Diabetic Shoes and Inserts
Diabetic shoes and inserts are specially designed footwear and insoles that provide added support, comfort, and protection for individuals with diabetes. These shoes and inserts are engineered to reduce the risk of foot injuries, blisters, and ulcers, which are common complications of diabetes. They often feature extra depth, cushioning, and breathable materials to prevent foot irritation and promote healthy circulation. By wearing diabetic shoes and inserts, individuals with diabetes can maintain their mobility, reduce foot pain, and prevent long-term foot complications.
In Office Vascular Testing
Foot vascular testing is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that evaluates the blood flow in the arteries and veins of the feet. This test is performed to identify any blockages or abnormalities in the blood vessels that may cause poor circulation and increase the risk of foot complications, such as ulcers and infections. During the test, a healthcare professional uses a series of blood pressure readings in the arteries and veins of the feet. The test is painless, quick, and can provide valuable information for the prevention and treatment of foot-related issues in individuals with diabetes or other vascular conditions. By detecting any potential problems early on, foot vascular testing can help individuals maintain their foot health and prevent more serious complications from developing.

Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy is one of the most safe and effective ways to treat various conditions that cause foot and ankle pain! Laser therapy has a vast amount of benefits including:
- Accelerated cellular reproduction and growth – which is key in repairing the cells of cartilage, bone, tendons, ligaments, and muscle tissue.
- Reduced scar tissue that typically develops from specific injuries. When patients have less scar tissue, the likelihood of chronic pain is also reduced.
- Decreased inflammation and increased blood circulation

Everyone’s pain is different. Dr. Mahzoon of Cure Podiatry and Wound Care will diagnose and treat your unique pain – whether it’s in the heel, arches, ball of your foot and/or toes – getting you back to your daily routine with comfort and ease!
With 26 bones in the foot alone, as well as major ligaments, tendons, joints, and nerves – it’s not surprising that millions of Americans suffer various types of foot and ankle pain.
Class IV laser therapy is used for the relief of pain, to accelerate healing and decrease inflammation.
When the light source is placed against the skin, photons penetrate several centimeters down and are absorbed by the mitochondria (the energy producing part of a cell). This energy results in the restoration of normal cell function.
The main goal of laser therapy is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions, but at an enhanced rate.
Laser therapy is a quick and easy treatment allowing patients to relax during the procedure. In contrast to “cold lasers,” which provide no feeling or sensation, high power diode laser therapy provides a warm, soothing feeling.
Some of the most common source of foot pain include:
- Plantar fasciitis – which often creates moderate to severe heel pain
- Tendonitis including
- Achilles tendonitis
- Posterior tendonitis (or PTTD)
- Peroneal tendonitis (tendonitis affecting the midfoot and arch)
- Ankle sprains
- Neuroma (or a pinched nerve)
- Arthritis and inflammation
- Bunions
- Hallux limitus (or a stiff big toe joint)
Any one of these conditions can create chronic (long-term) pain or acute (short-term) pain.
Fungal foot infections. They can create major discomfort and even embarrassment. They are also EXTREMELY COMMON; affecting millions of people each year.
Additionally, fungus is easily spread. Individuals with fungus may have contracted it through shared bathroom space, public locker rooms, showers, and pools, shared clothing or shoes, even carpeting.
For some, fungus is simply genetic. When this is the case, treatment can become even more difficult given the likelihood of reoccurrence.
One of the most prevalent types of fungal foot infections directly affects your toenails. This type of condition is known as onychomycosis.
You may have onychomycosis if you notice any of the following symptoms:
- yellow or other discoloration of your toenails
- thickened or brittle toenails an unpleasant odor coming from the nail area
- pain
It’s not uncommon to feel discomfort and embarrassment due to the unsightly appearance and these symptoms of onychomycosis.
Fungal nail affects nearly 10% of the US population.
While many find the condition to be, simply, an eye sore, fungal nail can also lead to a larger problems incuding:
- infection of other toenails
- infecting friends and family
- increased pain
- ingrown toenails
- Individuals with diabetes are also more susceptible to fungal nail given their compromised immune systems.
Laser therapy offers an effective, safe option for treating fungal toenail without the side effects of many oral medications.
