Comprehensive Foot & Ankle Care and Minimally Invasive Surgery in Austin, TX. Opening 11/2022!

Plantar fasciitis isn’t just heel pain — it’s tissue fatigue, micro-tears, and inflammation that your body often struggles to heal on its own.

At Align Foot & Ankle, Dr. Ho-Ellsworth uses a regenerative treatment approach with SoftWave Shockwave Therapy and Class IV Laser Therapy to jump-start your body’s natural repair process.

These two advanced therapies work together to:
✔️ Promote cellular regeneration and collagen remodeling
✔️ Increase circulation and reduce inflammation
✔️ Repair damaged fascia without injections or downtime
✔️ Provide lasting relief that restores movement and strength
✔️ Covered by Medicare for chronic heel pain

We then reinforce and maintain that healing with targeted support:
👣 3D custom orthotics to keep pressure balanced
🧘 Strategic stretching and recovery routines to prevent recurrence
🚨 Medical-grade home Photobiomodulation (Red Light) panel
🧬 Oral BPC-157 peptide, supporting ligament and tendon healing while reducing inflammation

Because true healing isn’t about masking pain — it’s about RESTORING the tissue that keeps you moving.

🌎 Over 3,500 miles away, our amazing medical assistant Tristan is hiking the Salkantay Trek in Peru.
This incredible trek is a 50-mile journey to Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World!
And he’s doing it all while repping Align Foot & Ankle in his Align shirt! 👟⛰️

We’re so proud of Tristan for taking on this high-elevation challenge! Thank you for sending us this postcard, Tristan — we can’t wait to have you back in the clinic soon.

50 miles?! You read that right. 😳
Our amazing MA Chris crushed an ultramarathon this weekend! 🏃‍♂️

He prepped like a pro with a Redvive red light therapy session and ran the race in his custom Align orthotics. Naturally, your body goes through some serious strain after 50 miles — so Chris is now recovering with BPC-157, Softwave, and laser therapy for some post-race plantar pain. 👣 Stay tuned to see how it helps him bounce back!

We couldn’t be prouder of his dedication and drive. As Dr. Ho-Ellsworth says, “Not lazy… just crazy!” 😆

🏁 It’s F1 weekend in Austin! While drivers fine-tune their performance at Circuit of The Americas, your feet deserve the same level of care and precision.

Every step puts your “suspension system” — your fat pads, joints, and tendons — to the test. Long days, wrong shoes, and repetitive stress can wear that system down, leading to:
⚙️ Painful calluses
⚙️ Fat pad loss (that “walking on bone” feeling)
⚙️ Bunions & hammertoes
⚙️ Nerve pain & diabetic foot issues
⚙️ Skin and nail problems like warts or fungal nails

At Align Foot & Ankle, Dr. Ho-Ellsworth keeps your feet race-ready with advanced, restorative treatments:
🏎️ Liposana fat pad rejuvenation — restores your natural cushioning
💥 Class IV laser therapy — reduces pain & speeds tissue healing
🔉Shockwave (ESWT) — jumpstarts recovery in chronic heel & tendon pain
🌱 Regenerative injections — umbilical cord–derived therapy to repair damaged tissue
👟 Custom orthotics — optimize biomechanics and comfort

Whether it’s from long walks at Circuit of The Americas or everyday wear and tear, your feet work hard for every lap of life — let’s keep them performing their best.

👣 𝕋𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕤𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕋𝕦𝕖𝕤𝕕𝕒𝕪 👣

Our 59-year-old patient came to us with a subungual exostosis (a bony growth under the toenail). This can lift the nail, cause pain, and even block the nail from growing out normally.

➡️ 13 weeks after her minimally invasive exostectomy with Dr. Ho-Ellsworth, her results speak for themselves:
✅ No pain
✅ Back to biking & jazzercise
✅ Nail free to grow out naturally again

She described the procedure as the “best thing in my life.”

⭐️ The nail will continue to grow out over time — stay tuned for her progress!

𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐬. 👟🏈

The Commanders’ running back went down in Week 2 on a non-contact play — no hit, just a sharp cut and a sudden tear. It’s one of the toughest injuries for athletes to come back from.

But here’s the thing: while the tear itself is sudden, the risk builds up over time. Tight calves and hamstrings mean the Achilles tendon is constantly under strain. Add explosive movements like sprinting, cutting, and jumping — and it can give way.

👉 𝐓𝐡𝐞 #𝟏 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤? 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲. Calf and hamstring stretches multiple times a day keep the tendon flexible and resilient. Combine that with proper warm-ups, supportive footwear, and balanced strength training, and you’ll drastically cut down your risk of Achilles injuries.

At Align Foot & Ankle, Dr. Ho-Ellsworth helps athletes prevent and recover from Achilles problems with:
✅ Digital gait scans & 3D custom orthotics to reduce tendon strain and improve mechanics
✅ Regenerative therapies: Electrohydraulic Shockwave, Class IV laser, and regenerative injections to accelerate healing and decrease inflammation
✅ Education & evaluation from Dr. Ho-Ellsworth on stretching, footwear, and safe return-to-play

Don’t let your season — or your workouts — end early. Protect your Achilles now.
