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 Westchester Podiatric Healing Medicine, 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.

Surgical Corrections of Foot Disorders
In most cases, invasive methods are not necessary to correct many foot disorders. Though in more extreme conditions, surgery may be required. The need for surgery will depend on the severity of the condition, the amount of pain the patient is experiencing, and the patient’s past response to various treatments.
Wound Care
Ulcers on the foot may not always come with pain, but they are serious conditions that should be evaluated by a medical professional. The symptoms of ulcers may include drainage, or red, inflamed tissue. To properly diagnose and develop a treatment plan x-rays may be ordered.
Laser Treatment
What is Cutting Edge Laser Therapy?
MLS Lasers, by Cutting Edge, offer a completely painless therapy for the treatment of pain and swelling while providing an increased healing response. The use of simultaneous dual wavelengths of light with both continuous and pulsed emissions makes MLS laser therapy the most advanced system currently on the market. This FDA approved technology uses laser light to promote inter-cellular activity, speed healing, and greatly reduce pain and discomfort. Our MLS Laser provides the most consistent coverage over a larger area.
This therapy can be used to treat a multitude of foot and ankle problems including tendonitis, heel pain, arch pain, and ankle sprains and strains. The laser also speeds up the healing of superficial abrasions, and diabetic ulcers.

Modern Wart Therapy with Swift
Eliminate warts from the inside out with the use of the Swift Machine.
What is the Swift Machine?
The Swift Machine applies microwaves to label the DNA of the wart cell, which triggers the body’s immune system to recognize the wart as foreign and remove it from the inside out.
What can you anticipate with Swift Treatment?
The Swift Treatment protocol involves 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, aligning with the body’s natural immune cycle. Each session lasts only 5-10 minutes and involves minimal debridement, no breaking of the skin, and no need for bandages. There is no requirement for home treatment between sessions, and patients can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment option used in podiatry to help alleviate pain and promote healing for a variety of foot and ankle conditions. The therapy involves the use of high-energy sound waves that are directed to the affected area of the foot, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This treatment can help to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration in conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and heel spurs. Shockwave Therapy is generally safe and can be an effective alternative to more invasive treatments such as surgery.
