MLS Laser Therapy

The newest technology in the office!  MLS Laser Therapy is a completely nonpainful noninvasive way to treat acute or chronic pain.  We use light waves to help stimulate the body’s natural healing potential. We are using it to treat many ailments of the foot and ankle, including plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, and tendonitis.

X-Ray

When you arrive at our office, if you have a bony or biomechanics problem, the doctor will likely order a weight-bearing x-ray of your foot and/or ankle.  A weight-bearing x-ray is important because it shows us what position the foot is in when you are standing/walking.  Many times, we find pathology on a weight-bearing x-ray that was missed when a non-weight-bearing film was performed previously.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound technology is not just for fetuses!  Sonography is used for diagnosis of soft tissue injuries that are not visualized on x-rays.  If you have a sprain, strain, tear or even a foreign body within the foot, the doctor may recommend a diagnostic ultrasound to better evaluate the problem.  Sometimes it can be used therapeutically as well, to help guide an injection for pain relief.

Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are often used to help improve your foot posture.  We employ the use of a digital scan of the feet to capture the intricacies of each foot as a 3-D image.  This can be a simple and long-term solution for your foot pain.
