Family Podiatry of MD Towson Location

A foot doctor is capable of treating any foot and ankle ailment from dermatological to bone pathology.  We are allowed in the state of Maryland to treat wounds to the lower legs as well.  We specialize in the fabrication of the custom orthotics for achy feet syndrome, in the treatment for plantar fasciitis, diabetic wound care, neuroma, ingrown toenails, and in the surgical correction of the foot deformities like bunions and hammertoes.

Therapeutic shoes are not only supportive shoes, they are also wider and roomier shoes to accommodate difficult sized feet due to certain foot deformities.  We carry a line of various shoe styles from dress shoes to tennis shoes.  We will measure your feet, help you choose the shoes that fit your needs and order the shoes for you.  We will ensure the proper fitting of your selection.  If you have diabetes and fit certain criteria, the Medicare therapeutic shoes prevention program may cover the cost of the shoes.  Ask the doctor for more information about the program during your diabetic foot exam.

We name our practice Family Podiatry of Maryland because we realize that children need services too. From warts to ingrown toenails, the various conditions can interfere with a kid’s routine from school attendance to his/her soccer game. We could identify your child’s abnormal gait to poor foot positioning from birth that affects the integrity of the joints and growth of the bone structure. Preventively, we can prescribe custom orthotics or inserts to realign the feet back to their normal position. The inserts could help build the arches up to a certain age before the child reaches maturity. Another common disorder is Sever’s disease, where an active child develops heel pain, the growth plate of the heel is injured by excessive forces during a sports activity.

Custom orthotics or inserts are made to correct the abnormal position/biomechanics of the foot and ankle.  They have a functional role to return the foot and ankle to their normal alignment and provide support to decrease pain in the feet and other joints.  Remember, the feet are the foundation of the body.  When they are out of alignment, they affect the kinetic chain to other joints proximally, leading to stress and other symptoms.  And when the control and support are needed more proximally, the ankle and foot orthoses are indicated.

Our doctor is on staff at Surgcenter of Windsor Mill, Surgcenter of White Marsh and Northwest Hospital for your convenience.
