MLS Laser Therapy
MLS Laser Therapy employs light to accelerate the body’s innate healing mechanisms. The laser beam interacts with specific molecules in tissue, triggering a cascade of biological effects - a photochemical, photothermal, and photomechanical dance of rejuvenation.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
At Atlanta Family Foot Care, we are dedicated to providing cutting-edge treatment options for our patients. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is one of our most innovative, non-surgical solutions to promote healing and reduce pain for various foot and ankle conditions.
Conditions Treated
Atlanta Family Foot Care is highly skilled in treating a variety of conditions and issues. Whether you have slight discomfort or severe pain, we can provide you with care that allows you to live the lifestyle you want!
Bunions
Bunions are painful bone deformities in the big toe. When the toe is misaligned, the joint in the toe grows larger, creating a protuberance over time. These lumps can cause constant pain from rubbing against shoes, which in turn, irritates the joint resulting in a large bump.
If treated early, bunions can be corrected. If you suspect a bunion forming, seek medical advice as soon as possible. If left untreated, the big toe can begin to grow sideways into other toes (hammertoe), causing more problems and discomfort.
Since bunions are a bone deformity, they will not heal by themselves. Treatments include adding protective padding to shoes, removing calluses, wearing custom fitted shoes, orthotic devices to slowly correct alignment, exercises, and splints.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a condition where the second, third, or fourth toe, is bent at the middle joint, overlapping the toe(s) next to it. It is caused by improperly fitting shoes and problems with the toe muscles.
Dermatological & Skin
We identify and provide treatments to improve the health of the feet including nail care.
Warts
Although warts may be painful, they are harmless. Warts are caused by a viral infection which penetrates the skin through tiny or "invisible" cuts/abrasions. If left untreated, warts can grow as large as an inch or more in circumference and even spread out into smaller clusters.
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes is a chronic disease causing high blood glucose (sugar) levels. Diabetes also weakens your immune system, making it more difficult for your body to fight off infections, which can, in turn, damage your nervous system. This damage can affect the ability to feel sensations in your feet.
Damage to your nervous system can affect your feet’s ability to produce sweat and other natural oils that keep the skin lubricated. Without proper lubrication, the skin, bones, and joints of the foot can become injured.
If left untreated or unmanaged, foot problems can lead to problems like losing a toe, foot, or leg.
Custom Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look similar to insoles, but are biomedical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot while you walk. We understand that everyone is different, which is why custom foot orthotics are made just for you.
Surgical Corrections of Foot Disorders
In most cases, invasive methods are not necessary to correct many foot disorders. Though in more extreme conditions, surgery may be required. The need for surgery will depend on the severity of the condition, the amount of pain the patient is experiencing, and the patient’s past response to various treatments.
Foot and Ankle Surgery
Digital X-Rays
X-Rays are an excellent diagnostic tool used to detect underlying conditions. We understand the importance of this tool here at Atlanta Family Foot Care and that is why we utilize only the latest and best technology right here in our office.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
Atlanta Family Foot Care does Vascular Screenings tests for Poor Circulation/ Peripheral Arterial Disease Peripheral Arterial Disease (also called PAD) is a common condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the feet and legs.
