Services
Platelet Rich Plasma Injection
PRP therapy uses concentrated platelets from your blood to accelerate healing of chronic foot and ankle injuries. Ideal for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and nonhealing fractures, this treatment leverages growth factors to stimulate tissue repair. Clinical studies show 80-85% success rates where traditional methods fail.
MLS Laser Treatment
MLS Laser Therapy reduces inflammation and pain through targeted light wavelengths. Effective for arthritis, neuropathy, and post-surgical recovery, it enhances cellular metabolism to speed healing. Sessions cost $60-80, with optimal results in 4-6 weeks of biweekly treatments.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
ESWT delivers acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic foot conditions like plantar fasciitis. Non-invasive and FDA-approved, it breaks down scar tissue and promotes blood flow. Typically requires 3-5 sessions for lasting pain relief.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized care for diabetic foot ulcers and circulation issues. Combines regular checkups, debridement, and advanced treatments like Theraskin grafts. Proven to reduce amputation risks by up to 33% through early intervention.
Bunion Correction
Minimally invasive procedures like Lapiplasty correct bunion deformities using IV sedation. Recovery involves 2-4 weeks of limited weight-bearing, with custom orthotics to prevent recurrence. Covered by most insurance plans.

Report
My daughter was referred to Dr. Block. During the first visit he seemed nice and knew what he was doing. After a couple visits he seemed distant and popped off to me. I just assumed that maybe he had something going on in his life. If that is the case I am sorry. But if it isn't, his bed side manor can be approved. He did a procedure on my daughter's foot leaving holes. Then he missed several of the warts. During her 2 week follow up he scolds me for not putting ointment on her open wou d. But in all fairness I just wanted to do exactly as he had said and put on paper. Soak her feet twice daily

Easy to get back to the examining rooms, friendly staff. The only problem I have is getting into the office. I am in a power chair and can't pull the doors open. I have noticed a lot of people are having the same problem when they are using canes or walkers. Maybe an automatic door opener? The staff are quick to come to help with the door but at times they are all busy and can't constantly watch the door to see if someone needs help.

Dr Block and his staff were amazing. I had a bone spur and plantar fasciitis. He tried shots and physical therapy and when they did not produce the results that he wanted., Dr Block performed surgery to remove the spur. Through the entire process Dr Block and staff were very accommodating. Hopefully I won't need his services again but if I have any other foot issues I will definitely come back to him. highly recommend The Bluegrass Foot Center and Dr Block!!
