How Foot and Ankle Deformities Can Impact Your Life
Foot and ankle problems like bunions, arthritis, and congenital deformities can be painful and limit mobility. At Essex Union Podiatry, we understand how much your feet impact your daily life. Any foot or ankle issue can reduce your activity levels and quality of life.
Common deformities we treat include:
- Flat feet (pes planus) – Causes pain along the inner arch and ankle. Makes standing for long periods difficult.
- Bunions (hallux valgus) – Bony bumps on the big toe joint lead to redness, irritation, and difficulty walking.
- Cavus foot (high arch) – Causes pain along the outer ankle and foot. Can increase risk of ankle sprains.
- Clubfoot – A congenital condition where the foot is twisted inward and downward. Causes difficulty walking.
Don’t let foot pain hold you back. Our specialist podiatrists offer both non-surgical and surgical options to realign your feet and get you moving comfortably again.
Why Early Intervention Is Important for Foot and Ankle Deformities
Seeing a foot specialist promptly can prevent worsening pain and future complications.
Getting early treatment means we can:
- Stop deformities from progressing before they become severe
- Reduce the need for surgery later on
- Improve long-term mobility and function
- Prevent issues like arthritis or sores from developing
The sooner you seek care, the more treatment options you have. We can get you on the path to healthy feet, especially for growing children. Don’t wait – call us as soon as you notice any foot irregularities.

What Are the Indicators That You or Your Child Might Need Foot or Ankle Deformity Correction?
See your podiatrist promptly if you notice any of the following symptoms:
- Pain, discomfort, or difficulty walking
- Changes in foot/ankle shape
- Limited mobility in the foot or ankle
- Calluses, corns, or open sores developing
- Redness, irritation, or swelling around the foot
Don’t ignore foot pain and assume it will get better. Seek an accurate diagnosis so we can get your feet back to full function.
Ignoring foot problems allows deformities to worsen, leading to:
- Increasing rigidity and loss of mobility
- Higher likelihood of arthritis
- Muscle contractures and joint stiffness
- Bone alignment issues causing pain
- Skin complications like corns, ulcers, and infections
- Psychological effects like low self-esteem
Save yourself from preventable foot pain and limitations. Essex Union Podiatry can determine the best time to intervene based on your unique symptoms and needs.
Comprehensive Care for All Your Foot and Ankle Needs
Essex Union Podiatry offers a full range of podiatric treatments, from general foot care to expert surgery.
Foot and Ankle Deformity Correction
Our podiatrists utilize advanced surgical techniques to realign and reshape misaligned or deformed foot and ankle bones and joints. This restores normal biomechanics and function for pain relief.
Sports Medicine and Injury Rehabilitation
We create tailored treatment plans utilizing physical therapy, orthotics, bracing and surgery to get athletes safely back in the game after foot or ankle injuries.
Ingrown Toenail Removal
Permanently remove part or all of an ingrown toenail and destroy the matrix to prevent recurring ingrown nails. This provides long-term relief from pain and infections.
Custom Orthotics and Bracing
Our podiatrists can provide custom-fitted orthotic shoe inserts and external braces to provide structural support, improve alignment, and offload pressure points. This relieves pain and improves mobility.
Diabetic Foot Care
We help diabetics prevent and treat dangerous foot ulcers, infections and other complications through regular exams, advanced wound care, orthotics, surgery and education on proper foot care.
Pediatric Podiatry
Early assessment and treatment of pediatric foot and ankle disorders ensures proper development and growth. We offer both surgical and non-surgical treatments for conditions like flat feet, in-toeing, and congenital deformities.
Wound Care for Ulcers and Infections
We utilize advanced wound healing modalities like hyperbaric oxygen therapy, bio-engineered skin substitutes, negative pressure therapy and growth factor gels to promote healing of stubborn foot ulcers and skin infections.
Minimally Invasive Bunion and Hammertoe Surgery
We use the latest minimally invasive surgical techniques to successfully correct painful bunion and hammertoe deformities while minimizing recovery time.
Ankle and Foot Arthritis Care
We help patients manage pain and retain mobility associated with ankle and foot arthritis through both surgical options like ankle replacement or fusion and non-surgical care like bracing, injections and physical therapy.
Ankle Replacement Surgery
For end-stage ankle arthritis, we offer ankle replacement surgery to replace the damaged joint and restore pain-free movement and function.
