We are proud to announce our DIGITAL X-RAY which provides great detail and aids in diagnosing the most severe foot injuries and pathology.
We have our New 3-D IPAD orthotic scanner from Bio Orthopedic Laboratory. This machine allows us to take a precise 3-D image of both feet. This image is scanned and sent immediately to our orthotic Laboratory where a custom orthotic is produced to help alleviate various foot pains including: plantar fasciitis, flat feet, neuromas, foot bursitis and tendonitis, high arches and Achilles tendonitis.
Our third state of the art device is the REMY Class IV laser which helps us treat onychomycosis commonly known as toenail fungus, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis and wart removal. The laser treatment is not a covered service by insurance. We have reasonable cash fees to treat 1 infected toe to 10 toes. The treatments include 3 or more laser treatments to eradicate the fungus and return your toes to their happy healthy state so you can wear sandals and open toed shoes again confidently! The laser also has treatment options to treat plantar fasciitis (arch and heel pain), tendonitis, Achilles pain and neuromas prior to considering cortisone injections or other surgical procedures. Using the laser gives an option to avoid surgery, injections and allows you to return to your activities with less pain.
Our fourth innovative treatment option is EPAT, ESWT & EMTT shockwave therapy provided by Storz medical distributed by Curamedix. This technology allows us to treat acute and chronic (3-6 months or more) plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis and other foot, ankle and leg ailments. No needles, no anesthesia and patient can return to daily activities. It generally requires 3-6 visits 1 week apart. This treatment option is not covered by insurance. We use this service to help prevent people from having to go to surgery.
