At your first consultation, you’ll be amazed at how much time we take to listen to your symptoms. Our Victorville and Irvine podiatrists take the time to investigate the pain you’re feeling, and come up with a solution to get you started with the best treatment options available.

Whether plantar fasciitis, compressed nerves, or inflammation causes your heel pain, we have a treatment option to eliminate the agony you live with each day.

• Custom Orthotics. This is perhaps the easiest form of treatment. Custom orthotics for Orange County women and men may not seem like the most fashionable way to treat heel pain, but they have come a long ways since the big clunky shoes of the past. Now, you can support your feet and treat your heel pain with the right footwear instead of continuing to do serious damage to your heel in unsupportive shoes.
• Extracorporeal Shock Wave Treatment. This treatment, also known as EPAT treatment, can sometimes speed the healing process of the damaged tissues in your heel. By using acoustic pressure waves to improve blood circulation, this treatment accelerates the heeling process. It is a breakthrough treatment that has helped many Orange County and Los Angeles County people with their heel pain.
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Replacement Therapy. PRP Replacement therapy uses your own blood to speed the recovery time and get you back on your feet faster. PRP replacement therapy works by spinning your blood at a very high speed. This allows us to isolate the platelets. Then, we inject the platelets into the area where you’re experiencing heel pain to make it heal faster. This is done in our office so there is little downtime. Often it’s used in conjunction with other treatments and therapies giving you the best results.
• Nerve Decompression. If the nerves in your feet are compressed, you may experience unusual heel pain, numbness, tingling, or sensitivity to light touch. Heel pain caused by compressed nerves is common in people who are overweight or have diabetes. With a nerve decompression treatment—a minimally invasive treatment—your doctor will release the tissue strangulating the nerves. Often this allows blood to begin flowing to the nerve beyond the areas where it was constricted giving you fast relief.

Our wide array of services (many of which are not offered by other southern California podiatrists) relieves your heel pain with the most innovative solutions available.
