Comprehensive Care for All Types of Foot & Ankle Conditions
Our podiatrists have extensive surgical experience treating a wide range of conditions affecting the foot, ankle and lower leg, including:
Bunions & Hammertoes
Those unsightly bumps on your toes aren’t just cosmetic concerns – without proper treatment, bunions and hammertoes can lead to difficulty walking, arthritis, and chronic pain. We offer both conservative care with custom orthotics and bunion pads as well as minimally invasive and traditional surgical correction to realign the foot bones.
Arthritis & Joint Pain
Arthritic foot and ankle joints can make even basic movements agonizing. Our doctors are experts in advanced options like ankle replacements, arthroscopic debridement and arthritic fusion procedures to reconstruct the joint and regain mobility.
Sports Injuries
For weekend warriors or seasoned athletes, we treat sprains, fractures, Achilles tendon injuries and other acute sports injuries in addition to chronic overuse issues. Our foot and ankle surgeons use the latest techniques in ligament repair, cartilage restoration and tendon surgery to get you back in the game.
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes can cause severe circulatory issues, increasing risks of foot ulcers, infection and potential amputation. Our physicians prioritize limb preservation through advanced wound care, total contact casting, and preventive diabetic shoes and orthotics.
Pediatric Deformities
Congenital foot problems in children like clubfoot or flat feet can lead to gait abnormalities and pain if untreated. We focus on early intervention and procedures like bracing, casting and minimally invasive surgery when needed.
Nerve Issues
Pinched nerves and conditions like Morton’s neuroma can cause numbness, tingling and shooting pains, especially in the ball of the foot. Our foot and ankle surgeons treat nerve compression and nerve damage through procedures like neurolysis, nerve decompression and neurectomy.
