Services
Bunions
Bunions are bone deformities at the big toe joint caused by misalignment. We offer conservative treatments like padding, orthotics, and physical therapy, as well as surgical correction for severe cases. Our approach focuses on pain relief and restoring normal foot function.
Diabetic Foot Care
We specialize in preventing and treating diabetes-related foot complications, including neuropathy and ulcers. Our care includes regular check-ups, wound care, and patient education to reduce amputation risks and maintain foot health.
Heel Pain
Chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis is treated with rest protocols, stretching exercises, and custom orthotics. We also offer advanced therapies like shockwave treatment for persistent cases to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
Orthotics
Our in-house lab creates custom orthotics to correct gait abnormalities and provide arch support. These devices alleviate pain from flat feet, high arches, and sports injuries while improving overall foot mechanics.
Pediatric Foot Care
We diagnose and treat childhood foot conditions like flat feet, heel pain, and sports injuries. Early intervention with orthotics and physical therapy helps correct developmental issues and prevent long-term mobility problems.
