Comprehensive Podiatry Care in Los Angeles
Your feet support you through every part of daily life, yet even minor discomfort can make walking, exercising, or standing difficult. At LA Foot Laser, our goal is to help patients move comfortably again through personalized podiatry services in Los Angeles that address the source of pain rather than only treating symptoms.
Patients looking for a podiatrist in Los Angeles often need more than quick pain relief. They want clear answers, treatment options that fit their lifestyle, and a physician who takes the time to explain every recommendation. Dr. Kourosh Harounian combines years of podiatric experience with advanced laser technology and diagnostic ultrasound to evaluate each condition carefully before developing a treatment plan.
LA Foot Laser treats a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including heel pain, plantar fasciitis, bunions, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, sports injuries, diabetic foot conditions, and biomechanical problems affecting walking and balance. Patients throughout Metropolitan and West Los Angeles choose our practice for comprehensive care in one location, from diagnosis through treatment to ongoing prevention.
If you need a foot and ankle doctor in Los Angeles, our team is committed to helping you move with less pain and greater confidence.
Conditions Treated by Our Los Angeles Podiatrist
As a trusted podiatrist in Los Angeles, LA Foot Laser treats conditions that affect the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, nerves, skin, and nails. Every patient receives a thorough exam, so treatment is based on the source of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Pain and Injury
Foot and ankle pain can make it difficult to stay active or complete everyday tasks. Some conditions develop over time, while others happen after a sudden injury. A proper diagnosis helps identify the cause of the pain so treatment can begin as early as possible.
We commonly treat:
- Heel pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Ankle sprains
- Stress fractures
Many patients improve with conservative care, such as rest, physical therapy, supportive footwear, or custom orthotics. If symptoms continue, more advanced treatments may be recommended based on your condition.
Nail and Skin Conditions
Healthy skin and nails help protect your feet from injury and infection. Even common problems can become more painful over time if they are left untreated. Our team carefully evaluates each condition before recommending the most appropriate treatment.
We treat a variety of nail and skin conditions, including:
- Toenail fungus
- Ingrown toenails
- Plantar warts
- Corns
- Calluses
- Athlete’s foot
Toenail fungus can cause nails to become thick, brittle, or discolored, while ingrown toenails often lead to pain, swelling, and redness. Your foot specialist may recommend treatment based on the cause and severity of your condition.
Structural Foot Conditions
The structure of your feet affects the way you stand, walk, and move. When the bones and joints are not properly aligned, extra pressure can build throughout the foot. This may lead to pain, stiffness, and difficulty with daily activities.
Our practice treats structural foot conditions such as:
- Bunions
- Hammertoes
- Flat feet
- High arches
- Neuromas
Many patients find relief with supportive footwear, custom orthotics, or other non-surgical treatments. If pain continues despite these options, surgery may be discussed to improve comfort and foot function.
Medical Foot Concerns
Some medical conditions increase the risk of serious foot problems and require ongoing care. Regular foot exams can help detect changes early, making treatment more effective and reducing the chance of complications.
We provide care for:
- Diabetic foot complications
- Foot wounds
- Foot ulcers
- Neuropathy
- Arthritis
- Foot infections
Patients with diabetes are often advised to schedule regular foot exams, even if they do not have pain. Dr. Harounian provides preventive care, wound treatment, and ongoing monitoring to help protect your long-term foot health.
Podiatry Services We Offer
LA Foot Laser provides complete care for many foot and ankle conditions. Every treatment begins with a detailed evaluation to understand the cause of your symptoms. Once a diagnosis is made, we recommend the option that best fits your condition, activity level, and long-term goals.
Heel and Arch Pain Treatment
Persistent heel or arch pain can have several different causes, so treatment should match the condition rather than the symptom. Our heel and arch pain treatment includes a thorough evaluation followed by options such as stretching, supportive footwear, custom orthotics, regenerative therapies, or other conservative care.
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Reducing strain on the plantar fascia is key to relieving ongoing heel pain. Our plantar fasciitis treatment may include stretching exercises, activity changes, orthotics, and other therapies that support healing and improve foot function.
Laser Toenail Fungus Treatment
Advanced technology can improve outcomes for stubborn fungal nail infections. With our laser toenail fungus treatment, we target the fungus beneath the nail using PinPointe FootLaser® technology without harming the surrounding skin.
Ingrown Toenail Removal
Prompt care can help relieve pain and prevent infection from getting worse. Our ingrown toenail removal may involve conservative treatment or a simple in-office procedure for recurring or infected nails.
Bunion Treatment and Surgery
Treatment depends on how much the bunion affects your comfort and mobility. We offer bunion treatment, including both non-surgical options and surgical correction when conservative care no longer provides relief.
Custom Orthotics
Better foot support starts with understanding how you walk. Our custom orthotics are designed specifically for your feet to improve alignment, reduce pressure, and promote healthier movement.
Plantar Wart Removal
Removing a plantar wart often requires more than over-the-counter products. We perform plantar wart removal based on the wart’s size and location to eliminate the growth while protecting healthy skin.
PRP Therapy
Some injuries need extra support to heal completely. Our PRP therapy uses a concentrated sample of your own blood to promote tissue repair in selected tendon and soft-tissue injuries.
Ankle Sprain and Sports Injury Care
A proper diagnosis helps prevent an injury from becoming a long-term problem. We provide ankle sprain and sports injury care that focuses on relieving pain, restoring strength, and helping you return to activity safely.
Diabetic Foot Care and Wound Care
Regular foot care plays an important role in preventing diabetes-related complications. At LA Foot Laser, we offer diabetic foot care and wound care, which includes routine exams, wound management, and ongoing monitoring to help protect your feet.
Nail Restoration
Healthy nails often take time to grow back after damage or infection. Our nail restoration services promote healthier nail growth and improve nail appearance as they recover.
Scrambler Therapy
Persistent nerve pain doesn’t always require surgery or long-term medication. Scrambler Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps retrain pain signals and may provide relief for certain chronic pain conditions.
Foot Pain and Heel Pain Treatment
Foot pain can affect every part of your day. It may become difficult to walk, stand at work, exercise, or enjoy activities you once did without discomfort. While some pain resolves with rest, ongoing symptoms should be evaluated by a podiatrist in Los Angeles.
Heel pain is one of the most common conditions we treat. Although plantar fasciitis is a leading cause, heel pain may also be linked to tendon injuries, arthritis, stress fractures, or nerve irritation. Since these conditions require different treatments, finding the cause is the first step.
Your visit includes a physical exam and, when needed, diagnostic imaging to confirm the diagnosis. Many patients improve with stretching exercises, supportive footwear, custom orthotics, or physical therapy. Surgery is only considered when conservative treatments do not provide enough relief.
Toenail Fungus and Ingrown Toenail Care
Toenail problems can affect both comfort and appearance. Thick, discolored nails may be caused by a fungal infection, while an ingrown toenail can make wearing shoes painful. Early treatment often prevents these conditions from becoming worse.
Toenail fungus usually develops slowly and may spread if left untreated. LA Foot Laser offers advanced treatment options, including PinPointe FootLaser® technology for eligible patients. After evaluating your condition, Dr. Harounian will recommend the most appropriate treatment for your needs.
Ingrown toenails happen when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin. Mild cases may improve with conservative care, but recurring or infected nails often need a simple in-office procedure. Treatment helps relieve pain and lowers the chance of the problem returning.
Bunion, Hammertoe, and Structural Foot Problems
Structural foot problems change the way your feet support your body. Bunions, hammertoes, flat feet, high arches, and neuromas can place extra pressure on joints, muscles, and tendons. Over time, this may lead to pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking.
Treatment depends on how severe the condition is and how much it affects your daily life. Many patients improve with supportive shoes, padding, custom orthotics, or physical therapy. If these options no longer provide relief, surgery may be recommended to improve comfort and foot function.
Custom Orthotics and Biomechanics
The way your feet move affects your ankles, knees, hips, and even your lower back. If your feet are not properly aligned, extra stress can build with every step. This added pressure may contribute to heel pain, arch pain, tendon injuries, and other foot problems.
Biomechanics is the study of how your feet move during walking and standing. By examining your gait, Dr. Harounian can identify movement problems that may be causing pain or worsening an existing condition.
Custom orthotics are designed specifically for your feet rather than using a general approach. They improve support, spread pressure more evenly, and help correct abnormal foot mechanics. Many patients use custom orthotics as part of a complete treatment plan to improve comfort and help prevent future injuries.
Diabetic Foot Care and Wound Care
Diabetes can affect your feet in several ways. Over time, it may reduce blood flow and damage the nerves in your feet. This can make it harder to feel cuts, blisters, or sores. A minor injury that goes unnoticed can become a serious problem if left untreated.
At LA Foot Laser, diabetic foot care focuses on finding problems before they become more serious. During each visit, Dr. Harounian checks your skin, nails, circulation, and sensation. Regular exams help catch changes early and lower the risk of infection or slow-healing wounds.
If you have a foot wound or ulcer, early treatment is important. Our team provides wound care, monitors healing, and recommends ways to protect the affected area. We also teach patients how to care for their feet at home to help prevent future problems.
Sports Injuries and Ankle Pain
Foot and ankle injuries are common in sports but can also occur during everyday activities. A twisted ankle, sore heel, or painful tendon may seem minor at first, but staying active can make the injury worse. Getting the right diagnosis early helps you recover safely.
LA Foot Laser treats ankle sprains, Achilles tendonitis, stress fractures, and other sports-related injuries. Dr. Harounian starts with a physical exam and may use diagnostic ultrasound to look at muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This helps identify the exact source of the pain.
Many injuries improve without surgery. Depending on your condition, treatment may include rest, physical therapy, supportive bracing, custom orthotics, or regenerative therapies. Our goal is to relieve pain, restore movement, and help you return to your normal activities with confidence.
Advanced Laser and Ultrasound Technology
The right technology can improve both diagnosis and treatment. At LA Foot Laser, advanced tools help us better understand your condition and monitor your progress. They also allow us to recommend treatment based on clear findings rather than guesswork.
Diagnostic ultrasound creates real-time images of soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Unlike an X-ray, it can show these structures in motion. This gives Dr. Harounian a better view of many injuries that cannot be seen during a physical exam alone.
Our practice also offers PinPointe FootLaser® treatment for eligible patients with toenail fungus. This laser is designed to target the fungus beneath the nail while protecting the surrounding skin. It provides a non-surgical treatment option for many patients who want an alternative to oral medication.
Technology is only one part of good care. Every treatment plan is based on your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and examination findings. By combining advanced tools with experience, we can recommend the option that best fits your needs and can provide you with real relief.
