Whether you
have a sprained ankle or a fractured toe, our goal at FDFAC is to make
sure your injury heals properly and you are able to return to your
normal activities as quickly as possible.
Diagnosis
Critical to determining the extent of injury and subsequent healing is accurate
diagnosis and monitoring. We utilize in-office digital x-ray to quickly
diagnose bone injury and trauma. This eliminates the need for multiple
trips to an imaging facility and back to the office for x-ray review and
treatment. Soft tissue injures such as plantar fasciitis can be easily
diagnosed with in-office ultrasound. If there is cartilage or ligamentous
injury, we are able to schedule you for MRI imaging within 1-2 days. Our
clinical partners make MRI, CT and ultrasound scans available online for
immediate access and review.
Treatment
We understand you desire to heal in the fastest time possible which is why
we offer the following treatments.
Ultrasound Guided Injections
At FDFAC we utilize ultrasound to assist us in injection placement. Ultrasound
enables us to visualize the injured area and pinpoint the exact location
desired for medication or anesthesia placement. Common indications for
this treatment include plantar fasciitis injections, neuroma injections,
PRP and regional nerve blocks. Without ultrasound guided injection placement,
there is a good chance the area being injected will be missed, requiring
additional injections and treatment.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
A revolutionary, minimally invasive treatment, PRP utilizes your bodies own
natural growth factors to speed healing to an injured area. PRP involves
using an individual’s blood – centrifuged to concentrate the
growth factor rich platelets – to intensify and accelerate the healing
response. For more than 20 years, PRP has been successfully used for tendon,
ligament, and muscular injuries. It is especially well suited for injuries
that haven’t responded to traditional treatments including rest,
immobilization, physical therapy, taping, orthotics, cortisone injections
and anti-inflammatories.
Bone Stimulation
Bone growth stimulation is the technique of promoting bone growth fractures
by applying ultrasound to the fracture. The EXOGEN system emits low-intensity,
pulsed ultrasound waves which stimulates the bone’s natural healing
process. These waves move through your skin and soft tissue to penetrate
the bone at the fracture site. Effective in just 20 minutes a day, Exogen
Bone Healing system heals fresh fractures 38% faster and heals 86% of non-unions. Learn

Viscosupplementation
Viscosupplementation involves injecting a thick fluid (hyaluronate) into
a joint afflicted with osteoarthritis. Viscosupplementation is based on
the physiologic importance of hyaluronan in synovial joints. Its therapeutic
goal is to restore the visco-elasticity of synovial hyaluronan, thereby
decreasing pain, improving mobility and restoring the natural protective
functions of hyaluronan in the joint.

" I
had never been to a podiatrist before, but was referred to see
one by my doctor & physical therapist after breaking my leg. I
went to just get orthotics, but what I got was probably hands
down the best podiatrist in Norther California.
Dr. Sanders (aka, "Dr.
Jenny") is not only a fantastic
podiatrist who will give 110% to make sure she diagnoses you
properly, but also a great personality. I actually look
forward to going to the podiatrist. She's is just great.
When
I was having problems with my ankle after having had a couple
surgeries, and my doctor and physical therapist felt that I
just needed more time and therapy, it was Dr. Sanders who listened
to me, worked with me, and then was the one who diagnosed with
me
bone spurs, which after having them removed, made a huge
difference.
I am thoroughly impressed with Dr. Sanders, her
state of the art equipment and thorough diagnoses, and her
effort to explain
everything
clearly. I cannot recommend this place enough."
