Orthotics
An orthotic is a prescription shoe insert (custom made from an impression of your feet) that prevents abnormal biomechanical motion when weight bearing. This decreases excess shock and shearing motion across the foot to reduce pain and callous formation. Orthotics support the foot in many conditions including diabetes, flat feet, high arches, heel spurs and sports activities. Each patient is an individual and Orthotics are custom made specifically for your foot problem.
Day Surgery
Recent technology and advanced surgery techniques offer several new options. Procedures such as Laser, Bone Fixation, Arthroscopy and Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy can significantly reduce disability and post-operative recovery time. Day surgery allows the patient to undergo a procedure and return home on the same day. No overnight stay is required. Each procedure is an individual matter and is as unique as you are. Our goal is to guide you through a rapid recovery and have you back on your feet in no time.
