Echocardiogram  (also called an echo) is a type of ultrasound test that uses sound waves that are sent to the different parts of your hearth. A transducer picks up the echoes of the sound waves and they are turned into moving pictures of your heart that can be seen on a video screen. This test is ordered to look for the cause of abnormal heart sounds (murmurs or clicks), an enlarged heart, unexplained chest pains, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats. Check the thickness and movement of the heart wall. Look at the heart valves and check how well they work. Measure the size and shape of the heart’s chambers. Check the ability of your heart chambers to pump blood (cardiac performance). Look for blood clots and tumors inside the heart.

This procedure is also an ultrasound test and uses color to map the arteries in your body to identify narrowing of your vessels e.g. carotid arteries, aorta, upper and lower extremities.

Massage therapy is used to help manage a health condition or enhance wellness. It involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body.
