Complete Care for Simple to Complex

At UP Medical, we understand that your quality of life can be adversely impacted if the conditions affecting your feet are not treated properly.  

Our goal is to get you back to doing the things you love as quickly as possible while also preventing future problems in the process.   

To achieve this, we create personalized treatment plans that incorporate the routine care and advanced treatments you require at every stage of your journey. We focus on timely, effective treatment and limb preservation alongside routine podiatric care.

Podiatry With a Focus  

Whether you’ve got a sprained ankle, an ingrown toenail or a chronic condition like diabetes, our accomplished team of podiatrists, surgeons and nurses can help. We provide personalized and comprehensive Foot & Ankle services covering: 
General Podiatry 
Our podiatrists are highly experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle injuries, deformities, arthritic conditions, infected ingrown toenails (cellulitis) and plantar fasciitis (heel pain). Our comprehensive service offerings include everything from nail care and orthotics to ultrasonic therapies and steroid injections.

Wound Care 
We utilize debridement, compression therapy, skin grafts and minimally invasive ultrasound wound therapy techniques to treat wounds caused by diabetes, vascular disease, foot punctures, infection, trauma, prolonged immobility, bed rest and use of ill-fitting shoes.   

Our integrated team of podiatrists, vascular surgeons and other multidisciplinary specialists work collaboratively to deliver seamless, whole-person care across the entire healing journey.

Diabetic Foot Care 
We practice an integrated care approach for chronic conditions, which means we are well-versed in the complex needs of our patients living with diabetes. Our experts can offer guidance on lowering your risk of complications and provide the personalized support you need at every stage of the healing process.  

We focus on preventative care with routine foot screenings, and nail and callus care, with the aim of addressing any issues before they develop into more complex conditions. Because the truth is that even common conditions like bunions can become problematic for high-risk diabetic patients. 

Customized Care Plans

Many of the care plans we create for our patients involve efficient and effective treatment for:
Limb Preservation
Routine podiatric care, comprehensive wound treatment and, in some cases, limb salvage surgery to prevent amputation.
Loss of Foot Sensitivity
Diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage) makes it difficult to notice wounds that become infected, and can lead to complications and even limb loss.
Heel Pain
Plantar fasciitis (tissue inflammation), heel spurs, bursitis and fractures are among the many causes of debilitating heel pain.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when the edges of the nail curves and grows into the surrounding skin causing tenderness, swelling, pain and even infection if left untreated.
Fungal Nail Infection
Fungal nail infections can cause thickening, discoloration and deformity of the toe nails, and can even cause pain and odor.

FAQs

What are Venous disease?

Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen veins that are visible under the skin’s surface. They occur when the valves in your veins don't function at full capacity, allowing the blood to flow in the wrong direction and pool. They are most common in the legs because standing and walking increase the pressure on veins in the lower body.

What are spider veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen veins that are visible under the skin’s surface. They occur when the valves in your veins don't function at full capacity, allowing the blood to flow in the wrong direction and pool. They are most common in the legs because standing and walking increase the pressure on veins in the lower body.

How common are varicose and spider veins?

Varicose veins and spider veins affect approximately 30% to 60% of adults, and are more common in women than men. They tend to get more prevalent with age, but certain factors can hasten their onset. These include pregnancy, obesity, prolonged sitting or standing, and genetic predisposition.

What causes varicose veins?

Varicose veins occur when the valves inside your veins do not function properly. In a healthyvein, the valves open to let the blood flow to the heart and close to stop it from flowingbackward. But, if these valves become weak or damaged, the blood can flow back and pool inthe vein, causing it to become enlarged and swollen. Certain factors can increase the likelihoodof developing varicose veins. These include age, pregnancy, a family history of varicose veins,obesity, and long periods of sitting or standing.

Are varicose veins hereditary?

In many cases, varicose veins are hereditary. A combination of genetic and environmental factors determines your risk of developing them. If one or both of your parents have varicose veins, you are more likely to have them as well.
