Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis causes heel pain from inflamed connective tissue. We offer treatments like orthotics, physical therapy, and radio frequency lesioning for chronic cases. Our approach focuses on reducing inflammation and restoring mobility through personalized care plans.
Ankle Sprains
We treat acute and chronic ankle sprains with R.I.C.E. therapy, bracing, and surgical options for severe ligament damage. Our care prevents long-term instability and helps patients regain strength through targeted rehabilitation programs.
Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis results from overuse injuries. We provide rest protocols, orthotics, and surgical repair for tears. Our treatments aim to reduce pain and prevent re-injury through customized recovery plans and activity modification guidance.
Neuropathy
We address neuropathy symptoms like burning and numbness through medication management and advanced therapies. Our care focuses on identifying root causes such as diabetes while improving daily function and reducing medication dependence.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy uses light energy to reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing. We incorporate this non-invasive treatment for chronic pain conditions, offering patients drug-free alternatives to improve mobility and comfort during daily activities.

Report
As a teacher who stands on conrete floors for 7 hrs a day (for the past 10 years) my feet have been thru a few podiatrists. This one is the first doctor who did not push surgery, took the time to thoroughly examine both feet and explain possible vitamin deficiencies that cause inflammation. Then took time to fit braces on both feet and explained it all way through. I'm very impressed, so glad I chose this clinic!
