We believe that an informed patient is better equipped to make decisions regarding their health. That's why we have put together this user-friendly website to educate our patients on various foot and ankle conditions and treatments. Our website includes comprehensive information on heel pain, bunions, sports medicine, orthotics, and laser surgery.

Our Services

At Plateau Foot & Ankle Clinic, we offer a wide range of services to treat various foot and ankle conditions. Our services include, but are not limited to:

• Bunions: A bunion is a misaligned big toe joint that can become swollen and tender, causing the first joint of the big toe to slant outward, and the second joint to angle toward the other toes. Our team provides customized treatment options to relieve pain and correct the alignment of the big toe joint.
• Orthotics: A custom-molded device that you place in your shoe is called an orthotic. Orthotics are designed to align and support your foot and ankle, prevent or correct foot deformities, and improve the overall function of your feet and ankles. We provide custom-made orthotics to fit your specific needs.
• Shockwave Therapy: If you are one of the millions of Americans who suffer from chronic heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis, we offer shockwave therapy to alleviate pain and promote healing.
• Sports Medicine: Exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, but sometimes athletes injure themselves while playing sports or exercising. Our team is dedicated to keeping you in the game for life. We provide customized treatment options for sports-related foot and ankle injuries.
