Instead of X-ray film, digital radiography uses a digital image capture device. This gives advantages of immediate image preview and availability; a wider dynamic range, which makes it more forgiving for over- and under-exposure; as well as the ability to apply special image processing techniques that enhance overall display quality of the image.
Shockwave therapy is a device that utilizes low pulse activation waves to injured tissue to promote a fast and effective healing response.
Ultrasounds offer many advantages: They are generally painless and do not require needles, injections, or incisions. Patients aren’t exposed to ionizing radiation, making the procedure safer than diagnostic techniques such as X-rays and CT scans.
Platelet Rich Plasma Injections are a procedure where blood is drawn from the patient and placed in a centrifuge to yield a high concentration of the body’s platelets. Platelets contain many growth factors that are responsible for helping heal complex injuries. The platelets are then injected under ultrasound guidance into the area of injured tissue. Patients are then placed in a CAM walker for approximately two weeks to promote stability in the ankle and foot and to restrict motion and weight bearing activity
Stem Cell Injections are a viable, conservative procedure for patients suffering from foot and ankle pain. When the stem cells are re-injected into the foot and ankle, they enhance the natural repair process of degenerated and injured tendons, ligaments, and arthritic joints reversing the natural breakdown process that occurs from aging, overuse and injury.
The PinPointe Foot Laser is the only FDA approved laser to treat toenail fungus. This safe, painless procedure uses a laser light to target the fungus under the nail and does not harm the surrounding skin. This procedure does not require use of anti-fungal medications, anesthesia or any recovery period. Typically, toenail fungus is cleared up in 1-2 Laser Nail Therapy treatments.
Keryflex provides for cosmetically pleasing nails during most antifungal treatment regimens, delivering immediate and significant cosmetic enhancement after one visit.
Bone Stimulators act by increasing osteoblastic activity across fracture ends and are used for fractures or injuries to bone where increased bone healing is required.
Trans Electrical Nerve Stimulation (“TENS”) Units work by sending stimulating pulses across the surface of the skin and along the nerve strands. The stimulating pulses help prevent pain signals from reaching the brain and also help stimulate your body to produce high levels of endorphins.
Custom orthotics are biomechanical medical devices that are custom made and designed to stabilize the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position to correct foot imbalances.
