At SoCal Sports Podiatry, we believe that foot and ankle pain shouldn’t hold you back from doing the things you love. Whether it’s walking, running, playing sports, or pursuing hobbies, we know that pain can make these activities difficult to enjoy.
Our mission is to help you overcome pain and prevent it from recurring, so you can return to your daily routine pain-free. With a team of Board Certified Podiatrists and cutting-edge technology, we are equipped to diagnose and treat all foot and ankle pathologies. From on-site x-rays and ultrasounds to shockwave therapy, platelet rich plasma, stem cell therapy, orthotics, and more, we use the latest advancements to provide effective treatment options.
We understand that every patient is unique, which is why we take an individualized approach to treatment. Our podiatrists will take the time to explain the risks and benefits of both conservative and surgical options, and will only recommend surgery after all conservative measures have been exhausted. With a commitment to patient-centered care and a track record of helping people from all walks of life, we’re here to help you get back on your feet.
If you’re visiting a podiatrist for the first time, there’s no need to feel anxious. Millions of people consult podiatrists annually to address conditions related to their feet, ankles, and lower legs.
The average person takes approximately 10,000 steps each day, placing significant stress on their feet. Factoring in the variety of surfaces and inclines encountered daily, it’s easy to understand why foot pain is a common issue.
We provide a variety of services and treatments designed to help you find relief and get you back on your feet.
Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection that causes itchy, red rashes. Our doctors can effectively treat it with topical or oral antifungal medications.
Ankle sprains involve stretching or tearing of the ligaments that support the ankle joint. Our board-certified podiatrists focus on reducing pain, restoring mobility, and preventing further injury.
Bunions are painful deformities at the base of the big toe. We can recommend non-surgical treatments like orthotics and footwear modifications, or surgical options to correct the condition.
Diabetic foot care focuses on preventing and managing complications that arise from diabetes, such as neuropathy and poor circulation. Our podiatrists assess and treat these issues to maintain foot health and reduce the risk of serious conditions like ulcers or infections.
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia that causes heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning. Our doctors diagnose this condition and offer treatments like footwear adjustments and custom orthotics for relief.
Podiatry surgical solutions addressing foot and ankle conditions that don't respond to conservative treatments. We perform surgeries for issues like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and severe ankle sprains.
Tendinitis and tendinopathy involve inflammation or degeneration of tendons, often causing pain and reduced mobility. Our podiatrists provide targeted treatments to alleviate symptoms and support tendon healing.
Our doctors treat various foot wounds, including diabetic and arterial ulcers, using strategies like debridement and advanced wound care products to promote healing.
We recommend seeing us for your plantar fasciitis when heel pain becomes persistent, severe, or begins to interfere with your daily activities; if the discomfort is sharp upon taking your first steps in the morning, worsens over time, or doesn’t improve with rest, stretching, or over-the-counter remedies, it’s important to seek professional medical evaluation to effectively manage the condition, address underlying causes like overuse or improper footwear, and help you return to a pain-free life.
At SoCal Sports Podiatry, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments for conditions like Achilles tendinopathy, bunions, plantar fasciitis, and more, utilizing conservative therapies such as orthotics, offloading techniques, bracing, and shoe modifications, along with advanced modalities like shockwave therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections; when necessary, we also provide surgical solutions, all aimed at alleviating your pain and restoring your ability to walk, run, jump, and live the lifestyle you desire.
Determining whether you have a sprained ankle or a broken bone can be challenging since both injuries share symptoms like pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty bearing weight. A fracture may cause more severe pain, visible deformity, inability to move the ankle or bear any weight, and sometimes a cracking sound at the time of injury. If you’re experiencing significant discomfort or are unsure about the severity of your injury, please visit us. We can provide a diagnosis and prescribe treatment to help you recover.
We find orthotics to be highly beneficial in correcting foot imbalances and enhancing foot and ankle function. Custom orthotics are biomechanical medical devices we design to stabilize the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. By providing proper support and alignment, orthotics can alleviate pain, improve mobility, and prevent further complications, making them an important part of our treatment approach.
At SoCal Sports Podiatry, we treat foot warts, also known as plantar warts, by offering a range of effective treatments. These include topical medications to dissolve the wart over time, cryotherapy to freeze and remove the wart, electrosurgery to burn off the wart, laser therapy to target and eliminate wart tissue, minor surgical procedures for resistant cases, and immunotherapy to boost your body’s natural defenses. These treatments help you achieve healthy, wart-free skin.
