Questions
What are the downsides to the Nike Vaporfly 3?
While enhancing performance, Vaporfly 3 may reduce foot stability for some runners and require adaptation period for natural gait patterns.

We use UltraMist wound therapy, offloading techniques, and regular debridement while managing underlying diabetes complications to promote healing.

Do I need a podiatrist for suspected stress fractures?
Yes - early diagnosis through imaging and proper immobilization prevents complications. We provide both diagnostic and rehabilitation services for foot stress fractures.
