Services
Ingrown Toenails
Specialized treatment for ingrown toenails includes conservative management and minor surgical procedures. Our board-certified podiatrists use sterile techniques and local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort during removal. Post-treatment care instructions include infection prevention measures and footwear recommendations. This service addresses both acute pain relief and long-term prevention strategies.
Plantar Fasciitis
Comprehensive management approach combining physical therapy, custom orthotics, and inflammation reduction techniques. Treatment plans address contributing factors like gait abnormalities and improper footwear. Patients receive personalized stretching routines and activity modification guidance. Advanced cases may qualify for shockwave therapy or night splinting interventions.
Custom Orthotics
Custom-molded arch supports are created following 3D foot mapping and gait analysis. These prescription devices correct biomechanical imbalances causing pain in feet, ankles, and knees. Patients receive follow-up adjustments to ensure optimal fit and function. Materials range from flexible options for athletes to rigid supports for structural correction.
Bunions
Conservative and surgical management options available for bunion deformities. Non-invasive treatments include shoe modification and padding techniques. Surgical correction employs minimally invasive techniques when necessary. Patient education focuses on preventing progression through proper footwear selection and activity modifications that reduce joint stress.
Toenail Fungus
Laser treatment combined with topical antifungal therapy addresses persistent toenail fungus. The non-invasive procedure targets fungal organisms without damaging surrounding tissue. Treatment plans incorporate footwear sanitation practices and moisture control strategies. Follow-up care monitors regrowth of clear nail tissue over several months.
