You lace up your running shoes, ready for your morning jog—until that familiar heel pain stops you in your tracks. Or maybe you're watching from the sidelines as your tennis partner plays another match without you. Perhaps you're a military service member worried that foot problems could impact your combat readiness.
At Bayshore Podiatry Center, we understand that foot and ankle issues are more than just a nuisance—they keep you from enjoying your active lifestyle to the fullest. That's why our experienced podiatrists, Dr. James Repko and Dr. Saleena Niehaus, take an innovative approach focused on getting you back to peak performance as quickly as possible.
A Forward-Thinking Approach to Podiatry
As a family-owned practice, we pride ourselves on providing personalized attention and customized treatment plans for each patient. Our state-of-the-art facility in South Tampa offers advanced therapies you won't find at most podiatry offices, including:
- MLS laser therapy. This painless, non-invasive treatment stimulates healing at the cellular level, providing rapid relief for conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and arthritis.
- Shockwave therapy. High-energy sound waves accelerate healing in soft tissue injuries like Achilles tendonitis and heel pain. Most patients experience significant improvement in just 3-5 sessions.
- Swift microwave therapy for plantar warts. This cutting-edge microwave therapy targets warts at the source, stimulating your body's immune response for faster clearance with minimal discomfort.
We also offer custom orthotics using advanced 3D scanning and printing technology, ensuring a perfect fit for your unique foot structure and biomechanics. By emphasizing non-surgical solutions whenever possible, we help you get back to your active lifestyle with less downtime.
Partnering With Tampa's Active Community
As avid athletes themselves, Dr. Repko and Dr. Niehaus understand the frustration of being sidelined by foot pain. Dr. Repko, named a Top Doc by Tampa Magazine, draws on his experience as an ultra-marathoner and triathlete to help patients optimize their athletic performance.
Dr. Niehaus is a recognized leader in innovative non-surgical treatments, with published research on advanced techniques for conditions like plantar fasciitis. Together, they've built a practice that serves a wide range of active Tampa residents:
- Weekend warriors. Whether you're training for a 5K or playing in a recreational sports league, we'll help you stay in top form with injury prevention and rapid recovery.
- Competitive athletes. We work with runners, dancers, tennis players, and other athletes to address sport-specific foot and ankle needs and get you back to competition fast.
- Military personnel. We're proud to serve the MacDill Air Force Base community, helping service members maintain combat readiness and treat common military foot problems like stress fractures and ruck march injuries.
- On-the-go professionals. If you rely on your feet for work, you can't afford extended downtime. We offer same-day appointments and effective conservative treatments to keep you on the job.
