procedures including prosthetic joint implants, plastic/reconstructive
surgery, and deformity correction. Our newer techniques allow
us to perform surgery with little post-operative discomfort.
Almost all procedures can be done on an outpatient basis allowing

Extracorporeal
Shock-Wave Therapy (ESWT)
A common ailment seen
in Podiatric Medicine is heel spurs. If conservative treatment
such as changing shoes, orthotics and physical therapy don't
alleviate the pain, sufferers may receive a new, non-surgical
treatment called ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy).
