Foot Care
Report
Many podiatric conditions can be healed through progressive treatment options without the use of foot and ankle surgery. Most of these surgeries require you to be immobilized for an extended period of time during recovery and then physical therapy after the cast has been removed.
Wachtel Foot and Ankle believe that surgery should be used as a last resort and do everything in our power to get you active and healthy again with the least amount of interruption to your daily life.

Biomechanics
Report
Biomechanics is a scientific physics-based recognition of how the body works during rest and motion. It provides a method of analyzing the way a person runs, walks and sits, plus an intimate understanding of the altering bone, joint and muscle positions during these activities. The dynamic musculoskeletal functions of the body are achieved through complex interactions between the skeleton, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves.
Custom Foot Orthotics
Report
Orthotics are shoe inserts that help straighten out foot and lower leg irregularities. They are inserted into shoes just like insoles, and they support the foot and correct abnormal joint motion. Orthotics support the arches and can help you regain normal body balance by providing a unique combination of support and cushioning.
Sports Injuries
Report
Many sports injuries that involve the foot, ankle, and spine can be alleviated with podiatry. Traditionally, podiatrists have prescribed custom orthotics, or shoe inserts, to control excessive foot motion. For women in particular, excess pronation can occur with running. This means that the rearfoot tends to turn inwards, causing painful sports injuries like Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and anterior knee pain.
Arch Pain
Report
If you suffer from arch foot pain, then you probably have inflammation or a burning feeling in the arch of your foot. There are several possible causes, including some kind of injury to your foot or a structural imbalance that causes arch pain. But the most common cause is plantar fasciitis. What's the plantar fascii?
