General Practitioners

Warts
Arthritis
Plantar Fasciitis
The good news is that we know a lot about plantar fasciitis and how to treat it effectively. The high majority of cases are fully resolved or significantly improved within a few months of treatment. Itâ€™s all a matter of getting to the root of the problem and addressing it properly.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a treatment method that involves freezing warts. Your healthcare provider will likely numb the area prior to applying the liquid nitrogen in order to lessen your pain. The liquid nitrogen will then be applied directly to the warts. Once this procedure is completed, you can expect a blister to form around the wart and the dead tissue to gradually fall off.
Diabetic Foot Care

Mental Health
Whether you are active professionally, motivated to set new personal records, or just play for fun, getting out and moving is a great benefit to your physical and mental health. Anything that gets in the way of that is getting in the way of your overall well-being.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
Since ultrasound is both fast and inexpensive, it can be a helpful tool when seeing patients who suffer from common foot and ankle disorders.
X-Rays

Wound Care
Diabetic Foot and Wound Care Â â€“ The effects of diabetes on feet can result in dangerous wounds. Regular inspections, the right shoes, exercise, and hygiene are all crucial for maintaining your foot health. If you do develop a diabetic wound, you need immediate care to prevent infections and help it heal.
Ankle Surgery
As an active podiatrist, Carlos Barra, DPM continues to work hard to stay at the top of his field so he can always offer his patients the best and most up-to-date care. He maintains a board certification through the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery. He is also ACLS/BLS certified and maintains a complete medical licensure through the state of Pennsylvania.
Bunion Surgery
Itâ€™s often thought that the only way to treat a bunion is with surgical intervention – this is only partially correct. Sure, the only way to correct a wayward toe is with bunion surgery, but we have conservative treatment methods that can relieve symptoms and reduce the likelihood of progression.
Bunions
Bunions Â â€“ These are particularly common with middle-aged adults. Years of wearing ill-fitting shoes can contribute to bunion formation. Conservative care can alleviate discomfort and prevent the problem from getting worse. Surgery may be recommended for more severe cases to correct the wayward toe.
Achilles Surgery
Ingrown Toenails
Many ingrown toenails tend to be mild and can be treated at home, if you prefer. However, there are times when it is always
Reconstructive Surgery
When non-surgical techniques such as orthotics or shoe modifications cannot accommodate or alleviate discomfort, reconstructive surgery may be the best choice for you. Examples include...

Skin Cancer
In rare cases, a black toenail might be an indication of malignant melanoma, so black toenails are always worth checking out and treating, just in case.
Corns
Corns (a buildup of skin) on the top, side, or end of the toe, or between two toes. Corns are caused by constant friction against the shoe. They may be soft or hard, depending upon their location.
Calluses
The prominent sign of this condition is that unusual bump, but an inward-angled big toe is also a clue that a bunion has developed. Other symptoms that accompany the condition include redness, swelling, pain, and irritation. On account of the abnormal positioning, corns and calluses are more likely to form in the area. Wearing shoes or even walking can be difficult or painful.
Eczema
The infection can be mistaken for dry skin or eczema, which have similar symptoms. If you are unsure what is affecting your feet, schedule an appointment with our Ebensburg, PA podiatrist office and we can diagnose it for you.
Fungus
With this infection, the fungus is transferred to your foot through contact with an infected individual or a contaminated surface. The microorganisms can often be found in warm, humid environmentsâ€”human feet, locker room floors, indoor pool decks, and communal showering areasâ€”or residing on materials that touch them. Socks, shoes, and towels are often contaminated by someone who has the fungal infection.
Lesions
Plantar warts are small lesions that develop on one or both feet. While they can appear anywhere on the foot, they commonly form on the balls and/or heels. Plantar warts are regarded as generally harmless, but they can be painful, frustrating, and embarrassing, especially if the warts spread and/or rupture.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Sports Injuries Â â€“ Sports of all kinds are hard on the feet and ankles. There is a fair amount of risk of both overuse and traumatic injuries from physical activities. The right treatment not only repairs damage andÂ
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is an important part of the recovery process. It helps reduce foot pain and also improves range of motion, flexibility, and strength. Most patients can return to their normal activities within three to six months.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
Ankle ligament reconstruction. This procedure may be required to treat a severe ankle sprain, or repair ligaments that have become weak, wobbly, and unstable after repeated sprains.
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

Ankle Instability
HyProCure has been used to treat all types of ankle instability and flat feet conditions, from mild to severe cases. This treatment has helped countless patients find relief from their chronic foot pain and get back to living their lives.
Ankle Sprain
On some occasions, ankle injuries may need to be treated with surgery if all other options have been exhausted. Surgical procedures that we provide for this include...
Bunions Problems
Typically, bunions begin as a bump or outward bend of the big toe that is only a cosmetic concern. However, the misaligned, outward-bending toe stretches the ligaments that connect the foot bones and pulls against the tendons, gradually drawing the toe farther out of line.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
The sooner that a case of toenail fungus is identified and treated, the easier it tends to be to get rid of it. You can also reduce your risk of toenail fungus by protecting your feet in warm, wet areas that receive a lot of foot traffic, such as public showers and locker rooms.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a contractureâ€”or bendingâ€”of one or both joints of the second, third, fourth, or fifth (little) toes. This abnormal bending can put pressure on the toe when wearing shoes, causing problems to develop. Common symptoms of hammertoes include...
Heel Pain
The goal of heel pain treatment is to address its cause(s) at the source. We want to greatly reduce discomfort and, ideally, eliminate it altogether.
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail can be quite a pain. And if your ingrown toenail is more than just a minor nuisance, you want help fast!
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that extends from the heel to the toes. In this condition, the fascia first becomes irritated and then inflamedâ€”resulting in heel pain. The symptoms of plantar fasciitis are...
