Chicago-based clinic advocates for accessible, high-tech solutions to common and complex foot and ankle conditions
CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / June 25, 2025 / As foot and ankle health continues to be overlooked in routine care, Gelbmann Podiatry is calling attention to the importance of early treatment, personalised care, and the use of advanced technology in podiatric medicine. Founded in 2016, the clinic has served thousands of patients in the Chicago area, blending hands-on attention with modern tools to address a full range of conditions-from chronic heel pain to diabetic wounds.
"We created Gelbmann Podiatry because we saw a need for more personalised, affordable, and technology-driven care," said the clinic's founder. "Our goal is to get people back to their lives-active, pain-free, and informed."
Why It Matters
Foot and ankle disorders affect more than 77% of adults at some point in their lives, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association. Yet, many people delay treatment, which often leads to more invasive care, higher costs, and longer recovery times.
Gelbmann Podiatry treats a wide spectrum of conditions including:
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Tendinitis
Hammer Toe
Athlete's Foot
Diabetic wounds and ulcers
By providing early intervention, patients are more likely to avoid surgery and return to activity sooner.
"The sooner we catch something, the easier it is to treat," said the clinic's lead podiatrist. "Our patients are often surprised at how much relief they can get with non-invasive care."
Tools That Make a Difference
The clinic is known for its use of advanced medical technology, including:
MLS Class IV Laser Therapy for non-invasive pain and inflammation relief.
High-resolution digital X-rays for same-day diagnosis.
Swift Microwave Therapy for fast, clean wart removal.
In-office minimally invasive procedures that reduce costs and downtime.
"We want to offer cutting-edge care without cutting corners," said the clinic's team. "Technology helps us do that in a way that's safer and faster for our patients."
Wound Care and Diabetic Foot Health
A growing part of Gelbmann Podiatry's practice includes advanced wound care, particularly for patients managing diabetes or vascular disease. According to the CDC, one in four people with diabetes will develop a foot ulcer, with poor treatment often leading to severe complications.
Gelbmann Podiatry's team uses a combination of targeted therapies, protective devices, and customised wound plans to reduce infection risk and improve healing outcomes.
"Foot wounds are time-sensitive," the clinic notes. "Delays can lead to avoidable hospital visits or even amputation."
Making Care Easier to Access
The clinic is also advocating for greater awareness around podiatric access, noting that many people suffer in silence because they assume foot issues are minor or untreatable.
"You don't need to ‘live with it,'" they stress. "Whether it's heel pain, ingrown toenails, or numbness-there are solutions, and many of them are quick and affordable."
Patients can often schedule same-week appointments, receive in-office care, and access transparent pricing before beginning treatment.
What You Can Do
Gelbmann Podiatry encourages individuals to:
Schedule annual foot exams, especially if diabetic or experiencing recurring pain.
Seek early care for minor symptoms before they progress.
Ask providers about advanced, non-invasive options before considering surgery.
Support community health education around foot and ankle care.
