, the timing of the MRI is extremely important.
MRIs can be really useful tools. They give you over a hundred images of your foot. Because you have so many pictures, the detail can fool you into believing the MRI is a complete picture, but it is not.
