Foot and Ankle Conditions We Treat
Achilles Tendonitis and Achilles Tendon Rupture
Pain at the back of the heel or lower calf is often Achilles tendonitis, and a sudden pop can mean the tendon has torn. We treat both, from rest and bracing to surgical repair.

Ankle Arthroscopy
An ankle scope lets our surgeons see and treat problems inside the joint through small incisions, such as impingement, cartilage damage and instability.
Ankle Fractures and Sprains
A twisted or injured ankle can be a sprain, a fracture or both. We examine and x-ray the ankle and treat it with a brace, boot, physical therapy or surgery.
Athlete’s Foot
Itchy, red, peeling skin between the toes is often athlete's foot, a fungal infection that thrives in warm, damp shoes and socks. Prescription creams or pills clear it up.
Bunions
A painful bump at the base of the big toe is usually a bunion. Treatment ranges from wider shoes and orthotics to bunion surgery, including the Lapidus procedure and minimally invasive correction.
Calluses and Corns
Corns and calluses are thick, painful patches of skin caused by pressure or rubbing. We trim them safely and fix the pressure that keeps bringing them back.
Diabetic Complications & Amputation Prevention
Diabetes can damage the nerves and blood flow in your feet. Regular foot exams catch sores and other problems early, before they lead to infection or amputation.
Diabetic Footwear
Custom diabetic shoes and inserts protect pressure points that can turn into wounds. We fit them in the office and help with the Medicare paperwork.
Gout
Gout causes sudden, severe pain, redness and swelling, most often in the big toe. We relieve the attack and help you prevent the next one.
Hallux Rigidus
Hallux rigidus is arthritis of the big toe joint, causing stiffness and pain when you push off. Orthotics and shoe changes help, and surgery is an option for advanced cases.

Hammertoes
Hammertoes are toes that bend or curl at the middle joint and rub inside shoes. Padding, orthotics and roomier shoes ease the pain, and surgery can straighten rigid toes.
Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis
Sharp heel pain with your first steps in the morning is a classic sign of plantar fasciitis. Most cases improve with stretching and orthotics, and OssaTron shockwave therapy can help stubborn heel pain.

Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail digs into the skin and can become red, swollen and infected. We remove the ingrown edge in a quick, numbed office procedure.
Joint Pain and Swelling
Stiff, swollen or painful joints in the foot or ankle are often caused by arthritis. Treatment ranges from orthotics and injections to joint fusion or total ankle replacement.
Morton’s Neuroma
Burning pain in the ball of the foot, or a feeling like stepping on a pebble, may be a Morton's neuroma. Wider shoes, padding and injections help most patients.
Nail Fungus
Thick, discolored or crumbly toenails are often caused by fungus. We offer laser toenail fungus treatment along with prescription options.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (P.A.D.)
Peripheral arterial disease narrows the arteries in the legs, causing cold feet, cramping and wounds that heal slowly. We check your circulation and refer you for vascular care when needed.
Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are rough, painful growths on the bottom of the foot caused by a virus. We remove them in the office with freezing, chemical treatment, excision or laser.
Stress Fractures of the Foot and Ankle
A stress fracture is a tiny crack in a bone, often from running, jumping or a sudden increase in activity. Rest, a walking boot and time off the foot help it heal.
Swollen Feet
Swelling in the feet and ankles can signal a circulation, heart, kidney or medication problem and should not be ignored. We help find the cause and manage the swelling.
Tingly or Burning Feet
Burning, tingling or numb feet are common signs of neuropathy, especially with diabetes. We test the nerves in your feet and help protect them from injury.
Orthotics
Custom orthotics are molded from your own feet to support how they move. They relieve heel, arch and joint pain and last years, not months.
