Advanced Minimally Invasive Foot & Ankle Surgery in Houston

If you’ve been told you need foot surgery but are worried about pain or a long recovery, you’re not alone. Dr. Orlando Rivera offers minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery in Houston designed to reduce discomfort and help you heal faster.

MicroVisc™ Pressure Cushion Restoration Therapy by TheraMicro

When the natural cushioning under the foot begins to thin or break down, pressure increases around bony areas—often causing painful calluses, corns, skin irritation, and a burning sensation when walking or standing. Many patients describe it as feeling like they are “walking on bone.” Over time, this loss of protective padding can lead to chronic discomfort, difficulty wearing certain shoes, and reduced mobility.

Dr. Orlando Rivera offers MicroVisc™, an advanced minimally invasive treatment from TheraMicro designed to supplement and reinforce areas where soft tissue has diminished. Using a precise, image-guided technique, this therapy is carefully delivered to the affected area to help redistribute pressure and improve natural cushioning. The goal is to reduce pain at high-pressure points, improve daily comfort, and help patients in Houston move with greater confidence and stability.
