Diagnostic Ultrasound

As our current patients know, our podiatry practice seeks the most efficient, accommodating and advanced technology.  One such example is our diagnostic ultrasound capability.  Diagnostic ultrasound allows us examine the feet and ankles with considerable clarity, and subsequently provide an accurate and prompt diagnosis. This is accomplished through soft tissue sonography, which provides even greater insight into foot conditions and abnormal tissue than traditional x-rays.

If you are experiencing any manner of foot pain, deformation, or you have noticed anything unusual regarding the health and structure of your foot, ask us how a diagnostic ultrasound could help.  

Laser Therapy and Care

As you may have read in our press release on our K-Laser capabilities, our podiatry practice is fully equipped to provide our patients with complete laser therapy and care for common foot and ankle injury.  Laser therapy is a highly efficient, safe and noninvasive method of treatment for inflammation, injury and pain. Out patients also benefit from laser therapy thanks to its ability to stimulate internal cells and thereby expedite healing and reduce scaring.

We recommend laser therapy and care to our athletic podiatry patients and any individual who may be recovering from an acute foot or ankle injury. Please contact us directly for details.

Ingrown Nails

Ingrown toenails can occur for a number of reasons, but no matter the cause, they’re usually unsightly, uncomfortable and could lead to more serious conditions of the foot. If you’re affected by an ingrown toenail, do not attempt to remove it by yourself.  Under medical circumstances, treatment of an ingrown toenail is typically straightforward and simple. We provide this service here at Affiliated Ankle and Foot Care.

While we can effectively correct issues with ingrown toenails, we’d rather help you prevent them in the first place. To avoid toenail issues and prevent from occurring, consider the following:

• Wear proper footwear to avoid injury, especially if you’re prone to stubbing your toe.


• Avoid shoes that are too tight and put pressure on the toes.


• Keep your toes and nails well moisturized and be sure to clean your feet on a daily basis.

Trim your toenails straight across.  It’s best to soak your feet in warm water for about ten minutes to make trimming easy and prevent nail splintering.

Biomechanics and Custom Orthotics

The biomechanics of your foot determine how you walk, stand and the wear and tear your body may endure as a result. Poor biomechanics can amount to joint problems, leg, hip and back pain, mobility issues and a number of other concerns. Poor biomechanics may be an inherent to the natural structure of the foot, or can occur due to injury or excess weight. Custom foot orthotics correct poor biomechanics buy providing support and balance as needed. Through regular wear, they can reduce or eliminate cause of your pain, mobility and structural issues.  

We provide custom foot orthotics to our patients as needed for conservative treatment of various biomechanical issues. It’s a non-invasive, manageable and effective way to eliminate pain and other concerns. To find out if custom foot orthotics can help you, please contact us directly.
