Shockwave
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment commonly used for chronic heel pain, plantar fasciitis and tendon-related injuries. It works by delivering targeted sound waves to the affected area, helping to stimulate the body's natural healing response.
Laser Fungal Nail Treatment
Laser therapy is an innovative treatment option used to support the management of fungal nail infections. By targeting the infection within the nail, laser treatment may help improve nail health while complementing a broader treatment plan.
Ingrown Nails
Ingrown toenails are a common condition that can cause pain, swelling and discomfort if left untreated. Early intervention can often help prevent infection and more complex issues from developing.
Diagnostic Ultrasound
Diagnostic ultrasound allows podiatrists to assess muscles, tendons, ligaments and other soft tissue structures in real time. It can provide valuable insights into the cause of pain and help guide treatment recommendations.
