Services
Plantar Fasciitis
Report
Plantar fasciitis is the most frequently encountered cause of plantar heel pain (I suffered with it for 6 weeks!). For many years pain in this region has been incorrectly termed the "heel spur syndrome". It would be better termed a "plantar heel pain syndrome". While heel spurs sound ominous, they can be present (50% percent of the population has one) and not cause any pain.
Achilles Tendinitis
Report
Achilles tendinitis is an overuse injury of the Achilles (uh-KILL-eez) tendon, the band of tissue that connects calf muscles at the back of the lower leg to your heel bone. Achilles tendinitis most commonly occurs in runners who have suddenly increased the intensity or duration of their runs. It's also common in middle-aged people who play sports, such as tennis or basketball, only on the weekends.
Conditions Treated
Report
Heel pain can occur when the thick band of tissue that runs under the sole of the foot becomes inflamed. It's a common running injury. Heel pain and stiffness can also sometimes be caused by damage or tightness of the Achilles tendon, which runs up the back of the heel. This can occur gradually over a long period of time, or the tendon can suddenly rupture or tear.
AmnioFix
Report
AmnioFix is a human-derived "composite amniotic tissue membrane" that's created from healthy consenting mothers who have undergone scheduled cesarean sections. The donated tissue has been cleaned, dehydrated and sterilized. It's then blended with sterile saline to create an injectable solution that has remarkable healing capabilities.
TOPAZ® Coblation
Report
Topaz Coblation therapy is a medical procedure that treats long standing chronic Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis. In the procedure, we use a special needle-like wand to create two or three dozen small holes, a quarter inch apart, in a grid pattern over the plantar fascia. As the wand enters the skin and fascia, it emits a small burst of radio wave energy, which creates a tiny cut and removes a small amount of tissue.
