What treatments are available for plantar warts?

At Cool Springs Foot Care in Franklin, TN, we offer Swift Therapy! Swift Therapy is an advanced treatment for plantar warts that uses low-dose microwave energy to safely heat the affected tissue, jumpstarting your body’s immune response to naturally clear the wart — without the need for acids, freezing, or surgical removal. Unlike traditional wart removal methods such as cryotherapy (freezing) or salicylic acid, Swift targets the underlying viral infection without damaging healthy tissue. This means faster healing, minimal discomfort, and no downtime after treatment.

What can I do for foot pain?

At Cool Springs Foot Care in Franklin, TN, we take a personalized approach to treating foot pain. After a comprehensive evaluation by Dr. Reeves DPM, we’ll recommend the most effective solution based on your condition and lifestyle.

We offer advanced, non-invasive treatments like MLS laser therapy, EPAT shockwave therapy, and custom orthotics to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility — often without the need for surgery.

If you’re suffering from bunions, hammertoes, or other structural issues, Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) may be an excellent option. MIS techniques allow for smaller incisions, less tissue damage, faster recovery, and significantly less post-op pain compared to traditional surgery.

No matter the cause of your discomfort, we’ll work with you to find a treatment that gets you back on your feet — pain free.

What new surgery is for hammer toes?

At Cool Springs Foot Care in Franklin, TN, we offer a modern alternative to traditional hammertoe procedures: Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) — a breakthrough technique that corrects deformities without pins, screws, or long recovery times.

Traditional hammertoe surgery often involves removing part of a joint and inserting a metal pin for 6–8 weeks, which can result in a stiff, fused, and unnatural-looking toe. In contrast, Dr. Reeves DPM performs MIS through tiny incisions, using specialized tools to realign the toe while keeping all joints intact.

Patients can walk immediately after the procedure, experience significantly less pain, and enjoy a faster, more comfortable recovery — all without the need for pin fixation.

This advanced approach results in a more natural-looking toe and helps patients return to daily activities with confidence and minimal downtime.

So, how do you fix a hammertoe?

Hammertoes can be corrected using two surgical techniques — and at Cool Springs Foot Care in Franklin, TN, we specialize in the most advanced, patient-friendly approach available.

Traditional Open Surgery
This older method involves a larger incision to expose the joint or tendon. While it allows direct access, it often requires pin fixation and leads to longer recovery times and stiff, fused toes. Common procedures include: Joint fusion (arthrodesis), Tendon lengthening or transfer, and Bone removal (arthroplasty).

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)
Dr. Reeves, DPM uses MIS to correct hammertoes through incisions as small as 2–3 mm. With the help of fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray) and precision tools, he can straighten the toe while preserving joint flexibility — and without inserting any pins.

Typical MIS techniques include: Targeted bone shaving or realignment and Small-scale soft tissue adjustments.

The result? A natural-looking toe, less post-op pain, and immediate walking for patients — all with minimal scarring and faster healing.

What is this painful callus on the bottom of my foot?

If you’re dealing with a painful, thickened area on the bottom of your foot, it’s likely a callus or corn — both caused by abnormal pressure from your shoes or the way your foot moves when you walk.

At Cool Springs Foot Care in Franklin, TN, we start by identifying the underlying biomechanical issue. In many cases, pain can be relieved with custom inserts or other offloading treatments that redistribute pressure and reduce friction.

When conservative options aren’t enough, Dr. Reeves, DPM may recommend a Minimally Invasive Procedure to correct the underlying cause. Through a tiny incision — with no hardware and no stitches — he can remove the pressure point that’s causing the lesion. Patients are able to walk immediately after surgery, with minimal downtime and long-term relief.
