• Painful nail conditions that have resisted other treatments.
• The effect of foot problems on body mechanics, particularly in causing knee, hip, back and shoulder pain.
• Pre-surgical discussion of surgical and non-surgical options.
• New: Shock wave therapy / ESWT / extracorporeal shock wave therapy for plantar fasciitis, heel pain, Achilles Tendon injuries and other soft tissue injuries of the foot ankle and leg.

Stephanie has also written a reference book to provide doctors with a resource to better educate their patients. “Common Foot Disorders and their Effect on Body Mechanics” covers the 20 most common foot disorders and is available on this site under the “Info Sheets” tab. It can be used freely by doctor’s for their patients and individuals for their own use. Please refrain from using this IP for commercial purposes.
