NEW YORK, NY — November 11, 2026 — Rottenberg Podiatry, the Upper West Side practice of board-certified foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Fabienne Rottenberg, DPM, FACFAS, today announced an expanded roster of in-office treatments for patients with nerve pain, joint pain and thinning of the natural padding of the foot.
The additions reflect a steady shift in podiatry toward office-based care that can delay or avoid surgery. All of the new options are performed at the practice at 285 West End Avenue, and each begins the same way: with a diagnosis and a conversation about whether the treatment actually fits the problem.
Qutenza for neuropathy of the feet
The practice now offers Qutenza, a prescription-strength topical capsaicin treatment applied in the office for burning, tingling nerve pain in the feet. For patients who have been told that pills are the only answer for neuropathy symptoms, it adds a drug-free-at-home alternative administered in a controlled clinical setting.
PRP and viscosupplementation injections
For heel, tendon and joint pain that has not settled with shoes, stretching or orthotics, the practice provides PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and viscosupplementation injections — hyaluronic acid gel injections that cushion and lubricate arthritic joints — alongside traditional cortisone. The goal, consistent with how Dr. Rottenberg practices, is to exhaust reasonable conservative options before anyone talks about surgery.
Liposana and fillers for fat pad atrophy
The practice has also added Liposana and filler injections for fat pad atrophy, a condition in which the natural shock-absorbing padding under the heel or the ball of the foot thins out and walking can feel like stepping straight onto bone. Rebuilding that cushioning in the office is a meaningful option for patients, particularly older adults and runners, who have been managing the problem with pads and inserts alone.
Availability
All treatments are available by appointment. Patients can book online through Zocdoc or call the office at (212) 724-4457. Office hours are Monday to Thursday, 9 am to 5 pm.
