Get Back to the Life You Love – Without Surgery. Marble Falls’ Trusted Foot & Ankle Specialist
Board-certified podiatrist Dr. Frank Henry uses advanced diagnostics and proven conservative treatments to find the real cause of your foot pain and fix it – so you can get back to golf, pickleball, walking the dog, and keeping up with the grandkids.
Medicare and most major insurance plans accepted.
Foot Pain Is Stealing the Lifestyle You’ve Earned.
You didn’t move to the Hill Country to sit on the sidelines. But when every step hurts, it changes everything. Your golf game suffers. Pickleball is out of the question. Even walking the dog around the block becomes something you dread instead of enjoy. And keeping up with the grandkids? That’s turned into watching from a chair.
At Marble Falls Podiatrist, we take a different approach. Instead of jumping to surgery or masking your symptoms with cortisone and anti-inflammatories, Dr. Henry uses in-office musculoskeletal ultrasound and digital X-rays at your very first visit to see exactly what’s happening inside your foot. We identify the underlying biomechanical and orthopedic cause of your pain — then build a personalized, conservative treatment plan to fix it at the source.
Conditions We Treat — Without Surgery
Each condition has its own dedicated treatment page with the full clinical breakdown. If you’ve been told you have one of these — or you suspect you do — start there.
Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis
That sharp pain in your heel with the first steps in the morning — or after sitting for a while — is the most common reason patients come to our Marble Falls clinic. It almost always responds to non-surgical care when the real cause is identified and treated at the source.

That bony bump at the base of your big toe doesn’t have to mean surgery. Many patients told they need a bunionectomy walk out of our clinic with a non-surgical plan that relieves pain, improves alignment, and gets them back into the shoes they love.
Learn About Non-Surgical Bunion Care →Achilles Tendonitis
Stiffness and tenderness on the back of your heel, worst on stairs and inclines, that won’t resolve with rest? Achilles tendinopathy responds beautifully to the right protocol — and badly to the wrong one. Cortisone injections in this area should be avoided.
Learn About Achilles Treatment →Foot & Ankle Arthritis
Joint stiffness, deep ache after activity, swelling that won’t go down. Most foot and ankle arthritis responds to conservative care that targets the specific joint affected — great toe, midfoot, or ankle — without the long recovery of fusion surgery.
Learn About Arthritis Treatment →Peripheral Neuropathy
Burning, tingling, or numbness in your feet — especially worse at night — isn’t something you have to live with. Many patients get meaningful relief from neuropathic symptoms with our advanced diagnostic evaluation, laser therapy, and targeted conservative protocols.
Learn About Neuropathy Care →Laser Fungal Nail Treatment
Thick, discolored, embarrassing toenails that haven’t responded to creams or pills? Our advanced laser treatment targets the fungal infection at the nail bed — no oral medications, no liver concerns, no downtime.

Already Been Told You Need Foot Surgery? Get a Second Opinion First.
Every year, patients walk into our Marble Falls clinic after being told that surgery is their only option — and walk out with a conservative treatment plan that gets them back on their feet without an operating room, without weeks of recovery, and without the risks that come with surgical intervention.
Dr. Henry’s approach starts with advanced diagnostic imaging — in-office musculoskeletal ultrasound and digital X-rays — to get a clear, detailed picture of your condition. From there, he identifies the biomechanical root cause and builds a non-surgical treatment pathway tailored specifically to your body, your condition, and your lifestyle goals.
If you’re facing a recommendation for bunion surgery, hammertoe correction, Achilles repair, or any other foot or ankle procedure — a second opinion costs you nothing but a visit. And it could save you from an unnecessary operation.

Back on the Pickleball Court — Without Surgery
“I was told I needed bunion surgery by another doctor. Dr. Henry showed me exactly what was happening with x-rays and an ultrasound right in the office, gave me a completely different treatment plan, and six months later I’m playing pickleball three times a week with zero pain.”
— Susan M., Marble FallsWalking My Dogs Again — Pain Free
“After months of heel pain that made it miserable to walk my dogs, Dr. Henry figured out the root cause in one visit. The custom orthotics and treatment plan changed everything. I’m back to my two-mile morning walks.”
— Robert K., KingslandStill Ranching, No Surgery Needed
“As a rancher, I’m on my feet from sunrise to dark. The arthritis in my ankle was getting unbearable. Dr. Henry’s team treated it without surgery and I haven’t slowed down since. Outstanding care from a team that genuinely listens.”
— Wade S., BurnetSee the Problem Clearly — At Your Very First Visit.
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. That’s why Dr. Henry performs both digital X-rays and musculoskeletal ultrasound right here in our Marble Falls office at your initial appointment — no referrals, no separate imaging centers, no waiting weeks for results.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound allows Dr. Henry to visualize soft tissues in real time: tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joint structures that standard X-rays simply cannot show. This means conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, Morton’s neuroma, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and tendon tears can be identified accurately and immediately — so your treatment plan is built on a complete diagnostic picture from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Marble Falls Podiatrist approach to foot and ankle care?
Marble Falls Podiatrist takes a conservative-first approach to foot and ankle care. Dr. Frank J. Henry, DPM, FACFAS — a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon with more than 30 years of practice — uses in-office digital X-rays and musculoskeletal ultrasound at every first visit to identify the underlying cause of your pain, then builds a personalized non-surgical treatment plan. Across 40,000+ patients, the practice maintains a 95% surgery-avoidance rate.
Do you offer second opinions before foot or ankle surgery?
Yes. Dr. Frank J. Henry of Marble Falls Podiatrist welcomes second-opinion patients before any foot or ankle surgery, and many leave with an effective non-surgical treatment plan instead. A second-opinion appointment includes a full diagnostic evaluation with digital X-rays and musculoskeletal ultrasound, an honest review of the surgical recommendation you received, and a clear explanation of whether conservative alternatives apply. Phone (830) 265-6000.
What conditions do you treat?
Marble Falls Podiatrist treats heel pain and plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, foot and ankle arthritis (hallux rigidus, midfoot, and ankle arthritis), peripheral neuropathy, bunions, hammertoes, Morton’s neuroma, tarsal tunnel syndrome, posterior tibial and peroneal tendonitis, ankle sprains, stress fractures, and fungal toenails (treated with laser therapy). All conditions are treated using conservative, non-surgical protocols.
What is musculoskeletal ultrasound and why do you use it at the first visit?
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that visualizes soft tissues — tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joint structures — in real time. Dr. Frank J. Henry performs musculoskeletal ultrasound at every first visit in our Marble Falls office because, unlike X-rays, ultrasound reveals plantar fasciitis thickening, Achilles tendon damage, Morton’s neuroma, and tendon tears at the moment of evaluation — so your treatment plan starts from a complete diagnostic picture on day one.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
A first visit at Marble Falls Podiatrist takes approximately one hour. It includes a full history and biomechanical evaluation with Dr. Henry, in-office digital X-rays and musculoskeletal ultrasound, an offloading test using specialized strapping where applicable, and a clear spoken assessment of what was found. Pricing and the full treatment plan are reviewed at the follow-up visit before any treatment begins.
