Services
Bunions
Bunions are bony protrusions at the base of the big toe caused by misalignment. Our specialists offer conservative treatments like orthotics and injection therapy to reduce pain, with surgical correction available for severe cases. Customized care plans focus on preventing progression and improving mobility.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe treatment includes shoe modifications, padding, and minimally invasive procedures to relieve pressure. For rigid deformities, outpatient surgery removes bone spurs or releases tight tendons. Early intervention prevents complications like corns and bursitis while maintaining foot function.
Heel Pain
We specialize in diagnosing heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, or nerve irritation. Non-surgical options include shockwave therapy, custom orthotics, and physical therapy. Advanced diagnostics identify root causes to develop targeted treatment strategies for lasting relief.
Orthotics
Custom orthotics are prescribed to correct biomechanical imbalances and alleviate conditions like flat feet or high arches. Using 3D scanning technology, we create personalized arch supports that reduce pressure points and prevent progression of deformities in both adults and children.
Laser Nail Treatment
Our FDA-cleared laser therapy targets fungal infections beneath toenails without damaging surrounding tissue. This painless outpatient procedure eliminates discoloration and brittleness, with visible improvement as new healthy nail growth occurs over several months. Follow-up care prevents recurrence.
