Services
Sports Podiatry
Specialized treatment for running injuries, triathlon foot conditions, and sports-related trauma. Our Houston practice addresses Achilles tendonitis, stress fractures, and Morton's neuroma using advanced diagnostics and recovery protocols. We serve athletes from high school competitors to Ironman participants, focusing on rapid return-to-play while preventing re-injury through gait analysis and custom orthotics.
Diabetic Foot Care
Comprehensive management of diabetes-related foot complications including ulcer prevention and treatment. Our Houston clinic employs state-of-the-art imaging and pressure-mapping technology to identify nerve damage early. We provide specialized footwear prescriptions and regular check-ups to prevent amputations, combining wound care expertise with patient education for long-term foot health maintenance.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive treatment for chronic heel pain and tendon injuries using acoustic wave technology. This FDA-approved therapy stimulates healing in conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis without requiring downtime. Our Houston office offers this cutting-edge solution for patients seeking alternatives to surgery, with sessions typically lasting under 10 minutes and showing results within four weeks.
Bunion Correction
Advanced treatment options ranging from conservative management to minimally invasive surgical correction. We specialize in Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction for permanent realignment without traditional pinning. Our Houston practice emphasizes pre-surgical optimization and post-operative rehabilitation to ensure optimal functional outcomes and reduced recurrence rates.
Custom Orthotics
Precision-crafted shoe inserts based on digital foot scans and gait analysis. These biomechanical solutions address overpronation, arch collapse, and pressure point issues causing pain. Our Houston clinic offers both rigid and accommodative orthotic options tailored to patient activity levels, from everyday comfort to high-performance athletic applications.

Questions
What's the most common running injury you treat?
Plantar fasciitis accounts for approximately 15% of all running-related injuries we see, often caused by biomechanical imbalances treated through custom orthotics and shockwave therapy.
How do you diagnose heel pain?
We use digital x-rays to check for bone spurs or stress fractures, combined with diagnostic ultrasound to assess soft tissue inflammation like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis.
Can I walk with a stress fracture?
Yes, but continuing activity risks worsening the fracture. We use advanced imaging to confirm diagnosis and implement protective immobilization with fracture boots or scooters.
What makes your diabetic foot care unique?
Our comprehensive approach combines pressure-mapping technology, specialized wound care products, and regular check-ups to prevent complications through early intervention.
Do you accept insurance?
We accept most private insurance plans and Medicare, with transparent pricing options available for uninsured patients through our Houston office.
How soon can I get an appointment?
We prioritize same-day evaluations for acute injuries and offer immediate consultations for chronic pain management, with digital x-ray diagnostics available onsite.
