Services
Custom Foot Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are prescription devices molded to your foot's unique structure. They correct biomechanical imbalances affecting feet, ankles, knees, and lower back. Our practitioners use 3D imaging technology to create personalized solutions for improved mobility and pain relief. These orthotics address conditions like plantar fasciitis, flatfeet, and high arches through precise structural support.
Diabetic Foot Assessment
Our diabetic foot assessments evaluate nerve damage, circulation issues, and skin integrity. We combine sensory testing with vascular analysis to create prevention plans for foot ulcers and infections. Patients receive education on daily foot care routines and risk management strategies. Annual assessments help monitor changes and prevent complications associated with diabetes-related neuropathy.
Biomechanical Assessment
Biomechanical assessments analyze foot joint mobility and walking patterns using advanced pressure mat technology. This 150-frames-per-second analysis detects abnormalities in gait and posture that contribute to foot, knee, or back pain. The diagnostic process includes static, dynamic, and postural scans to create comprehensive treatment plans for mechanical imbalances.
Swift Microwave Therapy
Swift Microwave Therapy treats plantar warts with targeted microwave energy. The procedure delivers controlled heat to destroy infected tissue while minimizing discomfort. Most patients experience immediate relief with treatment sessions lasting less than 10 minutes. This non-invasive solution typically requires 1-3 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart for complete lesion resolution.
Nail Bracing
Nail bracing corrects ingrown toenails through custom splints that gently realign nail growth. The non-surgical solution provides instant pressure relief and gradually reshapes the nail over 3-6 months. This method preserves nail integrity while avoiding the need for partial or total nail removal procedures in most cases.

Paid $70 to be told my treatment would cost potentially $1000. I went elsewhere and got much better service and value for my time and money. I personally would not recommend this place.

The staff are friendly and welcoming and provide a professional environment that follows strict COVID-19 safety protocols. Zeba is extremely thorough in her analysis and treatment of her patients needs. Seeing her regularly, she has helped to alleviate my foot pain from corns. I would highly recommend Zeba and her team if youre experiencing foot pain or require regular footcare maintenance.
