REGENERATIVE MEDICINE

With the advancement of regenerative medicine patients no longer need to undergo invasive surgeries or deal with life-long prescriptions. There are countless common diagnoses may be treated instantly without a prolonged recovery period. Regenerative solutions is a treatment that is used to speed up the healing process of soft tissue injuries and arthritis naturally without subjecting patients to the risk of surgery. In this way, it reduces healing time and gets patients back to their active lifestyles much faster than traditional non-surgical orthopedic treatments. The treatment is in office with about 45-60 minutes to complete.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY

This is a surgical technique where the bone and soft tissue corrections are performed through small incisions. This technique has perceived advantages over open surgery from its smaller incisions, faster healing time, minimal scaring, less swelling and discomfort. Minimal Invasive Surgery (MIS) is useful in bunion correction, hammertoe correction, heel pain, neuroma, stiff joints, diabetic foot ulcers, and many more. This technique is only performed by specifically trained physician in MIS with a new range of surgical tools that require technical skills in order to master the different surgical techniques. MIS is not for everyone. There are certain deformities that need a different surgical approach to correct the concerned area. Feel free to contact our office for a consultation with Dr. Helene Nguyen to discuss this in further detail.

LASER THERAPY

Stop suffering from the pain and embarrassment of unsightly nail fungus. PinPointe™ FootLaser® is an easy and convenient procedure that helps turn your discolored and disfigured nails into clearer, healthier looking nails. Nail fungus is a chronic condition that impacts your quality of life and can even lead to serious health problems for patients with diabetes or immune disorders. Nail fungus is difficult because the infection is under and inside of the nail, which makes it hard for some products to reach and destroy the infection. Products such as medicated nail polish or oral medications may be associated with side effects or serious drug interactions. Home remedies such as using bleach, vinegar, mouthwash, or household cleaners to resolve the problem are often tried but, ultimately, fail to resolve it.This in-office procedure is virtually painless, has minimal side effects, and typically takes only about 30-minutes to complete.

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY (ESWT)

E.S.W.T treats a variety of conditions using shock waves, or Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), outside the body. The treatment is non-surgical and non-invasive. This quick, effective procedure harnesses intense, but very short energy waves to heal many chronic painful orthopedic conditions. Most common treated conditions in our office are Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendon. High Energy ESWT Dornier Epos Ultra is the only FDA device proven to repair damaged tendon or fascia. The effects of ESWT are best documented in areas of changes in tissue density, such as those where a tendon attaches to a bone (enthesopathies) and where a bone attaches to a ligament (desmopathies). For this reason, it is very effective for painful connective tissue in the heels. Additionally, ESWT gives new hope by relieving pain, eliminating the risk factors associated with surgery and allowing people to resume their normal lives.
