Services
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized foot care for diabetic patients prevents complications through regular screenings and wound treatment. Our podiatrist monitors nerve damage and circulation issues while providing education on foot health maintenance. This service addresses ulcers, infections, and structural changes associated with diabetes.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Minimally invasive procedures treat painful ingrown toenails through partial nail removal and matrixectomy techniques. We provide immediate relief while preventing recurrence through footwear education and nail trimming guidance. Chronic cases receive specialized care to avoid infection risks.
Foot Orthotics
Custom-molded orthotic devices correct biomechanical foot issues and alleviate pain from structural abnormalities. These prescription inserts support proper alignment for conditions like plantar fasciitis and flat feet. We provide both accommodative and functional orthotic solutions tailored to individual needs.
Plantar Fasciitis Therapy
Comprehensive treatment plans address heel pain caused by plantar fascia inflammation. Our conservative approach includes stretching protocols, night splints, and shockwave therapy. We combine physical therapy with footwear modification to resolve chronic heel discomfort without surgical intervention.
Bunion Treatment
Non-surgical management of bunions includes footwear modification and orthotic devices to prevent progression. For severe cases, we perform minimally invasive surgical corrections while emphasizing post-operative rehabilitation. Our approach focuses on pain relief and restoring normal foot function.
