Bunions

Bunions develop from a variety of factors including heredity, shoe gear and previous injuries. The condition usually worsens through the second and third decades.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick, ligament-like band that runs from the ball of your foot all the way to your heel.

Hammertoe

Hammertoe is the buckling and curling of the toe joints so that they resemble a hammer. This condition is caused by a muscle imbalance or tight tendons.

Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations in the United States, and approximately 14-24 percent of patients with diabetes who develop a foot ulcer will require an amputation.

Laser Treatment for Toenail Fungus

The patented PinPointe FootLaser is a specially designed laser beam that goes through the toenail and safely kills the organisms embedded in the nail bed that cause Onychomycosis – more commonly known as toenail fungus.

Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown nails, the most common nail impairment, are nails whose corners or sides dig painfully into the soft tissue of nail grooves, often leading to irritation, redness, and swelling.

Achilles Tendinitis

Excessive exercise or walking commonly causes Achilles tendonitis, especially for athletes. However, factors unrelated to exercise may also contribute to your risk. Rheumatoid arthritis and infection are both linked to tendonitis.

Ankle Sprain

An ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries. This is an injury to one or more ligaments in the ankle.  The ligaments most commonly affected in the ankle are on the outside (lateral) aspect of the ankle.

Athlete’s Foot

Athlete’s foot is characterized by a skin infection caused by fungus. This type of infection can develop on any place in the body, but is referred to as athlete’s foot when it develops on the feet.
