Yes, but the possibility of recurrence of a deformity is small. The greatest risk there is would be about a 20% chance. However, we mitigate this risk by obtaining sufficient correction.

For cash pay options the price is $180. If you have an insurance that we’re contracted with then you would only pay a required deductible and copay.

Orthotics do not actually correct foot problems, but they do in fact essentially bring the floor up to the foot. When this is done the foot is able to be plantigrade on an unyielding surface. 

Custom made: Last for about 10 years with a lifetime warranty. Over-the-counter: Last for about 1-2 years and do not have any warranty.

Bunions are genetic in essence. There is not any known preventative treatment for a bunion deformity. If your bunion is not painful I don’t recommend treating it unless it becomes uncomfortable in shoes. If you have a painful bunion deformity, then consider having it surgically addressed as there is very little that conservative treatments can do.

We do not have payment plans, but we do have discounted cash pay options for patients who wish to pay cash only and are concierge.

Careplus needs PCP referral. Any routine foot care needs PCP referral.

Common symptoms: Pain in the tendon while walking. Pain right behind the heel bone. There are two types of achilles tendinitis. Insertional vs non-insertional. It is treated with physical therapy as well as anti-inflammatories and if this fails, we can perform a minimally invasive technique called the Zadek osteotomy to decrease tension on the achilles tendon. This is specifically done for insertional tendinitis that fails conservative treatment which is about 40-50% of a chance. 

Fill out some patient forms and be greeted with a warm welcome! Arrive 15 min early to fill out forms for medical history.

Yes, 95% of patients get better with stretching exercises and deep plantar fascial massage. Only 5% may require surgery.

Once per year for regular walking, for runners shoes should be changed every 300-500 miles.

Orthotics, anti-inflammatories, certain types of splints and durable medical equipment, physical therapy, injections and lifestyle modifications/stretching and strengthening.

If your arch is collapsing and foot/ankle alignment begins to change along with the development of pain it is time to see a doctor for your flat foot/feet. 

Any signs of infection such as swelling, pain, purulence, or redness. If you have significant pain and cannot walk more than 5 steps on one extremity it would be a good idea to see a foot and ankle specialist. Pain with every step of walking is also good to have checked by a foot and ankle expert.

Yes, resistance band exercises are great for these ailments. Strengthening the ankles in all four directions of dorsiflexion,inversion, eversion and plantarflexion is the best way to strengthen ankles. In addition, everyone should be attending classes or a physical fitness gym to do calf exercises and balance training for strengthening of ankles and working on proprioception.

Minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery. Surgeries can now be done with 2-3 mm incisions, and not with any large incisions anymore. Through these small, “key-hole” incisions we can place a burr to achieve the same outcome as open surgery without disrupting almost any of the soft tissues. This decreases the risk of post-op infection, pain and recovery time. Union rates are much higher with these techniques and patient satisfaction is also very high. 

Take lots of Vitamin D, 5000 U/day. Maintain a healthy diet and body weight and be able to walk up five floors of stairs without significant difficulty. 

Diabetic shoes. They are made especially for soft feel/offloading high pressure areas.

It greatly does. From a biomechanical standpoint as well as a systemic and vascular standpoint. Ensuring to eat a healthy diet with animal product consumption in moderation, eating lots of fruits and vegetables, and regularly exercising. Exercise is great if it can be performed at moderate to high intensity for 30-60 minutes per day for 5 times per week.

Heel spurs are in fact not bone outgrowth. They are signs of degeneration within a tendon or a ligament. These are treated NOT by removal but by carefully selected surgical techniques that are minimally invasive that would treat the underlying diagnosis.
