Heel Pain

Find lasting relief from chronic heel pain.

Painful lumps, or heel spurs, can grow behind or under the heel bone, and Drs. Cardon and Johnson can relieve your pain often without surgery. That’s because they spend time to understand exactly what’s causing your heel pain. Is it an inflamed fascia or is it nerve pain? They’ll perform a comprehensive examination to get to the root of your problem. Most of our heel pain patients don’t require surgery.

Drs. Cardon, Johnson and Callarman can use a combination of shockwave therapy, custom orthotics, injection therapy, physical therapy and/or medication to help you walk comfortably again. When conservative treatment does not relieve your pain, they can also perform minimally invasive endoscopic plantar fasciotomy (EPF).

Sports Injuries

Advanced sports injury care.

Whether you’re a hard-training competitive athlete or a weekend warrior, you know the pain and frustration injuries can cause. When you injure your foot or ankle, it can sideline you for long periods of time if you don’t get proper treatment. Drs. Cardon, Johnson and Callarman have the training, experience and specialized expertise you need to stay competitive. Some of the sports injuries they treat include:

• Plantar fasciitis/heel pain
• Tendonitis
• Achilles tendon injuries
• Ankle sprains
• Toe injuries, including turf toe

Diabetic Feet

Helping diabetics rest their feet and ease their fears.

Drs. Cardon, Johnson and Callarman are highly trained and experienced in the maintenance and management of diabetic foot issues. They will take special steps to help guard you against infections, foot ulcers and damage caused by poor circulation. And this includes educating you in the latest ways to care for your condition.

Laser Treatments for Fungal Toenail Infections

The foot laser is a patented FDA approved laser device that operates in a very tight spectrum of near infrared light. The laser shines through the toenail and vaporizes the germs embedded in the nail bed and nail plate that cause toenail fungus.

The laser is very effective, according to clinical studies performed in Sacramento and California. Most patients experience significant improvement. In most cases, the fungal nails are completely cured. The majority of our clients require only one 30-minute treatment.

Other Conditions

Progressive care for bunions, hammertoes, neuromas and flatfeet.

If you suffer from any of these conditions, you may have been told that surgery is the best solution. But Drs. Cardon, Johnson and Callarman take a conservative approach to treatment and can often alleviate painful foot problems without surgery. When surgery is the best option for lasting relief, it is usually performed at an outpatient surgery center. An anesthesiologist is always on hand to make sure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.

Bunions – If conservative, nonsurgical measures don’t bring relief from your bunion pain, we can correct the deformity with a “bunionectomy” procedure, in which we surgically realign the bone, ligaments and tendons to restore your big toe to its proper position.

Hammertoes – Hammertoe is a term used to describe a crooked, deviated or contracted toe. We can treat hammertoes with protective foot pads or surgery, if needed.

Neuromas – Neuromas are caused by the thickening of the outer coating of a foot nerve. We may recommend custom orthotics (shoe inserts), injection therapy or shoe style/size. If symptoms become severe, surgical removal of the neuroma can provide lasting relief.

Flatfeet – If your foot’s arch loses its strength, the foot’s framework begins to collapse, causing the foot to flatten. We may prescribe special custom orthotics (shoe inserts), physical therapy and medication to relieve pain and inflammation. Surgery may be considered in severe cases.
