Services
Advanced Wound Care
Our specialized wound healing centers combine medical expertise with innovative therapies to treat complex lower extremity wounds. Using advanced techniques like hyperbaric oxygen therapy and bioengineered tissues, we focus on preventing amputations and restoring mobility for diabetic and vascular patients. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive care for chronic wounds that haven't responded to conventional treatments.
Scarless Bunionectomy
This minimally invasive procedure corrects bunions through small incisions without traditional bone cutting. Patients experience faster recovery times, reduced scarring, and immediate weight-bearing capability. Our surgeons use advanced imaging and specialized instruments to realign foot anatomy while maintaining natural joint function and aesthetics.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive treatment using acoustic waves to stimulate healing for chronic foot conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. This FDA-approved therapy promotes tissue regeneration and pain relief without surgery or medication, with most patients seeing improvement after three sessions spaced one week apart.
Physical Therapy
On-site physical therapy services focus on restoring mobility and function after foot or ankle injuries. Our licensed therapists develop personalized rehabilitation programs incorporating manual therapy, gait training, and specialized techniques like dry needling to accelerate recovery and prevent future complications.
Diabetic Foot Care
Comprehensive management of diabetes-related foot complications including regular screenings, wound care, and preventive treatments. Our team specializes in limb salvage techniques and patient education to reduce amputation risks through early detection of neuropathy and circulation issues.

Report
I am so happy that I found Family Foot & Leg Center. Dr Pelucacci is just the kindest and caring person. Together with her assistant Mariallane and Josh my appointment was perfect. Josh greeted me and helped get me settled in. A really fine young man with a friendly and kind manner. Dr. Pelucacci and Mariallane were wonderful and made me feel completely comfortable. I only wish the office had a mask mandate policy. As an older person I am not comfortable seeking treatment where masks are optional while we are still in the midst of a pandemic.

What a great experience from check in to check out. Dr Pelucacci and the entire staff were friendly, welcoming and yet extremely professional. As a physician myself, I was impressed by the thoroughness of the exam and time spent including me in the decision making. I just hope patients who have seen me in the past had as great an experience as I did with this visit.
