Services
Bunion Treatment
Our comprehensive bunion treatment addresses misaligned big toe joints through conservative and surgical approaches. We offer custom orthotics, footwear modification guidance, and minimally invasive surgical options including bunionectomy and osteotomy. Treatment plans are tailored to severity, with post-operative rehabilitation support ensuring optimal recovery and long-term foot function improvement.
EPAT Therapy
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) provides non-invasive pain relief for musculoskeletal conditions. This FDA-cleared treatment stimulates blood flow and accelerates healing for chronic heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and tendon injuries. Sessions take 5-10 minutes with no anesthesia required, allowing immediate weight-bearing and return to normal activities within 48 hours.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized diabetic foot care prevents complications through regular check-ups and early intervention. We provide wound care management, custom orthotics, and education on proper foot hygiene. Our team monitors circulation issues and nerve damage to reduce amputation risks while maintaining mobility and quality of life for diabetic patients.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Professional ingrown toenail treatment resolves painful nail conditions through conservative and surgical methods. We offer partial nail avulsion procedures with matrixectomy for permanent correction, along with infection management using topical antibiotics. Post-treatment guidance includes proper nail trimming techniques and footwear recommendations to prevent recurrence.
Heel Pain Relief
Targeted heel pain solutions address plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and stress fractures. Diagnostic imaging helps identify root causes, guiding treatment plans that may include custom orthotics, physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, or extracorporeal shockwave therapy. We emphasize biomechanical correction to alleviate pressure and prevent chronic issues.
