OUR SERVICES

Heal Pain

Heel pain often results from conditions like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. Symptoms
include sharp pain or stiffness, especially in the morning. Treatment may involve rest,
stretching, and custom orthotics.

Sports Medicine

Sports medicine focuses on preventing and treating injuries related to most physical activity.
Our podiatry specialists provide comprehensive care, including diagnosis, rehabilitation, and
performance enhancement for athletes of all levels.

Diabetic Foot Care

Diabetic foot care is essential for preventing complications. Regular check-ups, proper footwear,
and daily foot inspections help manage health and reduce the risk of ulcers and infections in
diabetic patients.

Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are specially designed insoles that provide support and alignment for your
feet. They can relieve pain, improve comfort, and enhance performance, customized for
individual needs and foot health.

Achilles Tendon

The Achilles tendon connects calf muscles to the heel, crucial for movement. Injuries can cause pain and swelling, often treated with rest, ice, physical therapy, or custom orthotics for support.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in painful foot conditions. Non-invasive and effective, it enhances blood flow and reduces inflammation, helping patients recover faster from injuries and pain.

Bunions

Bunions are painful bony bumps at the base of the big toe, caused by misalignment. Treatment options include proper footwear, orthotics, and, in severe cases, surgical intervention to alleviate discomfort.

Hammertoes

Hammertoes are deformities where one or more toes bend downward at the middle joint, causing pain and discomfort. Treatment options include stretching exercises, custom orthotics, and, in some cases, surgery.
