ECST - Shockwave Therapy

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is a great and effective non-invasive option to treat foot problems, including Plantar Fasciitis. Generally, shockwave therapy for feet is recommended after other therapies have been ineffective. There is a high success rate when treating Plantar Fasciitis.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is non-invasive and uses lasers to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. Its benefits include pain relief, accelerated healing, and the ability to treat multiple types of foot and ankle conditions like neuropathy and fungal nail infections.

Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics enable our podiatrists to make meaningful adjustments to your stride. Patients often report not only a reduction in foot pain, but also in spinal issues and back pain. This makes it easier for our patients to be more active both socially and when exercising.

Highly recommend!!!! I was evaluated by Dr. Nasser for my bunion pain. Over the years I have tried different orthotics and inserts which worked initially, but as time went on the pain had gotten much worse. After discussing my options with Dr. Nasser I decided to have bunion surgery. The surgery went well and I no longer have pain!!!!!

Dr. Nasser corrected two hammertoes for me. They healed beautifully (as if they were never operated on) and my pain is gone. Would highly recommend.

The new doctor at this practice, Dr. Audey Nasser, really is the ideal podiatrist. Not only is he an extraordinarily talented surgeon, he is a genuinely good person who knows how to put the patient first -- unfortunately, a trait that seems far too rare these days. After seeing him myself, I felt perfectly comfortable trusting my mother in his care. You will be treated like a family member.

Dr. Short was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I am very happy with my experience and am healing well from the procedure. Pain was managed very well and all was explained in advance of the procedure. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Short.

As an RN, I highly recommend Dr. Lawrence Short. I feel he is very thorough and has been successful in treating my foot conditions - an occupational issue of nurses! The long term success of my treatment speaks volumes.
