Podiatrist in Florida – Hammertoe Foot Care

Hammertoes: We specialize in a minimally invasive office procedure that reduces simple hammertoes without stitches and features a quick and easy recovery. Through two tiny pokes in the skin, Dr. Jim inserts a small surgical device, and using his sense of touch, identifies and releases contracted soft tissue structures. After this brief, comfortable procedure most patients are able to put their socks and shoes back on and return to work or school the same day. Dr. Jim says the best thing about this procedure is that it stops this progressive deformity from worsening to the severe rigid type that requires bone surgery. Wound Treatment: We have recently acquired sonographic imaging technology which pictures the wound or ulcer as it appears below the skin so the depth and volume of the wound can be followed as it heals. This can also assess how close the wound is to the underlying bone. Our new MicroVas technology has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in the treatment of difficult, long-term, non-healing ulcers. Stage 3 and 4 ulcers, some more than 2 years old, were completely healed in as little as 3-10 weeks using this technology. Nerve Pain/Neuropathy: We have the latest pharmacological treatments for nerve pain, including new medications that can help to restore nerve function. Our new MicroVas system shows an amazing success rate in improving neuropathy in the feet of diabetics. In follow-up on this condition, improvement has persisted out to 4 years. To our knowledge
