Services
Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction
Lapiplasty is an advanced bunion correction procedure that addresses the root cause of bunions through 3D realignment. This minimally invasive surgery stabilizes the corrected bone structure using titanium plating systems, offering faster recovery times and reduced recurrence risks. Patients benefit from permanent correction of bunion deformities while maintaining natural joint motion.
Swift Microwave Therapy
Swift therapy uses microwave energy to target and eliminate plantar warts by stimulating the body's immune response. This non-invasive treatment requires no topical applications or home care, with sessions lasting less than five minutes. Patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
MLS Laser Therapy
MLS Laser Therapy combines anti-inflammatory and analgesic wavelengths to reduce pain and swelling in foot and ankle conditions. This non-thermal laser treatment promotes tissue repair and improves circulation without invasive procedures. Patients receive targeted relief for chronic pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical recovery.
Custom Orthotic Therapy
Custom orthotics are prescription shoe inserts designed to correct biomechanical imbalances and alleviate foot pain. Using advanced scanning technology, we create personalized arch supports that improve gait efficiency and reduce pressure points. Patients receive durable, tailored solutions for conditions like plantar fasciitis and diabetic foot complications.
Pediatric Foot Care
Our pediatric foot care addresses developmental concerns and sports-related injuries in children. Gentle treatments focus on correcting gait abnormalities, managing growing pains, and treating common conditions like flat feet. We employ child-friendly approaches to ensure comfortable experiences while promoting long-term foot health.

Dr Pignetti gave me a thorough explanation of the cause of my ongoing foot pain. He took the time to show me my x-rays while going over different treatment options and did not make me feel rushed. I was seen in a timely manner and his staff was very friendly. I definitely would recommend him.
