Services
Ingrown Nails
We specialize in treating ingrown toenails with both conservative and surgical approaches. Our podiatrists provide immediate relief through nail trimming, splinting, or partial nail removal. For chronic cases, we offer permanent solutions like laser therapy to prevent regrowth. Patients receive personalized aftercare instructions to minimize recurrence and maintain foot health.
Heel Pain
Our clinic addresses heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, or stress fractures. Treatment options include custom orthotics, shockwave therapy, stretching exercises, and night splints. We conduct thorough assessments to identify root causes and create targeted plans to alleviate discomfort and restore mobility for active lifestyles.
Bunions
We offer non-surgical and surgical treatments for bunions, including padding, shoe modifications, and orthotics. For severe cases, our surgeons perform minimally invasive procedures to realign bones and reduce pain. Post-operative care focuses on rapid recovery while ensuring long-term structural improvement and comfort during daily activities.
Fungal Nails
Our clinic uses advanced laser therapy to treat fungal nail infections effectively. This non-invasive procedure targets fungi without damaging surrounding tissue. Patients typically see improvement after one session, with full results appearing as the nail grows out over several months. We also provide antifungal care guidance to prevent reinfection.
Warts
We treat plantar warts using microwave therapy and other targeted methods to eliminate viral infections. Treatments stimulate the immune system to fight the wart-causing virus while minimizing discomfort. Follow-up care includes monitoring for recurrence and advising on hygiene practices to reduce transmission risks in communal spaces.
