Effective Neuropathy Relief Without Medications or Surgery

Living with neuropathy can be exhausting. The pain, burning, tingling, numbness, or cramping can make it hard to walk, sleep, or even just enjoy your day. And for many people, traditional treatments—like medications or surgery—either don’t work well enough or come with unwanted side effects.

At Dr. Joel Foster’s office, we understand how important it is to find relief that’s safe, effective, and doesn’t rely on drugs or invasive procedures. That’s why we’re proud to be one of the few offices in the country to offer Neurogenx—a breakthrough, FDA-cleared, non-surgical, and drug-free treatment—combined with our dual-wavelength MLS laser therapy for a unique and effective approach to reducing neuropathy symptoms.

Why Foot Ultrasounds are a Game-Changer in Podiatry (And Why You Might Need One)

Have you ever been told, “Let’s wait and see how it feels in a few weeks?" When it comes to foot pain, waiting often means more limping, more guessing, and more frustration. That’s where diagnostic ultrasound comes in—a fast, affordable, and incredibly precise way to see what’s really going on inside your foot or ankle. No waiting. No guessing. Just answers.

Podiatrist's Honest Review of The Good Feet Store

In this video, board-certified podiatrist Dr. Joel Foster shares his thoughts on The Good Feet Store and discusses his experience and patient feedback over the years. He explains that while picking up a pair of inserts from The Good Feet Store may seem like a quick fix, there are much better and much less expensive options available.

Dr. Foster outlines his key concerns with The Good Feet Store, including:
✅ Receiving medical treatment from individuals with no medical background.
✅ Being sold multiple devices when you only need one pair specifically designed for your needs.
✅ The products are not true custom orthotics, but rather prefabricated inserts taken off the shelf, not made specifically for your feet.
✅ The cost of inserts from The Good Feet Store typically cost around $1,800 and up, while a true pair of custom-calibrated orthotics from a certified podiatrist costs only $375.

If you're considering investing in orthotics, Dr. Foster recommends getting casted for custom-calibrated orthotics. These offer personalized support that addresses the underlying biomechanical issues causing foot pain. We’re confident that we offer the best orthotics and braces available in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area—and at the best value too.
