Additionally, Dr. Raestas and his team provide advanced care for corns, calluses, and diabetic foot ulcers.Most treatment plans at VP Foot & Ankle Specialist start with non-operative measures like medications, physical therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and custom orthotics. Treatments like these promote healing without scalpels, scarring, and long healing periods.Despite his focus on non-surgical therapies, Dr. Raestas has extensive experience with advanced surgeries like total ankle replacement and foot arthroscopy, or minimally invasive surgery, and can plan them in cases where conservative measures cannot provide relief.Any complication involving the foot or ankle can get worse with time because of the pressures of standing, walking, or wearing shoes that dont provide adequate foot support.
