Heel Pain Treatment
Our clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating heel pain through comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools like ultrasound imaging to identify plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and stress fractures. Treatment options include cortisone injections, custom orthotics, and shockwave therapy for chronic cases.
MLS Laser Therapy
We offer MLS Laser Therapy for non-invasive treatment of foot and ankle injuries. This technology effectively reduces inflammation and promotes healing for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and sports injuries. Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes with no downtime required.
Custom Orthotics
Our functional orthotics are custom-designed using 3D scanning technology to address specific foot mechanics issues. These medical-grade devices correct biomechanical imbalances causing pain from flat feet, high arches, or gait abnormalities. We provide both rigid and accommodative options based on individual needs.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
We treat acute and chronic ingrown toenails using both conservative and surgical approaches. Our chemical matrixectomy procedure permanently prevents recurrent ingrown nails with a 95% success rate. The outpatient procedure takes less than 30 minutes with local anesthesia.
Sports Medicine
Our sports medicine specialists treat foot and ankle injuries in athletes of all levels. We provide rapid diagnosis and treatment for sprains, stress fractures, and tendon injuries. Return-to-play protocols include physical therapy, bracing, and activity modification tailored to each athlete's sport.
