Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment
Dr. Fishco can provide a proven, well-documented treatment protocol for painful peripheral neuropathy. If you have diabetes, you may have peripheral neuropathy, which is characterized by burning, tingling, and numbness in your feet. Neuropathy is generally worse at night or while resting. You may develop intermittent shocks and shooting pains. It may feel like you are walking on a wadded up sock, rocks, or worse yet, crushed glass. Read More

MLS Laser Therapy
Laser therapy uses light to favor and accelerate the body's natural healing processes. The laser beam is moved over the skin so that the light energy (photons) penetrates the tissue where it interacts with various molecules (chromophores) that cause different biological effects. It produces a photochemical, photothermal and photomechanical effect. Read More

Computerized orthotic scanning
Orthotics are medical devices that go into ones shoes that are designed to give arch support and control the function of your feet. I have the ability to use a digital scanner to make customized orthotic devices. I can also use plaster to mold feet for an impression. Computerized scanning is very accurate and quick and there is no messy plaster material to use.
