Heel pain is the most common foot complaint we treat — and the most frequently misdiagnosed. Whether you are waking up with sharp pain in your first steps of the morning, feeling a deep ache after long periods on your feet, or dealing with plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, or chronic heel pain that simply will not go away — the answer is rarely rest alone.
Dr. Lang uses advanced diagnostics, shockwave therapy, and regenerative treatments like PRP to identify the true source of your pain—and build a plan to resolve it, not just manage it
Same-day appointments available in New Orleans. Most patients experience measurable relief within the first visit.
STOP LIVING WITH HEEL PAIN
From advanced bunion surgery to chronic heel pain —
Explore the treatments New Orleans patients trust most. Each one is designed to relieve pain, restore function, and get you back on your feet.
Dr. Edward Lang is a certified Lapiplasty® Centurion and one of the region’s most experienced bunion surgeons, offering advanced 3D bunion correction designed to address the root cause and prevent recurrence.
Advanced regenerative therapies help stimulate the body’s natural healing response, supporting recovery from tendon injuries, joint pain, and chronic foot and ankle conditions.
If every step feels like walking on rocks, the problem may not be your shoes. Thinning fat pads are a common and often overlooked cause of chronic foot pain. Leneva® is an FDA-cleared injectable graft that restores natural cushioning to the ball of the foot — providing lasting relief without surgery or downtime.
Originally opened in 1999, The Barefoot is Louisiana’s first and oldest medical spa devoted entirely to foot health and overall wellness.

Dr. Lang combines decades of surgical experience with functional medicine insight to evaluate the metabolic and genomic factors that influence inflammation, nerve health, and tissue repair. For patients in New Orleans dealing with chronic plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, recurring tendon injuries, or conditions that have not responded to standard treatment, this deeper understanding guides a more precise, personalized path to recovery.
Smaller incisions. Less scarring. Faster recovery. Dr. Lang uses advanced surgical techniques to correct bunions, hammertoes, and structural deformities through tiny incisions — often no larger than a few millimeters — with significantly less downtime than traditional foot surgery.
Procedures include: Minimally Invasive Bunionectomy · Hammertoe Correction · Digital Lengthening & Shortening · Bone Spur Removal · EPF (Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy)
If you have been living with a bunion or hammertoe because surgery felt like too much — there is another way.
Originally opened in 1999, The Barefoot is Louisiana’s first medical spa devoted exclusively to foot health. What began as a clinical extension of podiatric care has evolved into a serene sanctuary where advanced foot care meets elevated self-care.
Yes! We offer same-day and emergency podiatry appointments for many foot-related issues, including infected and ingrown toenails or toenail trauma, foot fractures, wounds, lacerations, and ulcerations, sprains and strains, foreign bodies, burns, gout, animal/insect bites, acute foot/ankle pain, and heel pain/plantar fasciitis. If you have an urgent foot need, contact us and we will see you as soon as possible!
Every visit is with Dr. Edward Lang — personally. No nurse practitioners. No physician assistants. Just 30+ years of board-certified expertise applied directly to your care.
We accept traditional insurance for many services and offer transparent self-pay pricing for everything else. Regardless of how you pay, every patient receives the same level of time and attention. You are never rushed, never overlooked, and never treated like a number.
Our approach goes beyond symptoms. Dr. Lang evaluates biomechanics, circulation, nerve health, inflammation, nutrition, and the lifestyle factors that drive foot and ankle conditions — especially in chronic or complex cases. Care may include advanced imaging, laboratory analysis, and regenerative therapies such as PRP and shockwave therapy, alongside traditional medical and surgical treatment.
Same-day appointments are available. Text Dr. Lang directly until 9 PM, seven days a week.
When choosing a podiatrist, three things matter most: board certification, years of hands-on experience, and what patients actually say about their care.
Board certification confirms that a physician has met the highest standards of training, passed rigorous examinations, and is held to ongoing professional accountability. It is the baseline — not a bonus.
Years of experience matter because judgment cannot be taught in a classroom. The ability to recognize patterns, anticipate complications, and choose the right treatment for the right patient comes from thousands of cases over decades of practice.
Patient feedback tells you what credentials cannot. It reveals how a physician listens, communicates, and follows through — and whether patients feel seen, not just treated.
Dr. Edward Lang is board-certified, brings over three decades of clinical and surgical experience to every visit, and has earned 475+ five-star reviews from patients across the greater New Orleans area. Just as important, his training continues to expand as new techniques, diagnostics, and evidence-based treatments emerge.

An E-Visit allows you to consult with Dr. Lang remotely — without coming into the office. You submit information about your condition, and Dr. Lang reviews it personally and responds with a care plan, prescription, or recommendation. E-Visits are ideal for follow-up questions, minor concerns, second opinions, or patients who cannot make it in. Book directly through our texting platform, or give us a call.
Yes — and this is one of the things our patients value most. You can text Dr. Lang directly at (504) 897-3627, seven days a week until 9 PM. You will reach a real person, not an automated system or call center. Texting is available for appointment requests, follow-up questions, prescription questions, and sending images for the doctor to review.
Your first visit at New Orleans Podiatry is unhurried and personal. Dr. Lang will take the time to understand your history, examine your foot or ankle, and explain exactly what is going on — in plain language. If imaging is needed, we have on-site X-ray. You will leave with a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan you understand and agree with. Most patients are seen the same day they call.
