Benefits:

• Restore proper foot alignment
• Less pain & faster recovery
• Less than 7 days of pain medication
• Improved foot appearance

Recovery:

• Weight bearing in surgical shoe immediately
• Athletic shoes by week 4-6
• Full impact activities by week 8

Great Toe Replacement

The functional alternative to joint fusion for hallux rigidus or osteoarthritis. When range of motion is limited, other neighboring joints suffer. This procedure increases motion
in a similar way to total hip and total knee replacement.

Benefits:

• Restore proper biomechanics
• Reduce pain and stiffness without loss of motion
• Preserve the ability to wear shoes, including heels

Recovery:

• Weight bearing in a surgical shoe immediately
• Range of motion therapy day 1
• Athletic shoes by week 3-5

Arch Restoration (Pediatric Flat Feet)

Pediatric flat feet is a condition that is often overlooked. It can be difficult to determine what is normal for a child’s feet at various ages. If your child is experiencing pain and discomfort that limits activity schedule a consult to be evaluated by Dr. Graham.

Benefits:

• Improved quality of life
• Ability to socialize with family and compete in sports
• Prevent future joint pains that may require more invasive treatment

Solutions:

• Most children benefit from orthotic and physical therapy
• Surgery may be necessary which may include tendon releases, bone cuts for realignment, a minimally invasive implant, HyProCure or ligament reconstruction.

Other Surgical Solutions

We provide comprehensive surgical care for complex issues that affect mobility. This includes advanced ankle repair for instability, expert fracture care for immediate and long-term recovery, intricate tendon reconstruction (e.g., Achilles repair), and specialized limb preservation techniques, particularly for diabetic patients and complex trauma cases in the Lakewood Ranch community.

Orthotic Therapy

This therapy is highly effective for:

• Chronic heel pain (Plantar Fasciitis).
• Shin splints or knee pain caused by poor foot alignment.
• Aches and pains resulting from standing for long periods.

We provide truly custom-molded orthotics designed precisely for your foot and unique gait. Unlike over-the-counter inserts, our orthotics correct specific biomechanical imbalances. They are an essential, non-invasive treatment for common conditions, improving comfort, correcting foot posture, and enhancing athletic performance.

Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative options are often chosen for:

• Chronic Achilles tendonitis or other persistent tendon injuries.
• Ligament damage or joint pain that has not healed with rest and traditional therapies.

We use cutting-edge regenerative treatments, including PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Stem Cell Therapy, to accelerate the healing of chronic tendon injuries, ligaments, and joint pain. These injections harness your body’s own healing components to stimulate tissue repair and regrowth naturally, offering an alternative to surgery for many chronic conditions.

Shockwave Therapy

Consider Shockwave Therapy if you have:

• Stubborn, chronic heel or arch pain (plantar fasciitis) lasting more than six months.
• Pain in the calf or back of the heel (Achilles tendonitis).

Also known as Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT), this is a non-invasive, highly effective option for chronic pain conditions. It uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow, break up scar tissue, and accelerate tissue regeneration deep within the foot and ankle, often providing significant relief after just a few sessions.
