Diabetic shoes and inserts are the first line of defense in protecting your feet from injury. Diabetic neuropathy can prevent you from feeling foot pain which can warn you of injury. Therefore you need the right shoes and inserts. We provide only top-of-the-line Diabetic shoes from Dr. Comfort. They are extra-depth for added stability and support, and they come in a wide variety of colors and styles, including dress shoes and athletic shoes. Also, the insert that goes into the shoe is as important as the shoe itself. This is because the inserts is what goes between the bottom of your feet and the shoe. We provide high-quality heat-moldable inserts that are heat-molded to the shape of your feet. Both the shoes and inserts are made of special materials that can reduce the friction which can cause injuries can can eventually lead to ulcers and amputations.

Custom Foot Orthotics One device that can help eliminate foot pain in many patients are custom-made orthotics. Custom orthotics
are biomechanical medical appliances
that are custom made to correct your
specific foot imbalance. They are individually fabricated over a three
dimensional
model of your foot. Custom orthotics work
on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes - they reduce stress
and strain
on your body by bringing your feet back
into proper alignment and help you walk again foot-pain free.

Paraffin therapy can increase circulation to the affected area and sooth joint pain. We provide Whirlpool bath and paraffin therapy to help you live pain free.
Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a condition of localized fluid retention and tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system. The lymphatic system returns the interstitial fluid to the thoracic duct and then to the bloodstream, where it is recirculated back to the tissues. Tissues with lymphedema are at risk of infection. We use gradient pump therapy to reduce the swelling found in lymphedema and help alleviate the pain caused by this disease.
We also treat the following conditions:
