Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Foot and Ankle Conditions
Shockwave Therapy for Chronic Heel and Tendon Pain
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), also called radial pulsewave therapy, is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment that stimulates your body’s natural healing processes. This therapy uses focused acoustic waves to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration.
Shockwave therapy is ideal for:
- Plantar fasciitis, the top cause of persistent pain in the heel
- Achilles tendinitis
- Other soft tissue injuries
Due to its ability to target the underlying injury without medications or surgery, patients often report reduced pain and improved mobility in just a few sessions. There’s no downtime, making this an excellent option for active individuals.
Swift Microwave Therapy for Plantar Warts
Swift Therapy is a revolutionary treatment for plantar warts, offering fast, effective results without the discomfort of traditional methods. Unlike cryotherapy or topical acids, Swift uses microwave energy to heat the tissue and stimulate your body’s immune response. It treats the virus from the inside out, where it lives.
Swift is a clinically approved treatment that’s safe and effective for both adults and children.
Treatment highlights:
- Only 2–3 seconds of energy delivery per wart
- No cutting, freezing, or scarring
- No downtime or aftercare restrictions
Swift is ideal for those who have tried over-the-counter remedies without success and want a reliable, non-invasive option.
Lunula Laser Therapy for Fungal Toenails
Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) can be embarrassing and difficult to treat with topical creams or oral medications. The Lunula Laser provides a safe, painless, and highly effective alternative. It’s a cold laser, meaning no heat or discomfort is involved.
It penetrates beneath the nail to eliminate fungal infections while leaving the surrounding healthy tissue untouched.
Benefits of Lunula Laser therapy:
- Completely non-invasive
- No downtime, side effects, or oral medications
- Promotes new, clear nail growth
Treatment typically involves weekly sessions over several weeks. It’s a great choice for patients looking to restore healthy nails without the risks associated with antifungal pills.
Custom Orthotics with Digital 3D Foot Scanning
Orthotics are one of the most effective solutions for correcting biomechanical issues that lead to chronic pain. Using a state-of-the-art-scanner, we capture a precise 3D image of your foot, including pressure points, arch height, and gait abnormalities. This quick, painless process ensures your orthotics are designed with accuracy, tailored specifically to the unique shape and movement of your feet.
Thanks to our on-site scanning process, most patients even receive their fully customized orthotics in as little as 48 hours, a significantly faster turnaround than traditional lab methods.
These prescription devices help:
- Improve foot and ankle alignment
- Alleviate heel pain, arch pain, and ball-of-foot pain
- Prevent injury in athletes and active individuals
Whether you’re struggling with flat feet, overpronation, or recurring injuries, custom orthotics provide long-term support and comfort, customized just for your feet.
On-Site Digital X-Rays and Ultrasound Imaging
Getting a fast and accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment and lasting relief. That’s why our offices are equipped with digital X-ray and ultrasound imaging, offering real-time insights that speed up the treatment process.
We also provide ultrasound-guided injections, which improve the accuracy of treatments like corticosteroids and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
On-site imaging helps us:
- Identify fractures, arthritis, or soft tissue injuries quickly
- Eliminate the need for outside imaging referrals
- Deliver immediate results and personalized care
