Diagnostic Care: Your First Step Toward Relief
Before we begin treatment, we use a variety of diagnostic tools to understand what’s going on with your feet and legs beneath the surface. Our onsite testing allows us to quickly and accurately pinpoint the cause of your symptoms so we can create the best treatment plan for you.
Some of our diagnostic tools and methods include:
- Digital X-Rays and Radiographs: We take high-quality images of bones and joints to spot fractures, arthritis, and deformities.
- Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and Sonography: This real-time imaging helps us take a closer look at soft tissue injuries, tendon issues, and cysts.
- Vascular Testing: We’ll check blood flow in your legs and feet to identify circulation issues like PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease).
- Computer Assisted and Video Gait Analysis: Using pressure mapping and video technology, we track how you walk to uncover problems with your balance, alignment, or foot mechanics.
- Nail and Skin Biopsies: If something’s going on with your skin or nails, we’ll take a small sample from the affected area to test for infections, growths, and other issues.
- Lower Extremity MRI (COMING SOON): This state-of-the-art equipment allows us to take detailed imaging for deeper issues in bones, joints, or soft tissue.
Therapeutic Support for Healing
Our approach to pain relief and healing takes you a step above the rest. Using the latest, non-invasive technology, we can help speed up your recovery, reduce inflammation, and manage chronic pain. These treatments are safe, effective, and tailored specifically to you.
Treatments may vary depending on your condition, but could include:
- Laser Therapy: Light energy penetrates layers of soft tissue to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation.
- Shockwave Therapy: Targeted shockwaves are used to break down scar tissue and boost blood flow, which helps to reduce pain and fast-track healing.
- Electrical Stimulation: A mild electrical current is applied to your affected areas to rebuild muscle strength, improve nerve function, and increase blood flow.
- Cold Laser Therapy: This gentle, targeted treatment sends energy pulses at different light wavelengths to specific areas, easing pain and swelling without heat or discomfort.
- Iontophoresis: Using electric stimulation, iontophoresis applies medication into tissues beneath the skin.
- Phonophoresis: This technique uses ultrasound to help medications absorb deeper into the skin.
- Physical Therapy: Our physical therapy office treats the whole body with therapeutic techniques and exercises to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and support long-term recovery.
