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 involving cerebral palsy, stroke, head injury and other neuromuscular problems, your condition may require a non-invasive GAIT analysis. This test can be done right within our clinic and helps us precisely identify any underlying causes when it comes to walking abnormalities.

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

• Bio-mechanical support/therapy
• Surgical treatment of foot and ankle
• Ankle Joint Replacement
• 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 a viable option, our surgeons will help you understand why a procedure is recommended and how it’s done. We’ll also guide you through the rehabilitation process, which will be tailored to help you recover as quickly as possible.

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
