Minimally Invasive Surgery
This is a surgical technique where the operation is performed through very small incisions, only
a few millimeters long. This is in contrast to traditional surgery, which is performed through large incisions on the foot.
What conditions can be treated with MIS?
This technique is particularly useful in bunion surgery, where very small scars and better joint
movement can be achieved. Other condition and deformities includes: Hammertoes, heel pain,
metatarsalgia, neuroma, stiff big toe, diabetic foot ulcerations, and so on.
class IV MLS laser therapy
Multiwave locked system (MLS) laser therapy is an FDA-cleared solution for relieving pain and inflammation. Treatments utilize dual wavelengths of infrared light to penetrate deep below the surface of your skin, into underlying bones and tissues.
This laser energy stimulates cell regeneration, which ultimately encourages new tissue development. MLS laser therapy even improves blood circulation, further stimulating healing and pain reduction.
Skin Grafts / Substitutes for Wound Care
Wounds can be devastating to patients’ lives. It can lead to disability, decreased quality of life and inability to work or walk and increase financial burden. When healing is delayed, so do the lives of our patients.
