Central Massachusetts Podiatry is broadening its range of foot health services to underscore the significance of comprehensive care that goes beyond treating common toenail issues. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Don Pelto and Dr. Neil Feldman, the practice is poised to enhance patient education and treatment of various foot and ankle conditions that affect overall health.

Patients seeking treatment for conditions such as foot and ankle arthritis, children’s foot disorders, flat feet, heel pain, corns and callouses, stress fractures, warts, ingrown nails, sports injuries, Achilles tendonitis, bunions, hammertoes, and neuroma can find tailored care at Central Massachusetts Podiatry. The practice consists of four highly skilled doctors—all experienced surgeons capable of treating patients of all ages.

To facilitate timely access to care, the podiatry office operates from two locations, providing patients with quick appointment scheduling typically within a couple of days. Patients are encouraged to seek consultation directly with podiatrists for their foot-related concerns rather than relying on urgent care or emergency rooms. This approach not only saves time but also can enhance recovery speed.

Dr. Pelto, a co-founder of the practice who speaks both Spanish and Portuguese, emphasizes that podiatry involves much more than addressing toenail problems. He highlights the importance of treating underlying issues related to nerves, muscles, tendons, and skin. This comprehensive perspective is essential for maintaining overall body function, as foot health is remarkably interconnected with a person’s overall well-being.

Collaborative Healthcare Approach

Central Massachusetts Podiatry works in partnership with a variety of healthcare professionals, including vascular surgeons, pediatricians, and neurologists, to develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to individual patient needs. This interdisciplinary approach facilitates holistic care and promotes better health outcomes.

Treatment Options

The practice offers a wide array of treatment options to address specific conditions and improve patient health, including:

  • Customized orthotic devices
  • Shockwave therapy
  • Swift wart treatment
  • Amniotic tissue allograft
  • Lunula laser
  • Surgical procedures

Each treatment option is customized for each patient, ensuring that their unique health issues are directly addressed. The office’s website provides additional resources, including a “3-Minute Foot Analyzer” and a recorded webinar series designed to further educate patients about foot health and treatment options.

Patient Sources and Fulfillment

About 50% of Central Massachusetts Podiatry’s patients come through referrals from other medical professionals, family, or friends, highlighting the trust and credibility established within the community. The practice aims to empower patients through education and effective treatment strategies, allowing them to understand their health issues and improve their conditions substantially.

Through its dedicated service and commitment to comprehensive foot health management, Central Massachusetts Podiatry is enhancing the lives of its patients while mitigating the challenges associated with foot and ankle disorders. As the practice continues to grow, it remains a vital resource for the community seeking specialized foot care.
