Services
Morton's Neuroma
Morton's neuroma treatment addresses nerve thickening between toes using minimally invasive techniques. Our podiatrists employ musculoskeletal sonography to precisely target affected nerves with injections, offering both conservative and surgical solutions. This specialized care helps patients regain pain-free mobility through personalized treatment plans that may include orthotics, padding, or decompression surgery.
Bunions
Bunion treatment combines conservative management with surgical correction for progressive foot deformities. We offer non-invasive options like orthotics and splinting, while advanced cases receive outpatient bunionectomy procedures. Our approach focuses on rapid recovery and preventing complications from misaligned toe structures that cause chronic pain and footwear discomfort.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis treatment resolves heel pain through comprehensive therapies targeting inflamed foot ligaments. Our care includes physical therapy, night splints, corticosteroid injections, and minimally invasive NeuroTherm procedures. We address contributing factors like high arches and occupational stress to provide lasting relief from morning heel pain and mobility limitations.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized diabetic foot care prevents complications from nerve damage and poor circulation. Our preventive treatments include regular checkups, wound monitoring, and patient education on daily foot care. We create individualized plans to manage ulcers and circulation issues, reducing amputation risks through early intervention and comprehensive monitoring.
Wound Care
Advanced wound care treats foot injuries and ulcers with infection prevention and accelerated healing. Our protocols include debridement, antibiotic therapy, and specialized dressings for both traumatic wounds and diabetes-related complications. We provide vigilant post-treatment monitoring to ensure proper healing and prevent recurring issues in high-risk patients.
