Customized Treatment Plans For Your Unique Needs
Each patient is unique, and so are their feet! Our Austell podiatrist thoroughly evaluates each patient in order to determine the most effective care plan. Optimum Podiatry offers a wide variety of treatment options to provide personalized care for every patient’s needs.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are designed to meet your specific biomechanical needs, providing targeted support to relieve heel pain, Achilles pain, and more. Using molds of your feet and a gait analysis, our team crafts custom orthotics to relieve foot pain without the need for invasive treatments.
Laser Therapy for Pain
Laser therapy is an effective option for managing pain and treating injuries, as well as for promoting healing after surgery. This advanced, non-invasive treatment can reduce recovery times, helping you get back on your feet sooner. Discover how laser therapy can support your recovery.
Laser Treatment for Toenail Fungus
If you’re struggling with thickened, yellowed, or brittle toenails due to fungal infection, laser treatment offers a faster, more effective solution. Contact our Powder Springs office to learn about our advanced fungal nail treatments and take the first step toward clear, healthy nails.
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)
With minimally invasive surgery, we can address many foot conditions using smaller incisions, which means shorter recovery times and less downtime. Dr. Alvin Cowans in Powder Springs will help determine if MIS is a good option for your needs, allowing you to get back on your feet quickly and safely.
Smart ABI Testing for Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
The Smart ABI (Ankle Brachial Index) test is a quick, painless way to assess blood flow by comparing blood pressure in the ankle and arm. A low ABI score may indicate PAD, a condition where narrowed or blocked arteries reduce circulation. This test is especially valuable for patients with an elevated risk of PAD, such as those with diabetes, and helps us address circulation concerns early.
Surgical Treatment Options
When conservative treatments aren’t enough to resolve your foot, ankle, or toenail issues, surgery may be a suitable option. At Optimum Podiatry, Dr. Alvin Cowans offers comprehensive surgical care, including minimally invasive and traditional open procedures. Schedule a consultation to discuss the best approach to meet your needs.
Swift Therapy for Plantar Warts
Swift® Therapy is a fast, nearly painless treatment that effectively removes plantar warts in three or fewer sessions, with less than a 1% chance of recurrence. Reach out to our Powder Springs office to schedule this advanced treatment and keep stubborn warts from returning.
