Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are medical devices prescribed to treat different foot and ankle conditions. They support and align the foot and lower extremities and are made by taking a plaster impression of the foot. More often than not, insurance companies will cover custom orthotics. Our physicians will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if orthotics are indicated for you.
Digital X-Ray
Our offices offer patients on-site x-ray evaluations of their foot or ankle problem. With the addition of digital x-ray in our main Hoffman Estates office, we are able to provide our patients with greater clarity and detail than is possible with standard x-ray. Within seconds, the image is transferred from the radiographic cassette to our computer system for evaluation. This system allows our physicians to be extremely accurate when making necessary measurements, diagnosing even the smallest fractures, and evaluating the patient’s foot structure.
UltraMIST Ultrasound Wound Therapy
The UltraMIST System delivers low-frequency ultrasound to the treatment site using a non-contact fluid (e.g., saline). MIST Systems produce a low energy ultrasound-generated mist used to promote wound healing through wound cleansing and maintenance debridement by the removal of fibrin, yellow slough, tissue exudates, and bacteria.
Administered by healthcare professionals to thousands of patients for more than a decade and supported by a vast array of clinical evidence, the painless, low-frequency and non-contact ultrasound acoustic wave therapy delivered via the UltraMIST System promotes healing. The treatment assists wound healing by controlling localized inflammation, augmenting local tissue perfusion by increasing angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), reducing wound bacteria and bacterial biofilm, and more.
