Plantar Fasciitis
Orthotics are custom-made shoe inserts that are designed to support the feet and improve foot function. Orthotics can be used to treat a variety of foot conditions, including plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and neuromas.
Medical Weight Loss
Arthritis can be a debilitating condition that affects the quality of life of those who suffer from it. In addition to foot pain, arthritis can also cause fatigue, fever, and weight loss. The impact of arthritis on daily activities can be significant, making it difficult to perform simple tasks like walking, standing, or even holding a cup.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
Those suffering from heel pain are directed to sit comfortably in our exam room treatment chairs while the doctors use the RSWT device. Much like a traditional ultrasound machine, these small, wand-like instruments are pressed against the painful areas of the foot, with the doctor describing what is happening (and why) and answering your questions during the session.

Orthopedics
His clinical interests include treating ankle issues and heel pain as well as performing bunion and hammertoe surgeries. He is also interested in orthopedics and sports medicine.
Ankle Surgery
Dr. Leisten is certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery and is a member of the American Podiatric Medical Association and the Texas Podiatric Medical Association.
Bunion Surgery
A bunion is a bump that forms most commonly around the big toe joint, and can be extremely painful. Symptoms can include swelling after wearing tight fitting shoes, and soreness on the outside surface of the big toe. The presence of a bunion causes pain for patients when they are wearing certain shoes that are snug-fitting or during physical activity. Early treatment consists of limiting the pressure and rubbing of the area of the bunion, adjusting shoe gear and fabrication of custom molded orthotics but can sometimes lead to surgical removal in severe cases. We utilize the latest surgical procedures to correct this problem if surgery becomes your only option. The mini-tightrope procedure for correction of bunions is an example of a new procedure that reduces the recovery time after bunion surgery. Before the best treatment for you can be determined, it is necessary for your foot to be x-rayed and evaluated by one of our Podiatrists. We can treat this condition at any of our offices throughout Houston, College Station, and Bryan, Texas. Call today for more information or to make an appointment and let is get you pain free.
Bunions
Common foot conditions that may require surgery include bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and neuromas. Foot surgery may also be necessary to repair fractures, correct deformities, or treat infections.
Ingrown Toenails
There are many different ways to treat ingrown toenails, mostly conservative. Sometimes the nail should be cut out, and a splint used. This is a procedure that should be performed by a podiatrist in an office to assure cleanliness of the tools used. Bacteria and infection can move in quickly.

Corns
Common causes of foot pain include plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, bunions, corns, calluses, and ingrown toenails. Other conditions that can cause foot pain include arthritis, gout, and neuropathy.
Ulcer
Calluses
Fungus
Athlete’s Foot is caused by a fungal infection on the skin of the foot. This fungal infection, also known as tinea pedis, causes peeling, flaking, scaling and itchiness in the general foot region. This is one of the most common skin infections of the feet. It is caused by the fungus Trichophyton and is normally transferred from person to person in moist areas where people usually walk around barefooted such as showers or bathhouses.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Foot injuries are common and can occur due to a variety of reasons such as sports injuries, accidents, or overuse. These injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to more serious conditions like fractures, sprains, and strains.
Physical Therapy
If you suspect you have a foot injury, it is important to seek medical attention from a podiatrist who can diagnose the injury and provide appropriate treatment. Treatment options may include rest, ice, compression, elevation, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery.

Heel Pain
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

General Podiatry
The doctor began his journey in the podiatry profession at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where he earned his undergraduate degree. He then earned his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, and he completed his training as a resident at the Podiatry Hospital of Pittsburgh, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Achilles Tendonitis
When a patient complains of pain at the back of the ankle with different activities like running or walking, Achilles Tendonitis diagnosed by a physical exam performed by a podiatrist can be alleviated. When it is diagnosed and treated early, it is usually very responsive to conservative treatment.
Ankle Instability
It is important to seek medical attention promptly for any ankle pain or discomfort, as untreated sprains can lead to chronic ankle instability and other long-term complications. By following a comprehensive treatment plan and taking steps to prevent future injury, individuals can often achieve significant improvements in ankle health and mobility.
Ankle Sprain
A sprained ankle is a common injury that occurs when the ligaments in the ankle are stretched or torn. This can happen as a result of a sudden twist or turn of the ankle, or from landing on the foot in an awkward position.
Bunions Problems
Bunions on the foot are an issue that affects many and are commonly treated by podiatrists. Bunions are usually a hereditary condition that is aggravated by shoes. These seemingly harmless bumps on the side of the foot can cause severe pain and are the most common reasons for visits to the podiatrist’s office.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes can be really tough on your feet even dangerous. Diabetes can cause nerve damage in the body’s extremities, causing a diabetic to lose feeling in their feet. Even the smallest of cuts, stepping on a thorn, or even a blister can result in a dangerous situation. With blood flow to the extremities lessened due to diabetes, any type of foot injury or laceration can quickly result in a very hard to heal situation.
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
Common foot conditions that can be treated with laser therapy include toenail fungus, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and neuropathy. The laser energy is delivered directly to the affected area, where it penetrates the tissue and stimulates healing.
Hammertoes
A contracture of the toes (or toe) due to deformity or a muscle imbalance between the top and bottom tendons of the toe is a condition called hammertoes. The toes can be flexible or rigid but when they are rigid, it is impossible to straighten the toe out by manipulating it. Depending on the severity of the treatment can be preventative, symptomatic, or curative. It is up to your doctor.
Heel Spurs
Calcium deposits on the heel can take months or even years to develop. They may be associated with overuse injuries, strains, excessive stretching of the plantar fascia, or other injuries. A number of other factors can increase your risk of developing heel spurs, including...
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail occurs when an edge of a toenail curves or breaks and digs into the skin. If left untreated, this can become an incredibly painful condition. At the point where the toenail is pressing into the soft skin, infection can set in. This can begin as a relatively minor problem that can become more severe, especially for those with poor circulation like diabetics.
Foot Injuries
Metatarsalgia
Common foot injuries include ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, stress fractures, and metatarsalgia. Symptoms can vary depending on the type and severity of the injury but may include pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty walking or standing.
Plantar Fasciitis
Risk factors for developing plantar fasciitis include obesity, high-impact activities such as running or jumping, and wearing shoes with poor arch support. Plantar fasciitis is also more common in individuals with flat feet or high arches.
Podiatric Deformities
Custom shoes that use advanced modeling techniques to create a perfect mold of the patient’s foot and to provide the most effective protection for patients with bunions and other foot deformities
Podiatric Surgery
Foot surgery is a type of medical procedure that is performed by a podiatrist to treat a variety of foot conditions. Foot surgery can be necessary to alleviate pain, improve function, and restore mobility to the foot.
