Services
Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses a patient's own blood to promote healing in injured tissues. It treats conditions like tendonitis, arthritis, and sports injuries by injecting concentrated platelets into affected areas. This non-surgical option accelerates recovery and reduces pain, offering long-term relief for chronic issues.
Orthotics
Custom orthotics provide tailored support for foot and ankle alignment. They alleviate pain from flat feet, plantar fasciitis, and bunions by redistributing pressure. These devices improve mobility and prevent further injury through biomechanical correction.
Ingrown Toenails
Treatment for ingrown toenails includes non-surgical lifting, partial removal, or full nail excision. Early intervention prevents infection and chronic pain. We address causes like improper trimming and narrow footwear to ensure lasting relief.
Geriatric Foot Care
Specialized care for age-related foot issues like bunions, ulcers, and fungal infections. Services include nail trimming, wound care, and orthotics to maintain mobility. We address diabetes-related complications and prevent severe outcomes through proactive management.
Bunions
Bunion treatment ranges from padding and orthotics to surgical correction. We focus on pain relief and restoring natural foot alignment. Early diagnosis prevents gait changes and secondary joint issues, ensuring long-term foot health.
