Services
Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy treats foot and lower leg pain through non-invasive tissue repair stimulation. This service reduces inflammation and accelerates healing for conditions like tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. Patients receive targeted treatments lasting 10-15 minutes with measurable pain reduction effects lasting 48 hours.
Gait Analysis
Our 4-camera PediGait system captures walking patterns from multiple angles to diagnose movement abnormalities. This analysis identifies causes of foot, knee, and back pain while guiding orthotic prescriptions. The digital recording allows frame-by-frame review for precise treatment planning.
Manual Foot Therapy
Specialized joint manipulations improve mobility in arthritic or stiff feet through hands-on techniques. This therapy addresses neuroma pain and structural imbalances by restoring natural foot mechanics. Complementary exercises enhance treatment effectiveness for long-term mobility improvement.
Custom Orthotics
Prescription orthotics are crafted from 3D foot impressions to correct biomechanical issues. These devices redistribute pressure, alleviate pain, and improve alignment for conditions like flat feet and high arches. Proper footwear integration ensures optimal therapeutic outcomes.
Diabetic Foot Care
Comprehensive diabetic foot assessments identify circulation issues and nerve damage risks. We implement preventive strategies including pressure mapping, nail care, and footwear recommendations to prevent ulcers and complications requiring specialized monitoring.
