Heel Pain/Plantar Fasciitis
Our clinic specializes in treating heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis using evidence-based methods. We combine physical therapy, custom orthotics, and MLS Laser Therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Patients benefit from individualized treatment plans that address biomechanical imbalances and prevent recurrence.
Fungal Toenails
We offer advanced solutions for fungal toenail infections, including Lunula Laser Therapy and targeted antifungal protocols. Our approach eliminates infections while preserving nail aesthetics, helping patients regain confidence in their foot appearance without invasive procedures.
MLS Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses dual-wavelength laser technology to reduce pain and inflammation in foot and ankle conditions. Effective for plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, and sports injuries, it promotes tissue repair without medication or downtime, with most patients experiencing improvement within weeks.
Sports Injuries
Our podiatrists treat sports-related foot and ankle injuries using sports-specific rehabilitation protocols. From stress fractures to turf toe, we develop recovery plans that maintain athletes' mobility while ensuring complete healing, with return-to-play guidance tailored to each sport's demands.
3D Printed Orthotics
We create precision-molded orthotics using 3D scanning technology for optimal arch support and pressure distribution. These customized devices correct biomechanical issues causing pain in heels, balls of feet, and toes, improving gait efficiency for daily activities and athletic performance.

Report
I want to say thank you for Dr. Berg and his staff for working my daughter, a UW student, into his busy schedule and for taking care of her ingrown toenail, which had been causing her significant pain. My daughter is not an established patient of Dr. Berg's and several other podiatry practices told us she'd need a referral from a primary or urgent care provider and even then would need to wait at least two weeks to be seen absent diagnosed infection, regardless of the amount of pain or discomfort she was otherwise in. Dr. Berg did not require a referral and worked her into his schedule the next day. She complemented his bedside manner and technique and was so thankful for being seen so soon. Thanks Dr. Berg for old school patient-centered care!
