Foot & Ankle
Conditions Treatment
Comprehensive evaluation and advanced solutions for
foot and ankle concerns.
Bunions
A bunion is a structural change at the base of the big toe that shifts alignment and causes joint irritation. Over time, the deformity may progress and affect mobility. Early assessment helps determine the most effective approach to maintain comfort.
Common Symptoms:
- Joint prominence
- Pain with shoes
- Limited motion
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail edge grows into the surrounding skin, leading to irritation and swelling. If not addressed, it may progress to infection and persistent discomfort. Timely care helps restore comfort and reduces recurrence.
Common Symptoms:
- Redness and swelling
- Pain along the nail edge
- Drainage or sensitivity to pressure
Hammertoe
Hammertoe is a contracture of the toe joints that alters alignment and creates pressure inside footwear. Without treatment, stiffness and corns may develop, making walking more difficult. Evaluation helps determine the best approach to maintain mobility.
Common Symptoms:
- Toe bending or rigidity
- Pain with shoes
- Corns on the top of the toe
Heel Pain
Heel pain involves inflammation or strain in the tissues that support the back of the foot. When it progresses, walking and daily activity may become increasingly difficult. Early evaluation helps determine the source of discomfort and supports long-term function.
Common Symptoms:
- Sharp pain with first steps
- Tenderness along the heel
- Increased discomfort after activity
Peripheral
Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy affects the nerves that supply the feet, leading to altered sensation and discomfort. When untreated, symptoms may progress and interfere with balance and daily activity. Evaluation helps identify contributing factors and guide treatment.
Common Symptoms:
- Burning or tingling
- Numbness
- Sensitivity to touch
Stress
Fractures
Stress fractures are small cracks in bone caused by repetitive strain. Without proper care, they may worsen and lead to prolonged recovery. Early diagnosis supports safe healing and prevents further injury.
Common Symptoms:
- Localized pain
- Swelling
- Pain that increases with activity
Haglund’s Deformity
Haglund’s deformity is a bony prominence at the back of the heel that irritates surrounding soft tissue. Continued friction may lead to inflammation and chronic discomfort. Early assessment helps reduce strain and prevent worsening symptoms.
Common Symptoms:
- Pain at the back of the heel
- Swelling near the Achilles
- Irritation from shoe pressure
Tailor’s Bunion
A tailor’s bunion is a prominence on the outside of the foot near the little toe. Over time, irritation and inflammation may increase, especially with tight footwear. Early care helps reduce discomfort and prevent progression.
Common Symptoms:
- Pain on the outer foot
- Redness or swelling
- Difficulty with certain shoes
Gout
Gout is an inflammatory condition caused by uric acid crystal buildup in joints, often affecting the big toe. Without management, episodes may become more frequent and severe. Evaluation helps guide treatment and reduce future flare-ups.
Common Symptoms:
- Sudden joint pain
- Redness and warmth
- Swelling
Sesamoiditis
Sesamoiditis involves inflammation of the small bones beneath the big toe joint. Continued stress may lead to persistent pain and difficulty pushing off while walking. Evaluation helps determine the best way to reduce pressure and restore comfort.
Common Symptoms:
- Pain under the big toe
- Swelling
- Discomfort during push-off
Charcot Foot
Charcot foot involves weakening of bones and joints, often related to neuropathy. Without prompt care, deformity and instability may develop. Early evaluation is essential to protect foot structure and function.
Common Symptoms:
- Warmth and swelling
- Redness
- Changes in foot shape
Achilles Tendinitis
Achilles tendinitis involves irritation of the tendon that connects the calf to the heel. Continued strain may lead to chronic pain or tendon damage. Evaluation helps guide treatment and support safe activity.
Common Symptoms:
- Pain along the tendon
- Stiffness in the morning
- Swelling
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Tarsal tunnel syndrome occurs when a nerve on the inside of the ankle becomes compressed. If untreated, symptoms may progress and affect mobility. Early assessment helps protect nerve function and reduce discomfort.
Common Symptoms:
- Tingling or burning
- Numbness
- Pain along the inner ankle
Corns and Calluses
Corns and calluses develop from repeated pressure or friction on the skin. When they thicken, they may cause discomfort and interfere with walking. Evaluation helps identify underlying causes and prevent recurrence.
Common Symptoms:
- Thickened skin
- Tenderness
- Pain with pressure
Flat Feet
Flat feet occur when the arch does not support the foot as expected, leading to strain on surrounding structures. Without care, discomfort may increase and affect alignment. Evaluation helps determine supportive options.
Common Symptoms:
- Arch fatigue
- Heel or midfoot pain
- Difficulty with prolonged standing
Athlete’s Foot
Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection that affects the skin between the toes or along the foot. When untreated, irritation may spread or recur. Early care helps restore skin health and reduce symptoms.
Common Symptoms:
- Itching
- Redness
- Peeling skin
