How can we help people with disabilities?
To relieve discomfort and prevent pressure areas developing as well as trimming nails for those unable to reach or see their feet, we can provide general podiatry care.
We provide diabetic and arthritic evaluations as well as neurological and vascular assessments with advanced tools and technology.
Custom foot orthotics assist foot deformities, improve alignment and posture, relieve plantar fasciitis, bunions, ball of foot pain, arthritis and other foot disorders or to offload pressure from bony prominences.
We can measure and order medical-grade compression stock and recovery socks for leg swelling and tiredness.
In addition, we offer surgical evaluation, advice and recommendations for warts and ingrown toenails.
