Whenever possible, the team uses conservative, noninvasive treatments, like custom orthotics, activity modification, and choosing more comfortable footwear. For more complex issues, the team offers surgical care, such as reconstructive surgery, and wound care, and diabetic wound care.
Athletes of all skill levels regularly visit the practice for the treatment of sports injuries, including Achilles tendonitis, ankle sprains, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and shin splints. Children and teens can receive diagnosis and treatment of pediatric disorders.

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.
Digital X-Rays
At MB Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Specialists, we value your time and are proud to offer our patients in-house, state-of-the-art digital radiographs. We understand that proper treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis, and our digital x-ray service enables us to diagnose and confirm any bone or soft tissue injuries and conditions that can be hard to determine through a physical exam. Unlike traditional x-rays that use film, digital x-rays are safer exposing patients to less radiation and faster allowing doctors to view results within minutes. With this state-of-the-art technology, we can save you time and begin customizing treatment and therapies for your needs.
Sports Medicine
We know how much your foot health can impact your athletic performance, and it is our priority to help get you off of the sidelines and back in the game. Whether you are dealing with a recurring injury or an accident from the big game, we are here to support you through each step of your therapy. Below is a list of some of the most common sports and sports-related injuries we see in our office:
- Martial Arts and Kickboxing: Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, sesamoiditis, and ankle sprains. Proper stretching is vital to injury prevention, specifically, a minimum of 15 minutes before beginning exercise.
- Aerobics: With 26 bones in the foot and impact forces reaching up to six times the force of gravity, proper shoes are essential when participating in aerobics. Shoes must provide shock absorption and proper cushioning, as well as stability.
- Team Sports: Baseball, basketball, soccer, football, field hockey, and lacrosse often lead to foot and ankle injuries. Artificial surfaces, improper footwear, and inadequate stretching are recipes for disaster.
Advanced Wound Care
Amniotic tissue grafts are an advanced wound care option that can be used for a variety of wound types, including chronic wounds, burns, and surgical wounds. These grafts offer numerous benefits, such as accelerating healing, reducing scarring, and minimizing pain. They work by providing a protective barrier, supporting tissue regeneration, and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.
How Amniotic Grafts Work:
- Protective Barrier:
Amniotic membranes, which are part of the placenta, offer a natural barrier that protects the wound from infection and promotes a moist healing environment. - Tissue Regeneration:
They contain a variety of growth factors, proteins, and cells that stimulate the body’s own repair mechanisms, aiding in the regeneration of damaged tissue. - Anti-inflammatory and Anti-scarring Properties:
Amniotic grafts have anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring properties that can help reduce inflammation and prevent excessive scarring. - Pain Reduction:
Studies have shown that amniotic membranes can reduce pain associated with wound healing.
Types of Amniotic Grafts:
- Dehydrated Amniotic Membrane Allografts (dHAM):These are prepared and stored in a dehydrated form, making them readily available and easier to use.
- Fresh Amniotic Membrane:
In some cases, fresh amniotic membranes are used, particularly in situations where immediate coverage and a natural, minimally processed option are desired.
Benefits of Amniotic Grafts in Wound Care:
- Accelerated Healing:
Amniotic grafts can significantly speed up the healing process compared to traditional wound care methods. - Reduced Scarring:
They help to minimize scarring by providing a supportive environment for tissue regeneration and promoting proper epithelialization. - Pain Reduction:
The anti-inflammatory properties of amniotic membranes can help reduce pain associated with wound healing. - Improved Functional Recovery:
Amniotic grafts can contribute to better functional recovery, especially in cases of burns or surgical wounds. - Cost-Effectiveness:
In some cases, amniotic grafts can be more cost-effective than prolonged treatments with traditional wound care products.
When to Consider Amniotic Grafts:
- Chronic Wounds:
Amniotic grafts are particularly effective in treating chronic wounds that have failed to heal with conventional therapies.- Burns:
They can be used to cover burn wounds, promoting faster healing and reducing scarring.
- Burns:
- Surgical Wounds:
Amniotic grafts can be used to support healing after surgical procedures, reducing pain and improving outcomes. - Foot Wounds:
They are often used in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and other foot wounds.
Regenerative Medicine & PRP
At MB Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Specialists, we offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy as part of our regenerative medicine treatments to help patients heal naturally without surgery. PRP uses your body’s own cells to accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and restore function after injury.
PRP therapy involves drawing a small sample of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate the healing platelets and growth factors, and injecting that concentrated plasma directly into the injured area. This targeted approach stimulates your body’s natural healing process and is ideal for chronic foot and ankle conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and soft tissue damage.
Because PRP is created from your own blood, it’s a safe and minimally invasive option that offers faster recovery and fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments. Many patients report improved mobility and reduced pain within weeks of beginning therapy.
If you’re ready to explore how regenerative medicine can support your recovery and long-term foot health, we’re here to help you take the next step.
