Advanced Treatments
The field of medicine is always changing. As a practitioner, if you aren’t constantly learning new techniques and incorporating new technologies and treatments into your practice, you won’t be able to provide your patients with the quality of care they deserve.
At our office, we are proud to offer a variety of advanced treatment options for our patients. Some are helping us treat even the most stubborn pain conservatively, fixing problems that would have required surgery just a few years ago. Others are providing new surgical solutions to common problems that dramatically shorten recovery times and reduce the pain, risk, and life disruption compared to older procedures.
From heel pain and bunions to flat feet, foot wounds, sports injuries, and more, we are able to help our patients with pain better than ever before. Below, you can learn more about some of the advanced technologies and procedures we offer.
Therapeutic Laser Therapy
Conditions that can be treated with laser therapy include sprains, strains, tendinitis, heel pain, neuromas or nearly any inflammatory foot pain. It is a 100% conservative treatment that requires no incisions and no drugs, doesn’t cause any pain, and has no known side effects. Because our laser is one of the most powerful available, with a peak power of 30W, it can offer greatly reduced treatment times and even stimulate healing in hard tissues such as bone.
Hyprocure Treatment
Using a small incision (less than an inch long), we place a small titanium stent in the natural space between the ankle bone and the heel bone. This significantly corrects the biomechanics of the feet by preventing the ankle bone from rolling too far inward when you step.
Previously, a fix like this would have required a major rearfoot reconstructive surgery, with a lengthy recovery window. However, the HyProCure procedure only takes about 20 minutes, and most patients are back on their feet and walking within a week or two. Because your body posture will dramatically improve virtually instantly, it may take a few more months for your bones, muscles, and ligaments to fully adjust to the corrected position.
Regenerative Injection Therapy
You’ve probably heard of cortisone shots before—maybe you’ve even had one before when you were dealing with a painful injury. While cortisone can be effective for temporary pain relief, it doesn’t address the real causes of your pain and won’t help you heal. If you’ve been in pain for months, it’s a band-aid solution.
However, advanced regenerative medicine therapies are providing injections that do address the root causes of chronic pain and give your tissues the nutrients and cellular materials they need to repair themselves. We use an injection made from voluntarily donated umbilical cord tissue, which is loaded with growth factors, nutrient-rich proteins, stem cells, and other components your body needs to heal. Better yet, it’s fast and easy—in most cases only a single injection is needed to provide an accelerated healing effect.
Swift Microwave Therapy
Instead of cutting out, peeling away, or freezing off the wart (like traditional treatments), Swift is an immunotherapy technique that helps your body’s immune system rapidly fight off the infection. Following this, the wart disappears on its own, without needing to be forcibly destroyed or removed.
The main reason that warts take so long to heal on their own, under normal circumstances, is because the immune system typically doesn’t “patrol” the uppermost layers of skin as vigilantly as other areas of the body. The virus can thus evade detection and avoid being targeted for removal by the body.
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT)
EPAT, also known as shockwave therapy, uses high-energy pressure waves to stimulate natural healing responses within the body. EPAT treatment is capable of not only accelerating the healing of many soft tissue injuries such as sprains and plantar fasciitis but can also “kickstart” chronic sources of pain that have slowed or stopped their healing process.
Each session of EPAT typically takes 20 minutes or less, and patients feel progressively better results with each successive treatment.
What is Aquaroll Therapy?
Aquaroll sessions use a basin of warm water and 30,000 tiny glass beads to stimulate natural healing and pain relief responses within the feet and ankles. It can be a recommended form of treatment for patients with soft tissue sports injuries, nerve pain, arthritis, and various other conditions that could benefit from a faster recovery.
