Aside from the diagnosis, treatment, and preventive measures we provide, we also help to educate you and your loved ones on how to look after your feet, what types of shoes to wear, and maintenance care that needs to be done.
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.
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.
Sports Medicine
We know how much your foot health can impact your athletic performance, and it is our priority to help get you off of the sidelines and back in the game. Whether you are dealing with a recurring injury or an accident from the big game, we are here to support you through each step of your therapy.
Our customized treatment plans allow us to individualize your experience and help you achieve your specific goals. We aim to treat your symptoms while addressing the cause of your pain, and we will work on establishing healthy practices to prevent future injuries. As a reminder, you should always wear sport-appropriate shoes and stretch for at least 15 minutes before playing sports.

Regenerative Medicine
At Vale Foot and Ankle, we diagnose and treat Achilles tendonitis at all stages, from early inflammation to chronic degeneration and surgical repair. As a foot and ankle surgical practice, we offer both non-surgical care and advanced surgical solutions when needed. Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend walker, or just dealing with persistent heel pain, we want to get you back to function, mobility, and comfort with the right level of intervention for your condition.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
In minimally invasive procedures, surgeons use a variety of techniques to operate with less damage to the body than with open surgery. Minimally invasive foot and ankle procedures may be employed for some bunions, arthritis of the foot and ankle joints, ligament injuries, tendon injuries, bone bruises, broken bones, and many more.
In general, minimally invasive surgery is associated with less pain, a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications.
In-Office Circulation Testing
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common condition that affects blood vessels outside the heart and brain, primarily those that supply the upper and lower limbs. As podiatrists, we treat many patients who have been diagnosed with PAD and monitor their feet for changes. Many of our patients have not been diagnosed with PAD, but we can help screen for this disease in the office.
With the use of the state-of-the-art PADnet machine from Biomedix, each of our offices can screen for peripheral arterial disease.
Cosmetic Nail Restoration
How Does it Work?
Similar to a dentist bonding a tooth, KeryFlex Nail Restoration is a procedure in which a resin material is applied and hardened with a special light, “bonding” the material to the nail to restore or improve the nail appearance.
Once bound to the nail, your foot care provider can smooth and shape the nail to appear natural. Nail Restoration can be done in a single visit with your foot care provider.
