🔬 Now Offering Advanced Laser Therapy in Our Office

We’re excited to introduce low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as a new treatment option for our patients. Backed by clinical research, this non-invasive therapy has been shown to:

✅ Reduce pain and inflammation in the lower extremities
✅ Improve circulation and nerve function for patients with neuropathy
✅ Accelerate tissue repair following injuries

LLLT works by using specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes at the cellular level. This can mean faster recovery, less pain, and better long-term outcomes—without the risks or downtime of surgery or medications.

In addition to pain and injury care, we also utilize focused laser technology for:

✨ Nail fungus (onychomycosis): Proven to target and clear fungal infection beneath the nail plate.
✨ Warts: A safe and effective way to treat stubborn viral lesions.

Our goal is to bring cutting-edge, evidence-based treatments into the office setting so patients can access the same technology trusted by sports medicine and regenerative care specialists worldwide.

Call 847-398-0900 to schedule a consultation and learn whether laser therapy is the right step for your recovery and wellness.

As a podiatrist and small business owner, I get a lot of credit for the healthcare we provide at The Foot and Ankle Studio — but the truth is, I mainly provide the health, and my incredible staff brings the care.

From the moment our patients walk through the door to the moment they leave, they’re met with kindness, warmth, and respect. Here, you are not treated like a number, but rather as a human being who matters. That’s something you can’t fake — and it’s why so many of our reviews speak to the experience, not just the treatment.

🛎️ Sharon and Amy are the first friendly faces you see, and they make sure the front office runs smoothly with grace and efficiency.

📋 Carola, who has been with us for over 20 years, is the backbone of our insurance operations and a true example of dedication.

👣 Ashley, Alex, and Gaby, our skilled medical assistants, make sure the back office flows seamlessly so us physicians can focus on what brings each patient in.

👨🏼‍⚕️ Dr. Richard Powers and Dr. Michael J. Tagge, my fellow associates, thank you for the collaboration, insight, and compassion you bring to our patients every day.

Our office isn’t like most. It's clean, calm, personal, and full of heart. That’s because of this team. I’m so proud of what we’ve built together. To our patients, thank you for noticing our efforts. We will always go the extra mile so your feet don’t have to.

Personalized Care on Your Terms:

Concierge medicine is a healthcare model where patients pay a membership fee for enhanced access to their physician. This often includes same-day appointments, longer visits, Saturday and evening hours and a more personalized approach to wellness.

Most concierge docs limit the number of patients they see, and they can offer more time, attention and tailored care to bridge the gap of traditional healthcare, and a truly patient centered experience. Here at the Foot and Ankle Studio, we strive to give you all of those added positive benefits WITHOUT the additional cost.

Here, we believe, even your feet deserve VIP treatment! Call us at (847) 398-0900 to schedule your appointment.

A simple 20-minute non-painful test, performed in our office, can tell if you have enough arterial blood supply to your feet. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common condition that narrows the arteries, reducing blood flow to your legs and feet. When this happens, the following symptoms may occur.

1. Pain in your legs at rest
2. Uncomfortable ache, fatigue, or cramping during walking or exercise
3. Color changes of your feet
4. Sores that don’t heal or are slow to heal
5. Commonly associated with diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, or stroke.

If you have any of these symptoms, please discuss it with your foot specialist. We care about your health.

Call The Foot and Ankle Studio at 847-398-0900.

All of us are awaiting spring. Let’s get our bodies moving, and here are some tips for being more active at home, at work, or out with friends.

1. Dry cracked skin
Changes in shoes are inevitable. As the weather gets warmer, the toes and heels are more exposed and can lead to painful, dry, cracked skin.

Treatments: Soak your feet. Pumice lightly and apply a light non-perfume lotion daily.

2. Heel Pain
As the weather gets warmer, we tend to be more active. The weekends are filled with more activities and exercise, which can lead to heal pain.

Tips:
-Call the office at 847-398-0900 to have your current orthotic evaluated. If you don’t have Orthotics and you’re experiencing foot pain, you probably should come in for a full examination.
-Purchase new shoes. If you do this, have your feet properly measured for size, width, and fit.
-Never go barefoot. It’s not good in the outside environment or at home. Protect yourself and your feet.

3. Sweaty Feet
As the temperatures rise, we perspire more from the bottom of our feet. An active person can sweat a pint of fluid per day. This leaves our feet at times, and our shoes smelly.

Tips:
-Wash daily with an antibacterial soap and dry thoroughly. Don’t forget in-between your toes.
-Change shoes daily so that they can properly dry out.
-Use a foot powder to keep your feet and shoes dry if you have perspiration.

If you have any other concerns or questions you’d like to ask, please don’t hesitate to call us for an appointment! 847-398-0900

The physicians at The Foot and Ankle Studio offer a non-surgical solution to treat ligament and tendon injuries and sprains that do not respond to conservative treatment. Amniotic fluid injections encourage tissue growth and regeneration of the impaired area. They stimulate your body's natural healing. Your native response will encourage blood flow, nutrients, and healing cells to the appropriate area. This expedites the healing process, decreases inflammation, and promotes recovery to shorten recovery time.

Amniotic injections are commonly used for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, sprains, and soft tissue injuries.

If you would like to learn more about amniotic injections, call the office and make an appointment at 847-398-0900.

Dr Tagge after testing his new orthotics at the Northshore Century and riding 125 miles.

Dr Tagge has been working to optimize his personal cycling dynamics and correct pain-causing malalignments. Utilizing new pressure plate analysis, he designed a custom foot orthosis thin enough to fit in a tight cycling shoe that was able to fix his knee pain and foot numbness. He is confident this solution would be helpful for cyclists and other sports like hockey, skiing, golf, and others.

If you're dealing with malalignment issues and sports, consider custom orthotics from The Foot and Ankle Studio! Give us a call at 847-398-0900 to get started on your pain-free journey.

It was a cloudy, cold, and rainy day, but everybody came together for a great cause and a challenging 2-mile swim. Reconnecting with colleagues gave everybody a warm feeling.
