Services
Foot and Ankle Surgery
Specialized surgical treatments for complex foot and ankle conditions including bunions, bone spurs, hammertoes, heel pain, and sports injuries. Our board-certified podiatrists perform procedures ranging from minimally invasive techniques to total ankle replacements. Patients benefit from pre-operative consultations, advanced imaging diagnostics, and comprehensive post-operative rehabilitation plans designed to restore mobility and eliminate chronic pain through proven surgical interventions.
Wound Care Center
Comprehensive treatment for chronic lower extremity wounds using evidence-based protocols and advanced skin substitutes. Our wound specialists manage diabetic ulcers, vascular disease complications, and post-surgical wounds through debridement, compression therapy, and regenerative medicine. The center offers in-office grafting procedures and coordinates multidisciplinary care with vascular surgeons and infectious disease specialists to prevent amputations and promote complete healing for complex wound cases.
Stem Cell Therapy
Innovative treatment using amniotic stem cells to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation in foot and ankle injuries. This non-surgical option treats conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and arthritis without the risks associated with steroids or surgery. The procedure involves injecting growth factor-rich amniotic fluid to stimulate natural healing processes, providing long-term pain relief and improved joint function through cellular regeneration and tissue restoration.
Custom Orthotics
Personalized orthotic solutions designed to correct biomechanical imbalances and alleviate foot, knee, and back pain. Using advanced scanning technology, we create custom-molded arch supports that address specific conditions including flat feet, high arches, and sports-related injuries. These prescription devices improve gait patterns, prevent diabetic foot complications, and enhance athletic performance while providing superior comfort compared to over-the-counter alternatives through precisely calibrated support structures.
Laser Therapy
Non-invasive MR4 laser treatment for chronic foot and ankle pain caused by tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and nerve damage. This FDA-cleared technology delivers focused light energy to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation without heat or incisions. Patients receive multiple short sessions that cumulatively promote tissue regeneration, with noticeable symptom improvement typically observed after 4-6 treatments combined with physical therapy interventions.
