Services
Foot and Ankle Surgery
Our board-certified podiatrists perform advanced surgical procedures for foot and ankle conditions including bunions, hammertoes, and sports injuries. We utilize minimally invasive techniques like Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction to ensure faster recovery and preserved foot mobility. Patients receive comprehensive pre- and post-operative care tailored to their specific needs.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized care for diabetic patients includes regular foot examinations, wound care, and prevention of complications like neuropathy and ulcers. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools like PADnet vascular testing to monitor circulation and implements proactive treatment plans to maintain foot health and prevent amputations.
Custom Orthotics
Using Fitstation gait analysis technology, we create personalized orthotic devices to correct biomechanical issues and alleviate pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis and flat feet. These custom solutions improve alignment, distribute pressure evenly, and enhance overall foot function for both athletic performance and daily activities.
Regenerative Medicine
We offer cutting-edge regenerative treatments including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections and perinatal tissue therapies to accelerate healing of soft tissue injuries. These non-surgical options stimulate natural tissue repair processes for conditions like tendonitis, ligament damage, and chronic joint pain without requiring invasive procedures.
Laser Therapy
Our MLS Laser Therapy system provides non-invasive pain relief and accelerated healing for inflammatory conditions like plantar fasciitis and nerve pain. This FDA-cleared technology combines wavelengths to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and promote cellular repair without medication or downtime.
