Heel Pain Relief

Our specialized heel pain treatment combines advanced diagnostics with targeted therapies like shockwave treatment and custom orthotics. Patients receive comprehensive assessments to identify root causes such as plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinopathy. With personalized care plans incorporating both conservative and surgical options, we help patients regain mobility and eliminate chronic discomfort through evidence-based interventions.

Custom Orthotics

We offer precision-crafted orthotic solutions using digital scanning technology for optimal foot alignment and pressure distribution. Our Quadrasteps System matches prefabricated orthoses to individual foot types, effectively addressing conditions from flat feet to knee and back pain. This tailored approach ensures maximum comfort and functional improvement for both athletic and everyday activities.

Diabetic Foot Care

Our comprehensive diabetic foot management program prevents and treats complications through regular check-ups, wound care, and custom footwear solutions. Certified specialists utilize vascular testing and advanced wound healing techniques to reduce amputation risks.

Limb Salvage

Our limb salvage program combines surgical expertise with innovative techniques to preserve foot function and avoid amputation. Using advanced imaging and vascular assessments, we develop multidisciplinary treatment plans incorporating wound care, bone grafting, and specialized bracing. This approach helps patients maintain mobility and quality of life through comprehensive reconstructive interventions.

Stem Cell Therapy

We utilize cutting-edge stem cell treatments to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation for chronic foot conditions. This regenerative approach offers non-surgical alternatives for tendon injuries and joint pain, promoting natural healing through concentrated growth factors.

My new patient appointment could not have been a better experience! From making my appointment over the phone to checking in to my visit, the staff was professional and courteous. My X-rays were taken (wish I could remember her name) right away and I was explained each step with patience and efficiency.
Dr Vonherbulis took the time i needed to explain my diagnosis and we made a game plan, answering all my questions and concerns without being rushed. I will highly recommend he and his staff!!!!

First class operation from the greeting at the front desk to the chart updates and finally the Podiatrist. I see Dr. Vonherbulis, who is personal, professional and has been a great help with helping me with diabetic foot care. Highly recommend this Podiatry Group.

The office is outstanding. I use West Coast Podiatry through a V.A. referral and i cant say how lucky I was the V.A. Referred my to them. Dr. Stroud and his team have fixed a foot issue that multiple doctors have missed. I would (and have) recommended West Coast Podiatry to anyone.

Due to neuropathy in my feet, I was having difficulty walking, severe balance issues and I'd fallen. Dr. Z recommended medical food (pills with specific ingredients to help neuropathy), physical therapy and a liquid roll-on product (J2 Cold Therapy) to apply to feet. There was no magic cure-all but I am in a MUCH better place than when I first came to West Coast Podiatry. My balance problems were much improved to physical therapy - I no longer need a cane to get around. Realistically I can't imagine a better outcome and if I develop any future problems I will definitely return to Dr. Z.
