Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction
This innovative procedure corrects bunions using minimally invasive techniques that stabilize the joint in three dimensions. Our surgeons have performed over 300 successful Lapiplasty procedures, offering faster recovery times and reduced recurrence rates compared to traditional methods. The treatment addresses both the visible deformity and underlying structural causes for comprehensive correction.
MLS Laser Therapy
Utilizing multiwave locked system technology, this non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation and alleviates chronic pain conditions. The therapy stimulates cellular metabolism to accelerate natural healing processes without requiring incisions or medication. Patients benefit from targeted relief for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and post-surgical recovery.
Amniotic Injections
These FDA-approved injections use human amniotic membrane allografts to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation. The treatment contains growth factors and cytokines that stimulate the body's natural healing response for chronic conditions. Patients receive this regenerative option for treating arthritis, tendon injuries, and non-healing wounds with minimal recovery time.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialized care for sports-related foot and ankle injuries combines diagnostic imaging with tailored rehabilitation plans. Our specialists treat acute injuries like fractures alongside chronic overuse conditions affecting athletes of all levels. Treatment integrates advanced therapies including PRP injections and custom orthotics to restore function and prevent future injuries.
