Strain, Sprain, or Heel Pain?
No problem, heel pain is not normal and you don't have to live with it. In fact, plantar fascitis, or "heel spur syndrome", is one of the most successfully treated foot disorders. For most cases, progressive but conservative therapies such as custom orthotics or physical therapy can cure this condition. However, in severe cases, we use the latest advanced technology including non-invasive acoustic wave therapy or endoscopic surgical correction.Bunions and Hammer toes
These can be embarrassing and often painful. They can limit the shoes we wear and the amount of time we can spend on our feet. Whether your mother handed these down to you or not, you do not have to live with painful bunions. Dr. Brooks will explain your treatment options and how we can help.Custom Orthotics
Balance is everything. Your feet were designed to work hard. Sometimes they just need a little help. Orthotics work to balance and support the musculoskeletal system to reduce overuse and fatigue. From children with flat feet to the triathlete, orthotic devices are custom-made to match you foot's architecture. For every activity, whether it be walking, running, golfing or hiking, Dr. Brooks can help you achieve maximum performance with comfort!
Ingrown Toenails
Ouch! Ingrown toenails often abscess, becoming infected. This can be due to injury, hosiery, shoes, or even cutting the nail improperly. There is no reason to wait and suffer with this painful problem.Diabetic care

What is Podiatry?
Podiatry is a field of medicine that strives to improve the overall health and well-being of patients by focusing on preventing, diagnosing, and treating conditions associated with the foot and ankle. Doctors of Podiatry (DPMs) are physicians and/or surgeons who practice on the lower extremities, primarily on the feet and ankles. The skills of podiatric physicians are in increasing demand because disorders of the foot and ankle are among the most widespread and neglected health problems.
It is also important to note that not all podiatrists have been trained in the foot and ankle. And not all podiatrists are qualified to perform surgery. As a general rule, when looking for a podiatrist be sure to ask about their training, years of residency training, and board certification.
