Services
Biomechanical Exam
Our comprehensive biomechanical exams assess foot structure and movement patterns using advanced technology. This diagnostic process identifies alignment issues causing pain or mobility problems through gait analysis, joint function tests, and muscle strength evaluations. Patients receive personalized treatment plans including orthotics, exercises, and footwear recommendations tailored to their specific biomechanical needs.
Laser Fungal Treatment
We offer Lunula cold laser therapy for fungal nail infections using dual wavelengths to target and eliminate fungus. This non-invasive treatment combines 405nm blue light to disrupt fungal cell walls with 635nm red light to stimulate immune response. Clinical studies show 80-97% success rates with minimal discomfort and no downtime required for patients.
Custom Orthotics
Our custom orthotics provide personalized foot support through 3D scanning and pressure plate analysis. These prescription insoles address biomechanical issues like flat feet and plantar fasciitis by redistributing pressure and correcting gait abnormalities. We offer both rigid and flexible options tailored to individual activity levels and footwear requirements.
Diabetic Foot Assessment
Specialized diabetic foot assessments include neurological and vascular testing to prevent complications. Our podiatrists evaluate sensation loss, circulation issues, and footwear suitability while providing education on daily foot care. Early detection protocols help prevent ulcers and infections through regular monitoring and customized prevention strategies.
Sports Podiatry
Sports podiatry services address athletic injuries through biomechanical assessments and performance optimization. We treat conditions like shin splints and stress fractures while providing gait analysis for injury prevention. Treatment plans incorporate orthotics, footwear modifications, and rehabilitation exercises to help athletes return to activity safely and improve overall performance.
