In-Office Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic

At Community Foot Clinic of McPherson, nothing is more important to us than the health and safety of our patients, our staff, and their families.

At the same time, not all foot and ankle problems can be handled via telemedicine, or wait indefinitely for the care that they need. And as a provider of essential health services, we need to be open in order to help our patients with urgent needs. If you have a foot problem, the last place you want to be is a hospital emergency room or urgent care center.

In order to keep our office as safe an environment as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking many additional steps to protect your health.

Our Response to COVID-19

Here are some of the ways we’re putting your health first:

Telemedicine

If your condition does not require an in-person physical procedure or test, it’s very likely we can provide all the guidance and treatment recommendations you require over a video conference. We strongly encourage patients with non-urgent needs to choose this option.

Learn more about our telemedicine services here.

Prioritizing urgent needs

As we said, some conditions are urgent and may not be appropriate for telemedicine. Examples of urgent needs include conditions that cause pain, infections, foot or ankle injuries, and diabetic foot concerns. Again, if it involves the feet and is something you might consider going to the ER or urgent care for, please call us first. We want to keep you out of harm’s way as much as possible.

    Spacing out appointments

    With more appointments going to telemedicine, we have reduced our overall volume of in-office appointments, and are scheduling them so that they are more spaced out through the day. This provides many benefits, including:

    • Limiting the number of people in our office at any given time.
    • Allowing you to be taken straight back to your exam room, instead of spending time with others in the waiting room.
    • Providing ample time to thoroughly sterilize equipment, disinfect patient rooms, and sanitize commonly touched surfaces (doorknobs, counters, etc.) between each patient appointment.

    Following all CDC guidelines and recommendations

    We are monitoring the situation closely for updates and meeting or exceeding all recommended precautions. This includes, but is not limited to:

    • All staff using approved personal protective equipment (masks, gloves, etc.).
    • Disinfecting all areas regularly, using CDC-listed cleaners proven effective against COVID-19.
    • Enforcing social distancing guidelines (6+ feet) to the greatest extent possible in all interactions

    Protect Your Health AND Get the Care You Need!

    Exceptional foot care should not be out of reach during a community disease outbreak, or for people who are immunocompromised.

    Community Foot Clinic of McPherson is leading the way in the Central Kansas community when it comes to providing high quality medical services without putting you or your loved ones at unnecessary risk.

    Struggling with a nagging foot condition?

    One System, Many Applications

    Laser therapy is not merely a one-trick pony; it serves as a versatile treatment option for addressing a spectrum of foot and ankle issues. While commonly associated with heel pain relief, its efficacy extends far beyond, effectively targeting chronic soft tissue pain stemming from conditions such as Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and Morton's neuroma. 

    By providing targeted relief, laser therapy restores mobility and improves the quality of life for patients suffering from these debilitating conditions.

    Exploring Other Sources of Chronic Soft Tissue Pain

    Chronic soft tissue pain can significantly impact daily life, hindering mobility and diminishing overall well-being. Laser therapy offers a beacon of hope for individuals grappling with conditions beyond heel pain. 

    Whether it's addressing Achilles tendinitis, characterized by inflammation of the Achilles tendon, or alleviating the discomfort associated with Morton's neuroma, laser therapy presents a non-invasive solution that promotes healing and reduces pain.

    Addressing Traumatic Soft Tissue Injuries

    Traumatic injuries such as sprains, strains, and contusions are all too common in the foot and ankle region, often causing acute pain and swelling. Laser therapy accelerates the healing process by promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation. 

    By harnessing the power of targeted light energy, laser therapy expedites recovery, enabling patients to regain function and resume their daily activities with minimal delay.

    Mitigating Neuropathic Pain

    Neuropathy poses unique challenges, manifesting as tingling, burning, and shooting pain in the feet due to nerve damage. Laser therapy offers a promising avenue for managing neuropathic pain by stimulating nerve regeneration and improving nerve function. This holistic approach not only alleviates symptoms but also enhances the overall quality of life for individuals living with neuropathy.

    Supporting Recovery Alongside Surgery

    Laser therapy plays a vital role in complementing surgical interventions for various foot and ankle conditions. Post-surgery, it aids in tissue healing, reduces scar tissue formation, and minimizes post-operative pain. By integrating laser therapy into treatment plans, healthcare providers can optimize surgical outcomes and facilitate smoother recovery trajectories for patients.

    Fostering Expedited Wound Healing

    Chronic or non-healing foot ulcers and wounds pose significant challenges, often requiring comprehensive wound care solutions. Laser therapy emerges as a valuable adjunct to wound healing protocols, promoting blood flow, enhancing tissue repair, and creating an optimal environment for healing. With laser therapy, patients experience accelerated wound closure, reduced risk of complications, and improved overall outcomes.
