When you are an athlete at any level – from school age, collegiate, or professional, to “weekend warrior” – your feet, knees, and ankles take a beating. When you encounter foot, ankle, leg, knee, hip, or back related pain, you will need to get rid of it fast and get back in the game!
Dr. Bruce Williams, Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, and his team at Breakthrough Podiatry, get most patients out of pain in just five visits or less. Breakthrough Podiatry provides a fresh approach to quickly treat foot and lower extremity related sports pain. Unlike many, “outdated” approaches to podiatry, most patients are successfully treated without the use of painful injections or surgery.
At Breakthrough Podiatry, patients of all ages are evaluated from head to toe to clearly identify any biomechanical problems that may be a result of foot problems, or are worsened by improper function elsewhere in the body. Dr. Williams harnesses the power of cutting edge medical technologies, such as pressure mapping, to identify and treat high pressure areas in the feet. Many patients are also treated by using digital video to identify and treat poor body alignment and function. Breakthrough Podiatry also uses digital foot scanning to specially design and make custom inserts for your shoes, providing a tremendous “leap forward” in the fight against podiatric pain.
If you suffer from sports related pain or disorder, make an appointment with Breakthrough Podiatry and get out of pain fast!
