Advanced Tools For Better Foot and Ankle Care

Technologies & Diagnostics at New Orleans Podiatry

At New Orleans Podiatry, precise diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. Our in-house technologies allow us to pinpoint the cause of your foot and ankle problems quickly so that you can start the proper treatment without unnecessary delays. Whether you’re dealing with heel pain, bunions, sports injuries, or nail conditions, our diagnostic and treatment tools are designed to give you clarity and confidence in your care plan.

Fast, On-Site Imaging

Same-day digital X-rays, ultrasound, and fluoroscopy to speed diagnosis and treatment.

Advanced Therapeutics & Technologies

Our technology suite includes radial and focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, FDA-cleared Pinpoint fungal-nail lasers, the Aspen Class IV red-light laser, 3D Foot-Scanning Technology, and the Arthrex Angel centrifuge—engineered to produce industry-leading PRP, BMAC, and A2M for regenerative care.

Minimally Invasive Options

Our clinic utilizes the Hyfrecator® 2000 electrosurgical system—a state-of-the‐art tool engineered for precision, tissue-sparing office procedures. The device offers both monopolar and bipolar modes, delivering high-frequency energy for desiccation, coagulation, and fulguration of bothersome soft-tissue lesions with minimal collateral damage.

Convenient & Comprehensive

All diagnostics and treatments are performed right in our office.

Bringing Clarity To Care

Our Diagnostic Tools

Accurate diagnosis is essential for targeted treatment. We offer:

  • Digital X-Ray (MINXray HFP40): Clear images with minimal radiation exposure for detecting fractures, arthritis, and alignment issues.
  • Ultrasound (Mindray DP-50Expert): Real-time imaging for evaluating soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and fascia.
  • Fluoroscopy (Orthoscan Mobile DI Mini C-Arm & Orthoscan 100Xrc): Live X-ray guidance for precision in procedures like joint injections or fracture care.

Innovations That Help You Heal

Therapeutic Technologies

We incorporate the latest non-invasive and minimally invasive technologies to treat pain, inflammation, and chronic conditions:

  • Class IV Red Light Laser: Used for plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, neuromas, post-surgical healing, and wound recovery.
  • Radial Shockwave Therapy (enPulsPro): Stimulates circulation and tissue regeneration for chronic heel pain, tendon injuries, and neuromas.
  • Advanced Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (Orthogold 200): Electrohydraulic shockwaves for deeper tissue healing.
  • PinPointe FootLaser™ & Nd:YAG Laser: FDA-cleared devices for fungal nail infections, targeting pathogens without harming surrounding tissue.
  • Arthrex Angel® Centrifuge: Produces highly concentrated PRP, BMAC, and A2M for advanced regenerative treatments that support tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

Advanced Devices For Precision Care

Electrosurgical & Specialized Devices

  • Conmed Hyfrecator® 2000: A high-precision electrosurgical system that delivers controlled electrical energy to ablate plantar warts and superficial skin lesions. Its adjustable power output allows effective tissue destruction with minimal thermal spread, reduced bleeding, and rapid procedural times.
  • 3D Foot-Scanning Technology measures every unique contour of your feet. The digital scan is converted into a precise wooden foot model for fully customized orthotics—or used to design custom shoes and braces engineered specifically for your foot structure.

Faster, Gentler, Smarter

Why Advanced Technology Matters

Using state-of-the-art tools means:

  • Faster, More Accurate Diagnoses — Reducing unnecessary tests and wait times.
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures — Less pain and quicker return to normal activities.
  • Better Outcomes — Precision targeting of the affected area for effective treatment.
