Heel Pain
Heel pain is one of the most common reasons why patients come to see us. Successful treatment requires a thorough evaluation for proper diagnosis to create an effective treatment plan. We have onsite digital X-rays, diagnostic ultrasound and a cutting edge class 4 laser. We are one of the only medical offices in the area to provide the most effective options to eliminate heel pain.
Foot & Ankle Injuries
Foot and ankle trauma can involve a combination of tissues such as the bones, joints and soft tissue in and around your foot and ankle.
In such injuries the bones and joints can break or you may suffer from a hairline fracture, and tissues can stretch or tear. We provide a comprehensive series of treatments, and will do our best to keep you as mobile and active as the injury allows.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical, noninvasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses high energy shockwaves to reduce musculoskeletal pain. The term shockwave refers to high energy sound waves. This non-invasive technique uses shockwaves to treat various muscular and soft tissue problems of the foot and ankle to stimulate the body's own natural healing process to speed up healing.
Foot & Nail
Therapy & Rejuvenation
Our patients love the special therapeutic massage and whirlpool treatment we provide. We perform reduction of painful fissures and thickened skin, problematic issues such as small growths, fungal and thickened toenails. Your feet have never felt this good!
Laser Treatment
We are one of the only medical offices in the area to offer the newest and most advanced laser technology for painless and effective pain relief with no side effects. 4 to 8 sessions have shown vast improvement for patients with arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, peripheral neuropathy, sprains & strains, sports and occupational injuries.
Pediatric Foot Care
Does your child walk with their toes pointing inward? Do they get ingrown nails, itchy or smelly feet? Do you suspect they may have plantar warts? Do they have heel pain? We can diagnose and treat these and other problems, educate you and your child on how to solve the problem. If your child plays sports, it is possible for them to develop overuse/stress-related injuries. Custom made orthotic devices can help prevent future injuries and/or issues relating to mal-alignment of foot bones during growing years.
Orthotic Devices
Orthotics are similar to prescription glasses for your feet, and thus should be made accurately and with care. The science behind making orthotics may entail the evaluation of the biomechanics of the feet, ankles, knees and hips, and should always be complemented with a thorough gait analysis. We specialize in the fabrication of a myriad of orthotic devices for all ages.
Sports Injuries
Sports injuries involve bony as well as soft tissue injuries. These require thorough examination and an understanding of a scientific approach. All tissues have a timeline for healing, then get rehabilitated and then maintained so as to prevent recurrences. We provide an educational approach to assist you in healing in a timely manner, helping you prevent recurrence of injuries.
Surgical
Surgical options are always explored with patients after having exhausted conservative measures. Surgeries can be complicated or quite simple, depending on the pathology present, in addition to many other factors .
Diabetic
One of the first signs and symptoms of diabetes can be first seen in your feet. We have a very comprehensive approach to treating our diabetic patients. This involves bringing awareness and understanding how diabetes and its side effects affects our body.
X-Rays
We offer digital X-rays. We can process X-rays in minutes, read them and discuss the pathology present at the time of your visit, saving time and money. Digital X-rays are much better than plain films because we can enlarge, enhance, and pinpoint areas of concern. Treatment can begin immediately, facilitating a speedier recovery.
Diagnostics
Our diagnostic ultrasound unit is excellent for examining and diagnosing soft tissue pathology that X-rays are not able to “see.” Having a combination of ultrasound and X-rays helps us diagnose and treat immediately. This procedure does not require pre-authorization or pre-certification.
