Bunions
Our specialists diagnose and treat bunions (Hallux Abducto Valgus) using both conservative and surgical approaches. We offer custom orthotics, bunion splints, and advanced surgical correction techniques including bunionectomy and osteotomy. Patients receive personalized footwear recommendations and post-operative rehabilitation plans to restore normal foot function and alleviate pain.
Diabetic Foot Care
We provide comprehensive diabetic foot management including ulcer prevention, wound care, and custom footwear fitting. Our team educates patients on daily foot inspections, infection prevention, and circulation maintenance. Regular podiatric check-ups help prevent serious complications like Charcot foot and diabetic neuropathy through early intervention.
Hammertoes
Our practice offers both non-surgical and surgical solutions for hammertoe deformities. Treatment options include toe exercises, orthotic inserts, and surgical correction for severe cases. We emphasize proper footwear selection and corn/callus management to reduce pressure points and improve patient comfort.
Sports Injuries
We specialize in diagnosing and treating sports-related foot and ankle injuries including sprains, tendonitis, and stress fractures. Our approach combines physical therapy, bracing, and activity modification with surgical intervention when necessary. Athletes receive tailored recovery plans to safely return to their sport while preventing future injuries.
Pediatric Foot Deformities
Our team addresses congenital and developmental foot conditions in children through early diagnosis and intervention. We treat flat feet, intoeing, and other structural abnormalities using conservative methods like orthotics and stretching programs, with surgical options available for complex cases to ensure proper growth and development.
