It is important to discuss any foot and ankle fracture with your surgeon. Although not all fractures require surgery, surgery may be recommended for your injury. Surgical treatment is often recommended to prevent long term deformity, pain and to decrease recovery time.
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®) is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method approved by the FDA. This office based procedure represents a breakthrough treatment option for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Dr. Baca is a specialist in foot and ankle ailments. Dr. Baca and the rest of our professional staff at Total Foot and Ankle are the best source for relief from various conditions that commonly afflict feet and ankles.

We also can help with corns, warts, and bone spurs that could cause you to feel extreme discomfort. Ingrown toenails, arthritis, and foot conditions caused by diabetes are among the wide range of conditions for which patients at Total Foot and Ankle often find effective relief.
Some foot and ankle conditions require surgical solutions. Dr. Baca can perform arthroscopic surgery to repair damaged tendons and other soft tissue and help to speed up the recovery. Broken ankles or bones in the foot also might benefit from arthroscopic procedures that focus the surgical effort where it is needed the most.
EPAT Therapy Enhances Natural Healing
Among the many effective and innovative foot and ankle treatments at Total Foot and Ankle is the revolutionary Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) therapy. EPAT therapy uses pressure waves to enhance your body’s natural healing. It focuses the pressure waves on the afflicted areas in your ankle or foot. That increases the blood flow while helping to reduce the inflammation and swelling that make your foot or ankle especially painful.

Diabetic Feet
_________
Are you one of the millions of Americans managing diabetes? If so, Total Foot and Ankle wants to partner with you in managing the care of your feet.
Over time, diabetes can cause nerve damage that might impact your feet. The nerve damage, known as diabetic neuropathy, can result in a loss of feeling in the feet. With neuropathy present, even a small cut can go unnoticed and lead to serious complications.
Achilles Pain
_________
Are you suffering from pain near the back of your heel? If so, you might be experiencing Achilles Tendonitis.
Achilles Tendonitis is typically caused by repetitive stress or strain on your Achilles Tendon. In most cases, Achilles Tendonitis can be treated with conservative non-surgical care. However, if your Achilles Tendon has ruptured, surgical repair might be recommended.
Heel Pain
_________
Are you experiencing significant pain on the underside and back of your foot? If so, you might be experiencing heel pain.
Heel pain is most often caused by a condition called plantar fasciitis. Heel pain may also be caused by stress fractures, tendonitis, arthritis or nerve irritation. There are both conservative and minimally invasive treatment options that provide heel pain relief.
