Laser Therapy for Foot and Ankle Pain
We are pleased to offer our patients a revolutionary advancement in treating painful nerve, soft tissue and musculoskeletal conditions in the foot and ankle. In our clinic we use the Avicenna (AVI HPLL-12) Class IV High Power Therapeutic Laser to treat many common painful foot and ankle conditions. This laser is the deepest penetrating therapeutic laser on the market and the benchmark that all other therapeutic lasers are compared to. Our high power therapeutic laser provides a non-surgical and painless treatment for such conditions as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, nerve pain, neuromas, neuropathy, ankle sprains, pain following surgery, sprains/strains, non-healing wounds, tarsal tunnel syndrome(carpal tunnel of the foot), foot pain, stress fractures, arthritis pain, achy/stiff joints, arch pain, muscle and ligament tears to name a few. Medical outcomes come from the laser's ability to "bio-stimulate" tissue growth and repair. This results in accelerated wound healing as well as a dramatic decrease in pain, inflammation, and scar tissue fromation. Unlike all other treatment modalities, laser therapy actually "heals" tissue as well as providing a powerful non-addicitve and side effect free form of pain management. Why let pain prevent you from doing the things you enjoy most? Laser therapy can provide long-term relief of pain symptoms to help you do the things you enjoy. Ask us today if this revolutionary advancement in pain management is right fot you.
PADnet+ (Peripheral Arterial Disease Diagnostic Test)
Peripheral Arterial Disease, known as P.A.D., is a common, yet serious disease that is extremely under diagnosed. P.A.D. occurs when there is a build up of cholesterol and plaque in the arteries of the lower extremities, causing decreased blood flow to the legs and feet. Just like build up in the heart, clogged arteries in the lower extremities can cause stroke or heart attack. Luckily today there is a new, non-invasive diagnostic test(PADnet) that we can perform that can detect if you are at risk.
PADnet is a diagnostic test that can provide early detection of P.A.D. The PADnet detects blockages in arteries and the quality of blood flow using pulse volume recordings and segmental blood pressure measurements. The results from the test will allow your doctor to determine the best treatment options. Click on the links below to learn more and to see if you may be a candidate for the PADnet diagnostic test.

DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND
In our continuing effort to provide our patients with the best in podiatric care we are proud to offer diagnostic ultrasound imaging of the foot and ankle right in our office. Much the way x-rays are used in our office to diagnose deformities and fractures of the bones, ultrasound can be instrumental in diagnosing soft tissue abnormalities of the foot such as cysts, abscesses, foreign bodies, neuromas, and ligament or tendon tears and ruptures. In addition, ultrasound can be used to assess healing as it progresses and even aid in the treatment such as guiding the needle into a specific joint or area of inflammation. Having this important diagnostic tool in our office will save our patients time and money because it will decrease the number of follow up visits by eliminating the need to drive to a radiology center and return at a later date for follow up and results.
Dr. Beck and Dr. Deiboldt have received extensive training and are certified in the use of diagnostic ultrasound.
SANDAL AND CLOG ORTHOTICS
New this spring we are proud to offer a new way to wear your orthotics. With custom sandal or clog orthotics you can be casted for a pair of orthotics that are custom made to fit inside a pair of specialized sandals or clogs chosen and purchased by you. There are a variety of styles and colors available from notable brands such as Birkenstock. The orthotics may be covered by your health insurance and we will happily check your benefits at no extra charge.
DIGITAL X-RAYS
We are now proud to offer state of the art diagnostic digital xray. Digital xrays are more accurate than traditional xrays. It allows the physician to enlarge an area of interest to better view the anatomy and the possible reason for the patient's complaint. This new tool will help to diagnose some problems that would not be able to be seen on traditional xrays.
