Our Approach
Comprehensive Evaluation: Our chiropodists conduct a thorough examination of your feet, including a review of your medical history, imaging studies, and biomechanical assessment, to determine the cause of your foot pain. We listen to your concerns and symptoms to develop a comprehensive understanding of your condition.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the findings of the evaluation, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. Treatment options may include:
Conservative Treatments: Non-invasive approaches such as rest, ice therapy, compression, elevation, orthotic inserts, footwear modifications, physical therapy, stretching exercises, and anti-inflammatory medications may be recommended to alleviate pain and promote healing.
Advanced Therapies: For persistent or severe foot pain, we may offer advanced treatment options such as corticosteroid injections, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, regenerative medicine, or nerve blocks to address underlying inflammation, promote tissue repair, and relieve pain.
Minimally Invasive Procedures: In some cases, minimally invasive procedures such as ultrasound-guided injections, percutaneous tenotomy, or radiofrequency ablation may be performed to target specific structures causing pain and dysfunction.
Surgical Intervention: If conservative treatments fail to provide relief or if the condition is severe, surgical intervention may be recommended. Our chiropodists specialize in advanced surgical techniques aimed at correcting foot deformities, relieving pressure on affected structures, and restoring foot function.
Patient Education and Support: We provide personalized education and guidance on foot care practices, injury prevention, footwear selection, activity modification, and self-management strategies to empower you to take an active role in your recovery and long-term foot health.
