SANDS POINT, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 6, 2018 / Dr. William Levine is a New York City podiatrist known as one of the best in his field. His specialty is biomedical, medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. His interest in an active lifestyle is reflected by his love of cycling and running, and this emphasis on a healthy lifestyle led him to his true passion: sports medicine. Levine knows how important it is for athletes and active people to be able to stay on their feet, and his love of sports medicine has made him one of the best in the field.
Dr William Levine Podiatrist:
William Levine was passionate about integrating sports medicine into his practice of podiatry. Levine sees sports medicine as more than something to specialize in; he sees it as a life philosophy that allows him to help people live the active lifestyle they are meant to lead. This philosophy applies to both athletes and regular people wanting to live a healthy and active life.
Heel Pain and Surgery:
Anyone who has suffered from heel pain knows how disruptive it can be to daily life. It affects your ability to walk, stand, play, work, and basically anything that requires time on the feet. Most often, heel pain is caused by plantar fasciitis or heel spur syndrome. Pain occurs when the tissue band that is attached to the bottom of the heel bone begins to pull as weight is put on it by walking. As the condition continues, the pulling can lead to pain and inflammation. Any activity that puts weight on the feet can exacerbate the issue.
Dr. Levine has perfected a minimally-invasive treatment option known as Radiofrequency surgery. This surgical treatment involves vaporizing the nerve (medical calcaneal nerve) that sends a pain signal to the brain (medical calcaneal nerve) via radio frequency waves. This surgery is a highly desirable treatment option as it is minimally invasive and has a short recovery time with only mild pain.
Heel Pain and Dermal Fillers:
Dr. Levine also performs a procedure to alleviate heal pain traditionally used in cosmetic procedures. When dermal fillers are injected into the ball of the foot, the plumping up feature best known for filling in wrinkles in the face, helps alleviate the pressure in the heels. Dr. Levine has made a name for himself performing this procedure with amazing results with a minimum of discomfort and recovery time.
Dr. William Levine is one of a handful in the New York area that performs the dermal-filler procedure; if you are experiencing heel pain that is disrupting your daily life, give Dr. Levine's office a call today to find out more information.
