Services
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are prescription shoe inserts designed to correct foot imbalances and alleviate conditions like plantar fasciitis and bunions. These devices provide support, shock absorption, and protection tailored to your specific foot structure. Our advanced laser scanning system ensures a precise fit for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation uses targeted heat to disable pain-causing nerves for chronic foot conditions. This minimally invasive procedure offers long-lasting relief from neuromas and plantar fasciitis without surgery. Patients typically resume normal activities within days with significant pain reduction.
Radial Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy stimulates natural healing for chronic heel pain and plantar fasciitis through soundwave technology. This non-invasive treatment creates new blood vessels and activates stem cells to accelerate tissue repair. Most patients experience improvement after three sessions spaced 7-10 days apart.
Lapiplasty
Lapiplasty is a 3D bunion correction procedure that addresses the root cause of deformities using titanium plates. This advanced surgical technique allows faster recovery compared to traditional methods. It corrects metatarsal misalignment for lasting results and reduced recurrence risk.
MLS Laser Therapy
MLS laser therapy uses dual-wavelength technology to reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing for foot conditions. This painless treatment accelerates recovery for plantar fasciitis and neuropathy. Sessions typically last 10-15 minutes with no downtime required.

Dr. Carlis is kind, easy to talk to and took care of my son's issue and my own issue with compassion, explaining everything well. He provided options that a previous podiatrist did not offer, and I'm very happy with my results! I will be sending all of my family and friends to this office.
