Dr. Matthew Wachtler, DPM, offers complete care for foot and ankle injuries at Cedar Grove Foot & Ankle Specialists. He provides comprehensive care and treatment for many ailments, including sprains, fractures, Plantar warts, bunions, foot pain, Plantar fasciitis, and toe fungus.
In addition, Dr. Wachtler also specializes in providing quick, effective therapy for conditions that could involve long-term recoveries. Fungal nail toes are an example. Topical lotions and medications may require long-term use in treating fungal conditions. The use of laser therapy shows promising results. Patients receive one treatment a month for three months. The therapy is a scientific, gentle treatment that eliminates the fungus. Dr. Wachtler then helps patients avoid a future occurrence.
Another procedure is Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
(ESWT). ESWT can reduce scar tissue, improve blood flow to injured areas, and improve mobility. Patients receive treatment once a week for five weeks. “ESWT is an effective tool to
treat injuries that have stalled in recovery, “ says Dr. Wachtler. “It reactivates the healing process.”
