Ankle Pain
Our clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating ankle pain through comprehensive evaluations using advanced imaging technology. We identify causes ranging from arthritis to sports injuries, creating customized treatment plans that may include physical therapy, bracing, or minimally invasive procedures. Our board-certified podiatrists prioritize conservative treatments before considering surgical options, ensuring optimal recovery with reduced downtime.
Bunions
We offer both conservative and surgical solutions for bunion treatment, including custom orthotics and endoscopic procedures. Our specialists assess each case to determine the most effective approach, from shoe modifications to bone realignment surgery. Post-operative care includes personalized recovery plans to restore mobility and prevent recurrence through biomechanical analysis.
Diabetic Foot Care
Our diabetic foot program focuses on ulcer prevention and infection control through regular check-ups and specialized wound care. We employ vascular assessments and debridement techniques to manage existing ulcers while educating patients on daily foot maintenance. Custom orthotics and protective footwear help prevent complications from neuropathy and poor circulation.
Hammertoe Treatment
We address hammertoe conditions through conservative treatments like splinting and orthotics, or minimally invasive surgery when necessary. Our approach preserves toe function while alleviating pain caused by shoe pressure. Post-treatment rehabilitation focuses on restoring natural toe alignment and preventing muscle imbalances through targeted exercises.
Heel Pain
Our clinic provides comprehensive heel pain solutions including shockwave therapy, custom orthotics, and stretching protocols. We diagnose underlying causes through gait analysis and imaging to create targeted treatment plans. Conservative approaches prioritize inflammation reduction and tissue healing before considering surgical intervention for chronic cases.
