Services
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized treatment for diabetes-related foot complications prevents amputations through regular checkups, wound care, and custom orthotics. Our team manages neuropathy, ulcers, and circulation issues using advanced techniques. Patients receive personalized footwear recommendations and preventive education to maintain mobility.
Bunion Surgery
Minimally invasive and traditional surgical options realign deformed big toes using state-of-the-art fixation devices. We offer personalized recovery plans with postoperative physical therapy coordination. Our approach balances pain relief with aesthetic improvement while preserving joint function.
Custom Orthotics
Computer-molded shoe inserts address biomechanical imbalances causing heel pain, flat feet, or sports injuries. We use high-density ethylene-vinyl acetate materials for durability and comfort. Each pair undergoes gait analysis verification to ensure proper weight distribution.
Ankle Fracture Repair
Comprehensive management of traumatic ankle injuries includes immediate reduction, surgical fixation with plates/screws, and rehabilitation planning. We collaborate with physical therapists to restore mobility after immobilization. Advanced imaging guides precise bone alignment for optimal healing.
Heel Pain Treatment
Non-surgical and surgical interventions target chronic heel discomfort from plantar fascia inflammation. Treatments include shockwave therapy, corticosteroid injections, and endoscopic release procedures. Custom stretching programs accompany all interventions for lasting relief.
