- Servicing Bel Aire Patients From Our Wichita Office
Central Kansas Podiatry Associates provides full-service foot and ankle care just a short drive from Andover. Our office at 1819 N Greenwich Rd, Ste B, in east Wichita is roughly 10 to 15 minutes from most Andover neighborhoods, and board-certified podiatrist Dr. Benjamin Weaver, DPM treats patients of every age, from toddlers taking their first steps to adults training for their next race. With appointments starting as early as 6:00 am, Andover residents can get expert foot and ankle care without missing a full day of work or school.
Why Andover Families Choose Our Practice
Andover is a community built around schools, youth leagues, and an active lifestyle. That means sprained ankles at practice, heel pain in growing kids, shin splints in new runners, and ingrown toenails that show up right before a big game. Dr. Weaver has been caring for patients on the east side of the Wichita metro since founding the practice in 2002, and his approach is simple: find the true cause of the problem, then use the least invasive treatment that will actually fix it.
- Short drive from Andover: Our office on Greenwich Road is only a few miles west of Andover, so there is no need to cross town.
- Early appointments: Visits begin at 6:00 am on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
- Care for the whole family: Children, teens, parents, and grandparents can all be seen in one office.
- In-office diagnostics: Digital X-ray, diagnostic ultrasound, and vascular testing are available on site through our diagnostic testing services.
Sports Injuries for Andover Athletes of Every Age
Whether your child plays for an Andover school team or you are getting back into running, the feet and ankles absorb more force than any other part of the body. Our foot and ankle injury care covers the problems we see most often in active Andover patients:
- Ankle sprains that keep rolling or never fully heal. See our guide to ankle sprain recovery.
- Achilles tendinitis from increased mileage or sudden changes in training. Read about Achilles tendinitis causes and treatment.
- Turf toe in football and soccer players. Learn what turf toe is and how serious it can be.
- Shin splints and stress fractures in runners and cross country athletes.
For athletes who want to return to play quickly without surgery, Dr. Weaver may recommend SoftWave therapy, an FDA-cleared treatment that supports the body's natural healing response in injured soft tissue. Parents can also review our answers on young athlete foot injury recovery without surgery and our tips for preventing sports-related foot and ankle injuries.
Children's Foot Care in Andover
Kids are not small adults, and their feet change quickly. Heel pain in a 10-year-old soccer player, toes that point inward, flat feet that cause fatigue, or shoes that wear out unevenly can all be signs that a child should be evaluated. Dr. Weaver treats a wide range of children's foot problems and helps parents make smart choices before the next school year or sports season. Our guide on how to choose children's shoes is a good place to start.
Custom Orthotics for Runners, Walkers, and Busy Parents
Andover's parks and paths make it easy to stay active, but repetitive impact can expose problems with foot structure. Custom orthotics from our office are built around your own foot shape and gait to reduce strain on the arch, heel, and forefoot. Dr. Weaver also discusses how foot health affects performance in running and other sports.
Nail and Skin Problems That Andover Patients Bring Us
Locker rooms, pools, and sweaty athletic shoes create the perfect environment for fungus and warts. Our nail and skin care services include treatment for athlete's foot, plantar warts, calluses, and fungal toenails. Painful ingrown toenails are one of the most common reasons teenagers visit our office, and they can usually be treated in a single, quick appointment.

Andover Podiatry Questions We Hear Often
How far is Central Kansas Podiatry Associates from Andover?
Our office at 1819 N Greenwich Rd in east Wichita sits just a few miles west of Andover Road. For most Andover residents, the drive takes about 10 to 15 minutes using 21st Street, 13th Street, or Kellogg (US-54/400) to Greenwich Road.
Does my child need a podiatrist for heel pain from sports?
Heel pain in active children between roughly 8 and 14 years old is often caused by Sever's disease, an irritation of the growth plate in the heel. It usually responds well to conservative care, but a podiatrist should confirm the diagnosis and rule out a stress fracture. Learn more in our article on Sever's disease in young athletes.
Can I get a podiatry appointment before work?
Yes. Appointments are available as early as 6:00 am on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and at 7:00 am on Wednesdays, so many Andover patients are seen before their workday starts in Wichita or Andover.
Are custom orthotics better than store-bought insoles for runners?
Over-the-counter insoles offer general cushioning, while custom orthotics are made from your own foot structure to correct the specific mechanics behind your pain. Dr. Weaver explains the difference in custom orthotics vs. OTC insoles.
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Weaver?
Many patients schedule directly, but some insurance plans require a referral. Call our office at (316) 269-3338 and our team can help you check what your plan requires before your visit.
