Services
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy treats chronic foot conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. This non-invasive treatment stimulates healing through targeted acoustic waves. Clinical studies show 80-90% improvement rates for heel pain conditions.
Custom Orthotics
Individually prescribed orthotics correct biomechanical imbalances through precise non-weightbearing casting techniques. These devices alleviate pain from flat feet, high arches, and gait abnormalities by optimizing foot function.
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Comprehensive management of plantar fasciitis includes diagnostic imaging, gait analysis, and multi-modal treatment plans. We combine conservative therapies with advanced options like Shockwave Therapy for persistent cases.
Gait Evaluation
Computerized gait analysis identifies abnormal movement patterns contributing to foot and ankle problems. This assessment guides treatment decisions for conditions like shin splints and chronic ankle instability.
Pediatric Foot Care
Specialized assessment and treatment of developmental foot conditions in children. We address concerns like in-toeing, flat feet, and sports-related injuries through conservative, growth-appropriate interventions.

Questions
What conditions does Shockwave Therapy treat?
Shockwave Therapy effectively treats chronic heel pain (plantar fasciitis), Achilles tendonitis, patellar tendinitis, and other musculoskeletal conditions involving connective tissue attachments.
How many Shockwave Therapy sessions are needed?
Most patients require 3-5 weekly sessions, with each 10-15 minute treatment delivering measurable improvement in pain and mobility.
Are custom orthotics covered by insurance?
Many extended health plans cover custom orthotics when prescribed by a podiatrist. Check with your provider for specific coverage details.
Can children benefit from podiatric care?
Yes, we provide specialized assessments for pediatric foot conditions including developmental abnormalities, gait issues, and sports-related injuries.
Is a referral required for treatment?
No referral is needed to schedule a podiatry appointment. Self-referrals are welcome for both diagnostic assessments and treatment planning.
What makes your orthotics different?
We use non-weightbearing casting techniques proven in medical literature to create functional orthotics that correct biomechanical imbalances more effectively than weightbearing methods.

Report
Dr. Lindsey had custom orthotics made for me in 2016. They worked great but it's now time for some new ones. I recently called his clinic with some questions. He spoke to me directly and patiently answered all of my questions. I highly recommend this clinic. The receptionist is also very nice.

Couldn't have had a better experience. The podiatrist was very personable and knowledgeable. The receptionist was incredibly helpful and accommodating with appointments and benefit claims. It's been a year and the orthotics have been fantastic. Thank you!

Report
We had orthotics made but they did not work and the podiatrist did not listen to us when we told him he need to put a lift in one shoe and therefore it was not there and threw his back out. We were refunded but 5 years later my spouse had a problem and they refused us service because the receptionist (whom I believe is Dr. Lindsay's wife) said we were rude to her. I can't believe she has that long of a memory and that perhaps we were having some family issues at the time. I would not recommend this podiatrist. Poor customer service

They are all so kind and helpful there and Dr Lindsey helped adjust my orthotics at the last minute for my Camino. This will make my long walk so much better. Big thanks
