Services
Heel Pain Treatment
Our specialists diagnose and treat heel pain using advanced techniques like TOPAZ radio frequency therapy and HealthLight infrared treatment. We address causes ranging from plantar fasciitis to Achilles tendonitis, providing custom orthotics and evidence-based treatment plans. With rapid diagnostic capabilities through our in-house pathology lab, we deliver targeted solutions for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.
Ingrown Toenails
We offer comprehensive treatment for ingrown toenails, from conservative management with splinting to partial nail removal procedures. Our approach emphasizes infection prevention and long-term solutions, particularly for diabetic patients requiring specialized foot care. Education on proper nail trimming and footwear selection helps prevent recurrence.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Our diabetic foot ulcer treatment combines advanced wound care techniques with preventive education. Using amnion therapies and regular monitoring, we help patients manage neuropathy-related complications. Same-day appointments ensure prompt treatment to prevent serious infections requiring hospitalization.
Sports Injuries
We specialize in sports-related foot and ankle injuries including stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendonitis. Treatment incorporates regenerative medicine techniques like amniotic membrane therapy alongside traditional approaches. Our specialists provide return-to-play guidance and injury prevention strategies for athletes.
Nail Fungus Treatment
Our PCR testing enables precise diagnosis of toenail fungus types, allowing targeted treatment plans. We offer both topical and oral antifungal therapies combined with patient education on hygiene practices to prevent reinfection, particularly for high-risk diabetic patients.
