Services
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are tailored shoe inserts designed to correct foot abnormalities, improve gait, and alleviate pain in the feet, ankles, knees, and back. Our on-site lab uses plaster casting and biomechanical assessments to create durable, personalized solutions for conditions like flat feet, plantar fasciitis, and diabetic foot complications. These devices redistribute pressure, enhance mobility, and prevent further injury, offering long-term relief for both adults and children.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized diabetic foot care addresses nerve damage, poor circulation, and infection risks associated with diabetes. We provide regular check-ups, wound management, and preventive treatments for conditions like ulcers, fungal infections, and neuropathy. Our team educates patients on foot hygiene, proper footwear, and early intervention strategies to avoid severe complications, ensuring comprehensive care that supports overall health and mobility.
Achilles Tendonitis Treatment
Achilles tendonitis treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and pain in the Achilles tendon through biomechanical adjustments, orthotic support, and targeted exercises. We assess gait patterns and foot structure to prescribe custom orthotics that alleviate stress on the tendon. Additional therapies include stretching routines, footwear recommendations, and activity modifications to promote healing and prevent recurrence, enabling patients to resume daily activities pain-free.
Ingrown Toenail Care
Ingrown toenail care involves safe, minimally invasive procedures to relieve pain and prevent infection. Our chiropodists perform partial nail avulsions when necessary and provide aftercare guidance, including soaking techniques and footwear adjustments. We also address underlying causes like improper trimming or tight shoes, offering long-term solutions to reduce recurrence and maintain foot health.
Plantar Fasciitis Relief
Plantar fasciitis relief targets inflammation of the plantar fascia through orthotic support, stretching exercises, and gait analysis. Custom insoles with arch support correct overpronation, while night splints maintain proper foot alignment. We also recommend activity modifications and shock-absorbing footwear to reduce strain, ensuring effective pain management and improved mobility for patients experiencing heel or arch discomfort.
