Services
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are prescription shoe inserts that correct foot imbalances and alleviate conditions like plantar fasciitis and bunions. These personalized devices provide support, shock absorption, and protection by maintaining proper foot alignment. Our advanced laser scanning technology ensures precise measurements for optimal comfort and functionality in various footwear types.
Diagnostic Ultrasound
Diagnostic ultrasound provides non-invasive imaging of foot and ankle soft tissues to identify issues like tendonitis and neuromas. This quick, painless procedure uses gel and a handheld probe to visualize internal structures during your appointment, enabling accurate diagnosis and immediate treatment planning for conditions causing heel pain or soft tissue damage.
Digital X-Rays
Digital x-rays offer rapid, low-radiation imaging of foot and ankle bones to diagnose fractures and structural abnormalities. This in-office technology produces immediate digital images that help determine precise treatment plans. Compared to traditional film x-rays, digital versions allow faster diagnosis while minimizing radiation exposure for safer, more efficient patient care.
Sports Medicine
Our sports medicine specialists treat athletic injuries using conservative approaches and advanced therapies like radial shockwave treatment. We address conditions such as ankle sprains and plantar fasciitis through biomechanical assessments and personalized rehabilitation plans. With doctors who are former athletes themselves, we understand performance demands and focus on returning patients to activity safely.
Pediatric Podiatry
Pediatric podiatry addresses developmental foot conditions in children, including flat feet and gait abnormalities. We evaluate and treat growing foot structures with conservative interventions like orthotics while monitoring developmental milestones. Our approach considers children's unique biomechanics to correct issues early and prevent long-term complications through specialized care for growing feet.
