SPORTS MEDICINE

Dr. Gehegan offers management of acute and chronic injuries along with insight regarding their prevention. Personalized care involves a thorough history, evaluation of biomechanics, coordination of diagnostic imaging, and collaboration with other health care providers as needed. Common injuries are foot and ankle sprains, stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinitis. As an all season outdoor runner including trails, Dr. Gehegan is keenly aware of an athlete’s passion and dedication.She enjoys evaluating foot wear and sneakers as possible sources of conditions.

CUSTOM ORTHOTICS

Custom orthotics can be used temporarily or indefinitely for management and prevention related to a multitude of conditions. They are fabricated based on a model of the patient’s unique foot structure and contours with prescribed modifications if indicated. The materials utilized are also specified by the doctor. Custom orthotics provide support and cushioning with the goal of improving alignment and function. They are ideal for structural conditions such as flat feet (pes planus) or high arched feet (pes cavus) as well as overuse injuries such as plantar fasciitis. Dr. Gehegan has been using custom orthotics for three decades.

SKIN AND NAILS

Active lifestyles increase the likelihood of dermatologic trauma and infection. Athlete’s foot, fungal nails, ingrowing nails, calluses, dry skin and trauma can be both frustrating and embarrassing. Some conditions mimic each other and the infinite number of over the counter products creates confusion. Determining the correct diagnosis avoids wasting both time and money. Cosmetic solutions such as Keryflex can be utilized if appropriate.
