Bunion Correction - A bunion is a localized painful swelling at the base of the big toe (the great toe). The joint is enlarged (due to new bone formation) and the toe is often misaligned. It is frequently associated with inflammation. There are several types of bunionectomies. The right one for you is based on your age, bone strength and overall health. They involve removing the bunion (bone growth) and straightening the big toe.
Fracture Repair - A break in the bone; generally caused by trauma, twisting, or weakened bone structure due to disease.
Sometimes a cast alone isn't enough to heal a broken bone. Surgery to place the broken pieces back in place is sometimes
needed. This may require titanium plates, screws and/or pins.
Joint Replacement - Is the surgical replacement of a joint with an artificial prosthesis. When a joint is arthritic and the pain is not alleviated by medications, orthotics or accommodative shoes, the joint may need to be replaced. Titanium or silastic joints are utilized depending on which joint needs to be replaced.
Hammertoe Repair - This term is used to describe a contracted toe. This surgery involves removing part of a joint in order to straighten the toe. Sometimes tendons are lengthened or the joint may be fused.
Neuroma Removal - Painful enlarged growths of nerves, usually between the third and fourth toe, causing burning, tingling or numbness. Neuromas are removed using the CO2 laser to help prevent them from recurring.
Diabetic Ulcer Care - An ulcer is an open sore of the foot which may be caused by an abrasion, corn, callous, blister, foreign body or other trauma. Healing may be impaired by infection, numbness, poor circulation, smoking or poor nutrition. Surgical trimming away of dead or necrotic tissue from the wound may be necessary for the wound to heal. Occasionally, grafts may be utilized.
Amputations - A condition which can occur because of diabetes, infection, gangrene or poor circulation of the legs, whereby part of the limb, or the whole limb needs to be surgically removed. Unfortunately, sometimes diabetics or patients with extremely poor circulation who develop gangrene may require amputation of the gangrenous part.
Bone Spur Removal - Bone spurs are bony projections that form along joints. Bone spurs form due to the body's increase of a damaged (usually due to arthritis) joint's surface area in a futile attempt to improve weight distribution. We can develop bone spurs almost anywhere. They can easily be removed in the operating room. spurs on the bottom of the heel almost never need to be removed.

Laser Therapy treats: arthritis and bursitis pain, sorts injuries, sprains and strains, occupational injuries, post-surgical swelling, heel pain, tendonitis, wounds, and bruising. Don’t keep living in pain!
About Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy is a painless procedure, with most patients reporting no sensation at all while receiving Laser Therapy. Treatments last, on average, about 8 minutes. Laser Therapy is fast-acting with most patients experiencing relief after the first or second treatment, with over 90% of patients experiencing positive results after the third treatment. The average course of treatment is usually between 7 and 10 treatments.
What are the benefits of Laser Therapy?
Laser Therapy has been cleared by the FDA and proven successful by extensive and credible studies conducted in qualified institutions like Harvard University. Benefits of Laser Therapy are: reduced inflammation, reduced pain, improved healing, faster return to normal activities, and longer times between treatments. Laser Therapy has been proven to reduce pain by 50% within 3 to 6 treatments and is non-addictive. Laser Therapy accelerates the healing process by reducing inflammation, improving blood flow, and encouraging the formation of fibroblasts (necessary for healing to take place).

How does Laser Therapy work?
Certain light emissions are able to essentially transfer energy to cells and tissue. Upon exposure to laser light, areas subject to poor cellular metabolism recover full activity. With the help of our Laser Therapy, we can reach deep into problem areas giving you the relief you’ve always wanted.
Patient Testimonial
"The degree of skepticism I possessed about the expected success of the laser treatment I received for plantar fasciitis was surpassed only by the degree of my desperation to alleviate the pain. I am delighted to report that it works! Who would have thought that (from a layman’s perspective) a red light shown on one’s feet could deliver such amazing, healing results? After over a year of icing, resting, aching and missing out on recreation, and exercise, I have resumed normalcy! I would have supplied this testimonial earlier but my skepticism caused me to suspect the cure was only temporary; so I wanted to wait a couple of months to be sure. Thank you Dr. Uro!!" - Lee

About Plantar Faciitis

Do I Have Plantar Fasciitis?
The main sign of plantar fasciitis is pain or stiffness on the bottom of the heel when standing, and the pain is most often felt in the bottom inside edge of the heel. Patients often report that the pain moves around to different areas and can range from a dull ache to a debilitating sharp pain. The condition may come and go spontaneously, or be persistent for months and sometimes years.
About Plantar Fasciitis
The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is relatively inelastic and does not stretch very well. Increased tension and overuse causes pulling and irritation at its attachment to the heel. This will occur most often in people who have structural problems with their feet, such as high arches or flat feet.
Overuse of your feet, as with people who are required to work long hours walking or standing on hard surfaces, increases your probability of acquiring plantar fasciitis. Overuse associated with sports such as running, racquet sports and golf may increase your chance of developing heel pain. Weight gain and tight muscles contribute to the tension in the plantar fascia and makes you more prone to its irritation. Also, improper shoes can encourage poor foot alignment and contribute to heel pain.

Plantar Fasciitis Treatments
We are proud to offer the new cutting-edge Laser Therapy for the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Laser Therapy treats chronic conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and peripheral neuropathy with an incredible 84% success rate. Not only does the new Laser Therapy work simply, but the average treatment time lasts eight minutes, the healing begins quickly, there are no known negative side-effects, and the therapy is cleared by the FDA.
We are also proud to offer shock wave therapy (ESWT) as an alternative treatment for plantar fasciitis as well as Achilles tendonitis.

ToeLaser Patient Testimonials!
"I tried the stuff you paint on every day. It was expensive and didn't work. I risked taking two rounds of potentially toxic prescription pills, but the fungus didn't go away. I was ready to give up but decided to try this laser. Dr. Uro cured my toenail fungus with just one treatment! I am so happy with my feet now. Thank you! "
