At Irvine Podiatry, we specialize in foot and ankle treatment in Orange County, CA. We offer personalized care that addresses your needs and helps you return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.
Conservative Medical Interventions
We prioritize conservative foot and ankle treatment in Orange County, CA, to provide relief without invasive procedures. Our approach includes:
- Custom Orthotics: Our orthotics are designed to correct various foot conditions, including flat feet, heel pain, arch pain, and more. These orthotics help alleviate discomfort and prevent further complications by providing tailored support and alignment.
- Diabetic Shoes and Inserts: Protecting the feet of individuals with diabetes is crucial to prevent serious complications. Our diabetic shoes and inserts offer extra depth, cushioning, and support to reduce pressure points and minimize the risk of ulcers and other foot injuries.
- Physical Therapy: We prescribe specific exercises to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance overall foot function. Physical therapy plays a vital role in rehabilitation, especially for those recovering from injuries or surgeries.
- Corticosteroid Injections: For targeted pain relief and inflammation reduction, we offer corticosteroid injections administered with ultrasound guidance. This treatment is particularly effective for conditions like plantar fasciitis and arthritis.
- Cryotherapy: As an effective treatment for warts, cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze wart tissue. Multiple sessions may be required, but this method offers a reliable way to eliminate warts with minimal discomfort.
Advanced Therapies
When conservative treatments aren’t enough, we offer advanced therapies to address more complex foot and ankle conditions.
- Shockwave Therapy with Stemwave: This non-invasive treatment uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in soft tissue injuries. Shockwave therapy is particularly beneficial for chronic pain conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinopathy. Most patients experience significant pain relief after just a few sessions, making it an excellent alternative to surgery.
- Laser Therapy using Q-Clear Laser: We offer laser therapy to treat fungal nail infections and warts. The Q-Switch laser effectively targets and eliminates fungal organisms and wart tissue, providing a safe and efficient solution with minimal side effects.
Surgical Interventions
- For cases where conservative and advanced therapies aren’t sufficient, we provide a range of surgical options to correct structural deformities and restore function.
- Reconstructive Surgery: We perform reconstructive surgery to correct deformities such as bunions, bunionettes, and hammertoes, helping to restore proper foot alignment and relieve pain.
- Tendon Repair: Our surgical team repairs torn or damaged tendons, including the Achilles tendon. These procedures are crucial for restoring mobility and preventing long-term complications.
- Bone Realignment: Through osteotomies with fixations, we reposition bones for better alignment and promote proper fracture healing, ensuring long-term stability and function.
