Evaluation and Treatment

Our foot and ankle specialists will develop a personal treatment plan with goals to help you make a full recovery. In cases of cerebral palsy, stroke, head injury and other neuromuscular problems, your condition may require a gait analysis, which will help us identify underlying causes for walking abormalities.

Based on our assessment, your treatment may include (but is not limited to):

  • Bio-mechanical support/therapy
  • Surgical treatment of foot and ankle
  • Treatment for pediatric foot deformities
  • Treatment for trauma injuries
  • Sports injury treatment
  • Chronic deformities treatment
  • Orthotic and brace fitting

Surgery and Other Treatments

If surgery is necessary, our surgeons will help you understand why a procedure is done and why is recommended and how it's done. We’ll also guide you through the rehabilitation process as you recover.

Ankle arthroscopy helps us diagnose and treat problems inside the joint. It requires fewer and smaller incisions, and allows us to accurately diagnose problems. And because it’s minimally invasive, you’ll experience a faster recovery time with less scarring and pain.

Sclerosis injection is used to treat nerve pain and scar therapy.

We also offer other specialized surgical and non-surgical techniques:

  • Deformity reconstruction
  • Diabetic foot and ankle care
  • Toenail disorder treatment
  • Surgical replacement of cartilage
