At New Orleans Podiatry, you’ll receive same-day appointments, urgent foot and ankle care, and direct after-hours access to your physician.

If you’re suffering from an acute foot or ankle problem—such as a severely ingrown toenail, a foreign body in the foot, or an ankle injury—your local urgent care center may not have the specialized expertise or equipment to treat you effectively. Many of our patients are referred directly from urgent care to Dr. Edward Lang, our board-certified podiatrist, for his experience and same-day availability.
At New Orleans Podiatry, we provide prompt, comprehensive evaluations and same-day treatment to address your urgent foot and ankle care needs efficiently.
Same-day appointments are available for urgent foot and ankle issues, including:

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most frequent—and most frustrating—causes of heel pain we see at our clinic. This condition arises when the plantar fascia, the thick band of connective tissue linking the heel to the toes, becomes strained, irritated, or inflamed.
At New Orleans Podiatry, your experience begins with a thorough clinical evaluation, same-day diagnostic imaging, and a subsequent deep dive analysis into your metabolic health if necessary to identify the root cause of your discomfort.

Integrative Podiatry blends the best of traditional podiatric medicine with evidence-based, non-pharmaceutical approaches to promote whole-body wellness through foot health. This holistic model recognizes that the feet are foundational to overall function and vitality—because a pair of feet never walks into a clinic without the rest of the body. By integrating clinical care with nutrition, lifestyle modifications, movement education, and personalized wellness strategies, integrative podiatry addresses both the symptoms and root causes of foot and ankle conditions. It prioritizes prevention, empowers patients through education, and supports the body’s natural healing processes—bridging modern medicine with a thoughtful, whole-person philosophy of care.
Peripheral neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which are responsible for transmitting signals between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body. This condition commonly affects the extremities, such as the fingers and toes, but can also involve other areas.
Neuropathy mapping is the process of identifying the true origins of nerve damage through deep-dive lab analysis, SudoScan, and/or biopsy testing, and then treating those drivers with targeted nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle changes, and—when appropriate—pharmaceutical support.
