Comprehensive foot and ankle care, from common ailments to complex injuries.

At Opensky Podiatry, Inc., we provide comprehensive foot and ankle care in a comfortable and friendly environment. We diagnose and treat a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, from common ailments to complex injuries.

Diabetic Foot Care

Proper foot care is critical for individuals living with diabetes. We provide specialized diabetic foot care designed to prevent complications and protect your long-term health.

Diabetes can lead to serious foot issues such as:

Diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage causing numbness or tingling)
Poor circulation, which slows healing
Foot ulcers, infections, and increased risk of amputation

Our podiatry team offers routine screenings, custom treatment plans, and ongoing care to detect problems early, treat wounds and ulcers promptly, recommend diabetic-friendly footwear and orthotics, and teach daily foot care habits that keep you ahead of complications.

We work closely with your primary care doctor or endocrinologist to ensure your foot health is fully integrated into your diabetes management plan.

Bunion Treatment

Bunions are more than just a cosmetic concern — they can cause significant pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. Dr. Opensky takes a personalized approach to bunion treatment, starting with a thorough evaluation of your condition and lifestyle.

We offer a range of non-surgical options to relieve discomfort, including:

Custom orthotics to redistribute pressure away from the bunion
Footwear recommendations to reduce irritation and prevent progression
Padding and taping to stabilize the foot and improve alignment
Anti-inflammatory treatments to reduce pain and swelling

When conservative care isn’t enough, we specialize in bunion surgery to correct the deformity and restore function. Our team will walk you through every step of the process, from preparation to recovery.

Whether your bunion is mild or advanced, we’ll help you find the relief you need and get you back on your feet — pain-free. Learn more about bunion treatment →

Ingrown Toenail Treatment

Ingrown toenails are a common and painful condition where the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin — often leading to redness, swelling, and infection. We provide expert care to relieve discomfort and prevent the issue from recurring.

We offer a range of treatment options, including:

Partial nail avulsion to remove the problematic edge of the nail
Matrixectomy to prevent regrowth when needed
Nail splinting techniques to guide proper growth
Topical or oral medications to treat or prevent infection

We tailor our approach based on the severity of your condition and your medical history. Whether you’re dealing with chronic ingrown toenails or a painful flare-up, we’ll help you find relief fast — and keep the problem from coming back. Learn more about ingrown toenail treatment →

Ankle Sprains

Ankle sprains are one of the most common foot and ankle injuries, often caused by twisting or rolling the ankle beyond its normal range of motion. Whether it’s a mild stretch or a severe ligament tear, proper treatment is essential to ensure full recovery and prevent future injury.

We specialize in diagnosing and treating ankle sprains with a personalized care plan that may include:

Detailed physical evaluation and imaging (if needed) to assess severity
Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) strategies for early-stage care
Bracing or immobilization for moderate to severe sprains
Rehabilitation exercises to restore strength, balance, and range of motion
Preventative care and custom orthotics to reduce re-injury risk

Our goal is to help you heal quickly and get back to your normal activities without long-term complications. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury or a misstep, we’re here to support your recovery every step of the way.
