At New Orleans Podiatry, patients come to us for care that blends clinical excellence with the warmth and attentiveness our practice is known for.
Below, you’ll find our most sought-after services—each designed to relieve pain, restore function, and help you move with confidence.
Bunions can make walking painful and finding shoes difficult. Dr. Lang is one of the region’s most experienced bunion surgeons and a certified Lapiplasty® Centurion, meaning he’s performed over 100 advanced 3D bunion corrections. Lapiplasty addresses the root cause of your bunion, helping prevent recurrence. For patients needing a more complex correction, Dr. Lang’s reconstructive expertise ensures precise, lasting results.
At New Orleans Podiatry, we offer effective solutions for toenail fungus. Using proven medical therapies and advanced technology, we target the true source of infection and restore clear, healthy nails. Our approach protects both the nails and the surrounding skin while reducing the risk of recurrence.
And for long-term success, our ClearPlan Laser Membership provides ongoing care and prevention that keeps your feet looking their best.
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.
Regenerative medicine focuses on helping the human body repair and restore itself by using its own cells, growth factors, and repair mechanisms. At New Orleans Podiatry, we use advanced cellular therapies to address damaged tissues, improve blood flow, and support long-term recovery. Our approach is designed for patients who want to go beyond symptom management and work toward restoring normal function in their feet and ankles.
Dr. Edward Lang integrates regenerative medicine research and proven clinical practice, drawing from the latest advances in cell biology, tissue engineering, and wound healing. Whether we are supporting recovery from sports injuries, chronic joint pain, or slow-healing wounds, our goal is to help the body replace tissue, improve function, and maintain mobility.
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 each step reflects the harmony-or imbalance-of the entire 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.
Originally opened in 1999, The Barefoot is Louisiana’s first and oldest medical spa devoted entirely to foot health. What began as a clinical complement to podiatric care has evolved into a serene haven for healthy, strong, and beautiful feet.
Our philosophy blends clinical expertise with elevated self-care—uniting science and serenity in perfect balance. Every service is performed with sterilized instruments and pure, non-toxic formulations, reflecting our uncompromising commitment to whole-body wellness.
Ingrown toenails are one of the most common—and painful—conditions we treat, with patients of all ages visiting our clinic. At New Orleans Podiatry, you get same-day access, advanced techniques, and concierge-level follow-up so you can get back on your feet without delay.
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, on-site x-ray and sonogram, 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:

Dr. Lang’s approach is the culmination of decades of advanced training and experience. His method blends traditional and functional medicine—uniting the body's natural ability to heal with clinical excellence.

At New Orleans Podiatry, we believe your feet deserve the same level of artistry, precision, and refinement as any cosmetic procedure. Dr. Lang combines advanced surgical skill with an aesthetic approach that restores symmetry, smoothness, and comfort.
Whenever appropriate, he utilizes minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques, allowing many procedures to be performed through tiny incisions with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.

His expertise includes Lapiplasty® bunion correction as a designated Lapiplasty® Centurion Center, precision digital lengthening and shortening, and Leneva® fat-pad restoration for natural contour and pressure-free support.
Through customized bone and joint realignment, each procedure enhances symmetry, restores balance, and optimizes biomechanics for lasting comfort, stability, and performance.

Originally opened in 1999, The Barefoot is Louisiana’s first and oldest medical spa devoted exclusively to foot health. What began as a clinical extension of podiatric care has evolved into an intimate, serene sanctuary dedicated to nurturing healthy, strong, and beautifully cared-for feet.
Our philosophy blends clinical expertise with elevated self-care—uniting science and serenity in perfect balance. Every service is performed with sterilized instruments and pure, non-toxic formulations, reflecting our uncompromising commitment to whole-body wellness.

Concierge Integrative Podiatry is a patient-centered approach to foot and ankle care that combines the precision of modern podiatric medicine with the insight of integrative, whole-body health—delivered through an elevated, concierge-level experience.
At New Orleans Podiatry, we operate as a hybrid practice. While we accept traditional insurance for many services, every patient receives the same level of time, attention, and personalization typically reserved for concierge care. You are never rushed, never overlooked, and never treated like a number.
“Integrative” means we don’t stop at symptoms. We evaluate biomechanics, circulation, nerve health, inflammation, nutrition, healing capacity, and lifestyle factors that influence foot and ankle conditions—especially in chronic, recurrent, or complex cases. When appropriate, care may include advanced imaging, cutting-edge diagnostics, deep-dive laboratory analysis, regenerative therapies such as PRP, and evidence-based functional strategies—alongside traditional medical and surgical treatment.
The result is thoughtful, comprehensive care designed not only to treat pain, but to support stronger healing, better outcomes, and long-term foot health.
While the idea of “the best” is inherently subjective, excellence in podiatric care is often reflected in experience, clinical breadth, and patient trust. Dr. Edward Lang brings more than three decades of experience to New Orleans Podiatry, with an exceptional career that includes over 250,000 patient encounters—an achievement few in the region can match.

Patients consistently commend his ability to diagnose and treat a wide spectrum of foot and ankle conditions, from acute injuries to complex, longstanding pain.
