Conditions Treated
-
Bunion Pain
Bunions are bony bumps at the base of the big toe that can stick out, leading to pain, swelling, and trouble walking. They happen because of foot structure issues, bad shoes, or inherited foot shapes. Treatment includes using supports, wearing proper shoes, padding, and anti-inflammatory medicine, or surgery for severe cases. Early care helps control symptoms and slow down progression. Surgery fixes the toe alignment and eases long-term pain.
• MIS bunionectomy
• Lapiplasty
-
Ankle Pain
Generalized ankle pain can be caused by sprains, arthritis, tendonitis, or nerve problems. Treatment varies based on the cause, but common steps include rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) for recent injuries. Physical therapy helps strengthen and increase flexibility, while orthotics support the ankle and correct mechanical issues. Anti-inflammatory medications can reduce pain and swelling. Severe or long term pain may require surgery.
• PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Injections
• OCD lesion microfracture vs. repair
-
Sports Injuries
Sports injuries to the foot and ankle, like ankle sprains and ligament tears, are common and vary in severity. An ankle sprain happens when ligaments stretch or tear from sudden twists or impacts, causing pain, swelling, and instability. Ligament tears might need more serious treatment based on how bad the damage is. Proper care includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), physical therapy to regain strength and movement, and sometimes immobilization or surgery.
• Lateral and Medial Ankle Stabilization
-
Heel Pain
Plantar fasciitis causes heel pain due to inflammation of the thick tissue connecting the heel to the toes. Neuritis pain in the heel comes from irritated nerves like Baxter’s nerve, causing sharp, burning pain different from plantar fasciitis. Treatment includes rest, ice, shoe supports, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, and steroid shots. If pain continues, options like shockwave therapy or surgery may be needed. Early diagnosis and personalized treatment help relieve pain and restore foot use.
• PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Injections
• Endoscopic vs. Open Plantar Fasciotomy
-
Charcot Reconstruction
Charcot reconstruction is a surgery to fix serious foot and ankle problems caused by Charcot neuroarthropathy, often linked to diabetes. This condition weakens bones and joints, leading to fractures, dislocations, and deformities, which can cause ulcers, infections, and even limb loss if not treated. The surgery aims to stabilize and realign the foot and ankle to restore function and prevent more damage. It usually involves fusing bones, cutting bones to reshape them, and using devices to support the area.
• External Fixation with Gradual Correction
• Osteotomies/Fusions
-
Flat Feet
Flat feet, or fallen arches, happen when the arches of the feet collapse, making the entire sole touch the ground. This can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulty walking or running. Treatment depends on how severe it is and the symptoms. Non-surgical options include using arch-support insoles, physical therapy to strengthen foot muscles, and wearing proper shoes. In severe cases, surgery may be needed to fix the arch or foot structure.
• Flatfoot Reconstruction
-
High Arched Feet
High arched feet, or pes cavus, have an unusually high foot arch that puts extra pressure on the ball, the outside of the foot and heel. This can cause pain, instability, and trouble finding comfortable shoes. Common signs include foot pain, calluses, and weak ankles. Treatment ranges from using custom shoe inserts and physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility, to surgery in severe cases.
• Cavus Foot Reconstruction
-
Fractures
Foot and ankle fractures are common and can be simple cracks or complicated breaks. Foot fractures usually affect the metatarsals and toe bones, while ankle fractures involve the tibia, fibula, or talus. Treatment depends on how serious the break is and where it is located. Mild fractures can heal with casts, braces, rest, ice, elevation, and avoiding putting weight on the foot. Surgery is needed if the bones are out of place, unstable, or affect the joint, using plates, screws, or pins to fix them.
-
Arthritis
Foot and ankle arthritis is a joint disease causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and less movement. It often happens due to aging, injury, or diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Treatments depend on how bad it is and can include physical therapy, special shoe inserts, medicine, or injections. In serious cases, surgery to fuse or replace the joint may be needed.
• Forefoot, Midfoot, Hindfoot Fusions
• 1st MTPJ replacement
-
Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis and tears affect the tendon connecting calf muscles to the heel. Tendonitis is inflammation from overuse, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling near the back of the heel. Tears happen when the tendon partly or fully breaks, causing sudden pain and weak ankle.
Treatment for tendonitis usually includes rest, ice, pain relievers, physical therapy, and stretching. Severe cases might need a cast or boot. Partial tendon tears may be treated with immobilization and rehab, while complete tears often require surgery and therapy to regain strength and movement.
• PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Injections
• MIS (minimally invasive surgery) vs. Open Haglunds
• Achilles Tendon Repair
-
Hammertoes
Hammertoes are toes bent abnormally at the joints, often causing pain and trouble walking. They usually happen because of muscle imbalance, poor shoes, or health problems like arthritis. Treatment includes wearing good shoes, using supports, and physical therapy to ease pain and fix alignment. If severe, surgery might be needed to correct the toe.
• Hammertoe correction surgery
-
Neuromas
A neuroma in the foot, commonly referred to as “Morton's neuroma”, is a painful thickening of nerve tissue usually found between the third and fourth toes. It causes sharp, burning pain, numbness, or tingling in the ball of the foot. It often happens due to repeated pressure, irritation, or injury to the nerve. Treatments include wearing well-fitted shoes, using shoe inserts, off-loading pads, taking anti-inflammatory medicine, or getting steroid injections. If pain continues, surgery might be needed to remove the neuroma.
• Neurectomy
-
Pediatrics
Taking care of children's feet is important for healthy growth and avoiding future problems. Kids' feet are growing, and the growth plates—soft areas near the ends of bones—can sometimes hurt as they grow. This pain usually comes from irritation or stress during fast growth or activity. Treatment often includes rest, ice, good shoes, and sometimes special inserts or therapy to ease pain and support healthy feet.
-
Orthotics/Inserts
Choosing the right shoes and inserts is important to keep your feet healthy and comfortable. We will check your feet, how you walk, and pressure points to recommend OTC or create custom orthotics that improve alignment, reduce pain, and boost foot function. Regular check-ups, proper shoes, and the right inserts can greatly increase comfort and movement.
• Custom Orthotics
-
Diabetic Wound Care
Taking care of wounds in people with diabetes is very important to avoid problems. Because of poor blood flow and nerve damage, wounds heal slowly and can get infected easily. Treatments might also include removing dead tissue, antibiotics, and reducing pressure on the wound. Seeing a foot specialist early and managing wounds steadily helps prevent serious infections and amputations, supporting better healing and foot health.
-
Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy can stem from poorly controlled diabetes, infections, injuries, toxins or damage to the spinal cord. This causes numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness, mostly in the hands and feet. Treatment focuses on finding and fixing the cause, relieving symptoms with medicine, therapy, and lifestyle changes, and sometimes using nerve stimulation or surgery.
-

-
Corns/Calluses
Corns and calluses are thick, hard skin caused by repeated pressure or rubbing, usually on the feet. Corns are small, hard spots often on the toes, while calluses are bigger, less defined patches usually on the soles. They can hurt if not treated. Wearing proper shoes, taking care of your feet, and fixing the causes can help prevent and manage them.
