Services
Bunion Surgery
Bunion surgery corrects deformities of the big toe joint through bone realignment and soft tissue adjustments. Our board-certified surgeons use techniques like osteotomy and resection arthroplasty to relieve pain and restore function. Patients receive comprehensive post-operative care including immobilization and rehabilitation guidance.
Shockwave Treatment
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy treats chronic heel pain and plantar fasciitis without surgery. This non-invasive procedure stimulates healing through targeted acoustic waves. Certified providers administer this FDA-approved treatment for patients seeking alternatives to traditional interventions.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized care for diabetes-related foot complications including neuropathy and ulcers. Our team provides regular check-ups, wound care, and preventive treatments to reduce amputation risks. We emphasize patient education about daily foot maintenance and early complication detection.
Ankle Sprain Treatment
Comprehensive management of ankle ligament injuries through RICE protocol, bracing, and physical therapy. Severe cases receive surgical repair options with post-operative rehabilitation programs. We emphasize prompt treatment to prevent chronic instability and recurring injuries.
Hammer Toe Correction
Surgical correction for claw-like toe deformities involving tendon release or joint fusion. Minimally invasive techniques address pain and mobility issues caused by ill-fitting footwear or bunion-related pressure. Post-operative care includes protective footwear and gradual activity resumption.
