Our Specialties
At Total Care Podiatry Services, we treat a variety of conditions, offering expert care in several specialty areas. Our team’s extensive experience and advanced treatments allow us to provide solutions for a broad spectrum of foot and ankle issues.
Foot Deformities at Birth and Later in Life
We understand how important it is to catch and address foot deformities early. Infants can be affected by conditions such as club feet or other congenital foot deformities from birth. If not treated properly, these conditions can impact a child’s mobility and development. Our clinic offers a full range of treatments designed to correct or manage these conditions, allowing children to grow and develop normally.
As individuals age, they may experience foot deformities such as flat feet, high arches, hammer toes, bunion deformities, and other issues that develop later in life. These conditions can cause significant discomfort, pain, and difficulty walking. Our skilled podiatrists provide non-surgical and surgical treatment options, ensuring that each patient receives the most effective care for their condition.
We also treat deformities caused by neurological disorders or strokes, which can further complicate foot and ankle health. No matter the cause or severity, we take a personalized approach to each patient’s care.
Sports Medicine and Performance Enhancement
Sports injuries can significantly affect athletes, whether they’re professionals or weekend warriors. At Total Care Podiatry Services, we specialize in sports medicine to help athletes recover and return to their sport safely. Our comprehensive approach includes complete gait analysis and biomechanical evaluation, which are essential in diagnosing movement abnormalities that may lead to injuries or affect performance.
Our state-of-the-art gait analysis lab provides detailed insights into how you move, helping us identify issues that could contribute to pain or injury. By analyzing walking or running mechanics, we can pinpoint any abnormal patterns and develop a customized treatment plan to improve your movement efficiency and reduce the risk of future injuries. Our performance enhancement program design can also help athletes optimize their strength, flexibility, and endurance, providing a holistic approach to recovery and performance improvement.
As part of our sports medicine offerings, we create custom-made orthotics in our in-house lab. These orthotics are tailored to each patient’s unique foot structure and designed to enhance comfort, improve biomechanics, and support performance goals. Whether recovering from an injury or looking to improve your athletic abilities, we provide solutions catering to your specific needs.
Diabetic Foot Care and Limb Salvage
Managing foot health for individuals with diabetes is critical for preventing serious complications. At Total Care Podiatry Services, we specialize in diabetic foot care, offering comprehensive treatment for common diabetic foot issues such as neuropathy, wound care, and limb salvage. High blood sugar can cause nerve damage, poor circulation, and difficulty healing, making diabetic foot care a crucial part of maintaining overall health.
Our team is experienced in treating diabetic foot ulcers, which can lead to infections or more severe complications if left untreated. We use advanced techniques to treat wounds, minimize the risk of infection, and support the healing process. In cases where severe tissue damage occurs, our limb salvage services aim to preserve as much function as possible, preventing amputations and improving the quality of life for diabetic patients.
Additional Foot Conditions
In addition to the specialized areas mentioned above, we also provide treatment for a variety of other common foot conditions. We offer comprehensive care for issues that can cause discomfort or interfere with your daily activities, from fungal toenails to calluses, warts, and ingrown toenails. Our treatments are designed to relieve pain and prevent recurrence, promoting long-term foot health and comfort.
Fungal toenail infections are a common issue that can affect your nails’ appearance and health. Our treatments for fungal toenails are tailored to the severity of the condition, ranging from topical treatments to more advanced options, ensuring the best chance of a full recovery. Calluses and warts are also common foot ailments that can cause pain and irritation, and we provide effective treatment options to remove or manage these conditions.
