Digital X-Ray

Instead of X-ray film, digital radiography uses a digital image capture device. This gives advantages of immediate image preview and availability; a wider dynamic range, which makes it more forgiving for over- and under-exposure; as well as the ability to apply special image processing techniques that enhance overall display quality of the image.

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a device that utilizes low pulse activation waves to injured tissue to promote a fast and effective healing response.

Diagnostic Ultrasound

Ultrasounds offer many advantages: They are generally painless and do not require needles, injections, or incisions. Patients aren’t exposed to ionizing radiation, making the procedure safer than diagnostic techniques such as X-rays and CT scans.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

Platelet Rich Plasma Injections are a procedure where blood is drawn from the patient and placed in a centrifuge to yield a high concentration of the body’s platelets.  Platelets contain many growth factors that are responsible for helping heal complex injuries.  The platelets are then injected under ultrasound guidance into the area of injured tissue.  Patients are then placed in a CAM walker for approximately two weeks to promote stability in the ankle and foot and to restrict motion and weight bearing activity.

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem Cell Injections are a viable, conservative procedure for patients suffering from foot and ankle pain. When the stem cells are re-injected into the foot and ankle, they enhance the natural repair process of degenerated and injured tendons, ligaments, and arthritic joints reversing the natural breakdown process that occurs from aging, overuse and injury.

Laser Nail Therapy

PinPointe FDA Approved Laser

The PinPointe Foot Laser is the only FDA approved laser to treat toenail fungus. This safe, painless procedure uses a laser light to target the fungus under the nail and does not harm the surrounding skin. This procedure does not require use of anti-fungal medications, anesthesia or any recovery period. Typically, toenail fungus is cleared up in 1-2 Laser Nail Therapy treatments.

KeryFlex Nail Restoration System

Keryflex provides for cosmetically pleasing nails during most antifungal treatment regimens, delivering immediate and significant cosmetic enhancement after one visit.

Bone Stims

Bone Stimulators act by increasing osteoblastic activity across fracture ends and are used for fractures or injuries to bone where increased bone healing is required.

TENS Units

Trans Electrical Nerve Stimulation (“TENS”) Units work by sending stimulating pulses across the surface of the skin and along the nerve strands. The stimulating pulses help prevent pain signals from reaching the brain and also help stimulate your body to produce high levels of endorphins.

Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are biomechanical medical devices that are custom made and designed to stabilize the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position to correct foot imbalances.

Leneva in Santa Monica, CA

We are thrilled to introduce Leneva, an advanced treatment initially crafted for diabetics but has since expanded its horizon to cater to the unique needs of runners, athletes, and individuals dealing with ball of the foot pain, heel pain, and calluses. Having received FDA approval, Leneva was launched in the United States in November 2019 as a cutting-edge solution for various foot conditions.

Leneva employs an innovative fat grafting system that blends sterilized human fat tissue (adipose tissue) with a cellular matrix. Though it was first designed to manage foot complications in diabetics, its transformative benefits have made it an optimal solution for runners, athletes, and individuals experiencing discomfort from ball of the foot pain, heel pain, and calluses.

When applied beneath pressure points or areas prone to calluses, Leneva not only provides cushioning but also establishes a supportive scaffolding that enables your body to naturally integrate new fat cells. This synergistic blend of grafted fat and your body’s own fat cells produces a robust cushion, ensuring lasting comfort during diverse physical activities.

During the Leneva treatment procedure, our experienced healthcare professionals administer the injectable product in our office setting. After using local anesthesia to ensure a painless process, the Leneva fat matrix is meticulously injected just below the skin, imparting internal fat cushioning to the affected region. This combined fat and cellular scaffolding complex remains steadfast, allowing your body to methodically populate it with fresh fat cells over time.

Post the Leneva treatment, you can promptly resume your running, athletic endeavors, and daily routines with negligible downtime or discomfort, while abiding by the post-treatment recommendations laid out by your doctor. With its extended application, Leneva specifically addresses issues like ball of the foot pain, heel pain, and the formation of calluses, empowering individuals to optimize their performance and relish their activities with improved comfort.

Though Leneva’s roots trace back to its development for diabetic foot complications, its multifaceted benefits have propelled its adoption even among runners, athletes, and those troubled by calluses. By delivering instantaneous cushioning, alleviating pressure, and promoting the genesis of new blood vessels and fat cells, Leneva stands out as a game-changing treatment option for individuals grappling with foot discomforts including calluses.

Recognizing the distinctive challenges faced by runners, athletes, and those enduring the discomfort of calluses, we are delighted to extend Leneva as an avant-garde solution.
