Podiatrist Care Near South Lake Tahoe

Sierra Foot & Ankle specializes in all aspects of foot and ankle care for patients of all ages. If you are experiencing any kind of pain, mobility difficulties, physical deformity, skin or nail issue, or other concerns about your feet or ankles, we can help you:

• Heel & Arch Pain. Heel pain is the most common symptom we see, but there are several possible explanations for any one case—and just as many treatment protocols. We’ll make sure you get the right diagnosis and an effective treatment plan.
• Foot & Ankle Injuries. The Lake Tahoe region is awesome for outdoor sports and activity—but it can also mean painful foot and ankle injuries. We provide prompt, advanced, and effective care for both traumatic and overuse injuries, including onsite regenerative treatments with Ultrasound guided AminoFix injections, and MLS Laser Therapy.
• Foot & Ankle Biomechanics. Because feet are foundational for the entire body, even minor inefficiencies in their structure or movement can have wide-ranging, and occasionally severe, consequences. Dr. Melhuish specializes in biomechanics—she even studied to be a structural engineer! —and is extremely adept at identifying and addressing these problems.
• Skin & Nail Care. Clear and healthy skin and nails are not simply a matter of aesthetics. Of utmost importance—is maintaining your natural barriers against injuries, infections, and disease! From ingrown toenails to athlete’s foot, corns, calluses, blisters, cracked heels and more, we can help.
• Diabetic Foot Conditions. Diabetes poses special challenges for foot health, including nerve damage, wounds, infections, and more. We provide a comprehensive array of preventative and reactive care services, including advanced wound care, orthotics, shoe evaluations, vascular testing, and even diet and health recommendations.
• Pediatric Foot & Ankle Care. Podiatry isn’t just for adults! Children have foot care needs, too—and diagnosing and treating childhood foot problems often requires specialized knowledge and skills. If your little one is suffering, we can help correct an issue before it gets worse. We also provide highly effective treatment for one of the most frustrating and common conditions seen in kids, plantar warts. The needle-less application process delivers a precision amount of Bleomycin directly into the wart. Typically, one application is all that is needed to kill the wart.
