Foot Filler Cushions at Empire Podiatry

Restore comfort. Relieve pressure. Walk pain-free again.

Foot filler treatment—also known as fat pad restoration—is a non-surgical, in-office procedure that helps restore lost cushioning in the feet. Over time, natural padding in the ball or heel of the foot can wear down, causing pain, pressure, and discomfort when walking or standing.

At Empire Podiatry, we use injectable dermal fillers to replace that lost volume, providing immediate relief and improved comfort—especially for patients with fat pad atrophy, high arches, or pain from high-impact activities or shoes.

How the Procedure Works

  1. Your podiatrist evaluates your feet and marks the target areas.

  2. A dermal filler (often hyaluronic acid-based) is carefully injected into the ball or heel of the foot.

  3. The filler restores volume and redistributes pressure across the foot.

The procedure takes about 30 minutes and provides immediate cushioning and relief.

Benefits of Foot Filler Treatment

Shockwave therapy is especially effective for chronic soft tissue injuries and overuse conditions, including:

Non-surgical and minimally invasive

Foot X-rays can reveal signs of arthritis, such as joint damage, bone spurs, and narrowed joint spaces. Patients experiencing joint pain, stiffness, or swelling may have X-rays to evaluate the extent of arthritis and help guide an effective treatment plan.

Quick, in-office procedure

X-rays play a key role in spotting breaks or fractures in the foot and ankle. After an injury or when symptoms like pain, swelling, or visible deformity appear, imaging is typically done to determine how serious the damage is.

X-rays are used to check how the bones in the foot and ankle line up, which helps identify issues like flat feet, high arches, or other structural problems. For those dealing with deformities or ongoing pain, X-rays provide important information to shape the right treatment plan.

RESULTS FROM INGROWN TOENAIL REMOVAL

YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THE CHANGE IN YOUR TOE AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE.

​

A full toenail removal will take several months up to a year for the toenail to grow back. Ingrown toenail surgery is effective and will prevent recurring pain and infection. However, if you wear a certain kind of shoe or participate in activities that create pressure on your toe, you can get an ingrown toenail again. If you recognize the signs early enough, you should be able to treat them without surgery.
