What We Treat
Common Foot & Ankle Conditions We Treat Near Merrick
Cherrywood Foot Care diagnoses and treats a full range of podiatric conditions for patients of all ages across Nassau County.
Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis
One of the most common reasons patients visit a podiatrist. We treat the root cause using shock wave therapy, orthotics, and targeted injections.
Bunions
Painful bony bumps at the base of the big toe that worsen over time. We offer conservative management and surgical correction for lasting relief.
Ingrown Toenails
From mild cases to infected, recurring ingrown nails, our team provides fast relief and permanent solutions including nail bed treatment when needed.
Toenail Fungus
Using Noveon laser technology, we eliminate stubborn fungal infections that topical treatments cannot reach, with no downtime.
Diabetic Foot Care
Patients with diabetes face unique risks. We provide comprehensive diabetic foot exams, wound care, and preventive care to protect your health.
Foot Cysts & Soft Tissue
Ganglion cysts and other soft-tissue masses are evaluated and treated with aspiration, immobilization, or surgical removal depending on severity.
Ankle Sprains & Sports Injuries
Ligament injuries, stress fractures, and overuse conditions in active patients. We get you back on your feet quickly with evidence-based treatment plans.
Custom Orthotics
Precision-crafted custom orthotics based on your individual biomechanics, designed to redistribute pressure, correct alignment, and reduce pain.
Foot Doctor & Foot Specialist Care
Complete Foot and Ankle Care in Merrick, NY
As a foot doctor and foot specialist practice serving Merrick, Cherrywood Foot Care diagnoses, treats and helps prevent a wide range of foot and ankle problems. Along with the conditions above, our podiatrists care for corns, calluses and warts, hammertoes, flat feet and high arches, heel spurs and tendonitis, foot ulcers and infections, and fractures, sprains and strains of the foot and ankle.
Foot and ankle pain can change how you walk, stand and keep your balance, which matters even more as we age. The right treatment depends on the cause and severity of your symptoms and may include custom orthotics, medication, stretching and strengthening guidance, in-office procedures, or surgery when conservative care is not enough. We also take the time to explain proper foot care, from choosing the right shoes to managing chronic conditions like diabetes.
Toenail Fungus Treatment
Toenail Fungus and Laser Treatment Near Merrick
Toenail fungus, also called onychomycosis, can leave nails thick, discolored, brittle and misshapen. It is difficult to clear up at home, so it is best to have a podiatrist evaluate it before it gets worse. Cherrywood Foot Care offers laser treatment for toenail fungus.
Common Signs of Toenail Fungus
- White or yellow spots under the nail that spread over time
- A nail that thickens and becomes hard to trim
- Brittle, crumbling or misshapen nails
- A nail that loosens from the nail bed
- Yellow, brown, green or black discoloration
- An unpleasant odor
How Laser Treatment Works
The laser directs energy through the nail to the area where the fungus lives, heating and destroying it without harming the surrounding skin. Most patients need more than one session, and because the healthy nail has to grow out, it can take up to 12 months to see the full result. Signs of improvement include discoloration fading, flaky debris clearing and new nail growth with a normal shape and texture.
Helping Prevent Toenail Fungus
- Keep your feet clean and dry
- Wear shower shoes in public pools, bathrooms and locker rooms
- Change your socks and shoes every day
- Wear well-fitted shoes that are not too big or too tight
- Trim your nails short and straight across
- Avoid nail polish or artificial nails while an infection is healing

Frequently Asked Questions

Our team treats a full spectrum of foot and ankle conditions including heel pain, plantar fasciitis, bunions, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, foot cysts, diabetic foot complications, peripheral neuropathy, ankle sprains, sports injuries, and more. We also specialize in custom orthotics and surgical correction of foot deformities.
Yes. Cherrywood Foot Care accepts most major health insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, and many commercial insurers. We recommend calling our office or checking with your insurance provider to confirm your specific plan coverage before your visit.
For mild cases (redness and minimal swelling without pus), home remedies can help. Soaking the foot in warm water with Epsom salts, gently lifting the nail edge with cotton, and keeping the area clean with antibiotic cream are reasonable first steps. However, if you notice spreading redness, pus, or increasing pain, you should see a podiatrist promptly. Our team can provide fast, effective treatment and, for recurring ingrown nails, a permanent solution.
Diabetes can cause both nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) and reduced blood flow (peripheral vascular disease), leaving patients more vulnerable to foot injuries, slow-healing wounds, and serious infections. Regular podiatric exams are a critical part of diabetic care. Cherrywood Foot Care provides comprehensive diabetic foot evaluations to catch problems early and protect your long-term health.
Heel spurs are calcium deposits that form on the underside of the heel bone, often developing alongside plantar fasciitis. Treatment ranges from custom orthotics and stretching exercises to corticosteroid injections and extracorporeal shock wave therapy, a non-invasive option we offer at our Bellmore office.
A bunion is a bony enlargement at the joint of the big toe that causes the toe to shift toward the smaller toes over time. In early and moderate cases, we manage bunions with orthotics, footwear changes, padding, and anti-inflammatory measures. Surgery is considered when conservative options no longer provide adequate relief.
