Lapiplasty Surgery

Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction addresses foot deformities through advanced surgical techniques. This procedure realigns the entire foot structure, providing lasting relief from bunion pain while preserving joint mobility. Patients benefit from faster recovery times compared to traditional methods, with most returning to regular footwear within weeks. Our board-certified surgeons combine technical precision with personalized rehabilitation plans to ensure optimal outcomes.

Custom Orthotics

Custom-molded orthotics correct biomechanical imbalances through personalized foot support. These prescription inserts alleviate conditions like plantar fasciitis and flat feet by distributing pressure evenly across the foot. Unlike generic insoles, our orthotics are crafted from detailed 3D foot scans, ensuring perfect fit and function. Patients report significant pain reduction and improved mobility with consistent use.

MLS Laser Therapy

MLS Laser Therapy reduces inflammation and promotes tissue healing through targeted light energy. This non-invasive treatment effectively manages chronic pain conditions like plantar fasciitis and arthritis without medication. Sessions last 10-15 minutes, with most patients experiencing noticeable improvement within 3-5 treatments. The FDA-cleared technology offers a safe alternative to cortisone injections and surgery.

Wound Care

Specialized wound care prevents complications from diabetic ulcers and chronic injuries. Our UltraMist therapy system delivers painless, effective treatment that promotes healing in hard-to-treat wounds. Board-certified specialists develop individualized protocols combining debridement, advanced dressings, and offloading techniques. Early intervention prevents severe infections that could lead to amputation.

Sports Injury Treatment

Sports injury management addresses foot and ankle trauma in active patients. From stress fractures to turf toe, our treatments combine restorative therapies with performance optimization. Gait analysis identifies biomechanical issues, while custom orthotics prevent recurring injuries. Athletes receive tailored rehabilitation plans to safely return to competition at their peak performance level.

The humor and friendliness along with the knowledge and professionalism of Dr. Wettstein and his staff are beyond reproach. They are kind and knowledgeable, explaining every step of the way, while keeping the mood light and happy. I am going in for surgery in three days and dont have a single fear or feeling of apprehension due to their attitudes, attention to detail and kindness. I wish every doctor took a lesson from Dr. Wettstein and his staff. The medical profession would be in much better shape!
Update: Six weeks post surgery. I couldnt be happier. Im still healing, but I know what
