Services

We provide diagnosis and treatment for all foot and ankle conditions including:

Achilles Tendon

The Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in the human body. A tough band of fibrous tissue, it is also known as the calcaneal tendon or heel cord.

Ankle Instability

Chronic ankle instability is a condition characterized by a recurring “giving way” of the outer (lateral) side of the ankle.

Ankle Sprains

If you are suffering from an ankle sprain, time is of the essence. The best results are achieved when the sprain is tended to immediately.

Arthritic Foot & Ankle Care

Arthritis refers to joint disease affecting one or more joints. The word itself means joint inflammation, which can be a symptom of the disorder along with pain, stiffness, and a decreased range of motion.

Athletes Foot

This painful condition can be relieved with injection therapy, custom orthotics, or oral anti-inflammatory and surgical intervention is used only as a last resort.

Bunions

A Bunion is a common, inherited, progressive problem of the great toe joint where the first metatarsal bone spreads outward and the big toe moves inward causing the joint to become deformed, weak and enlarged.

Calluses

Calluses are hard shields the foot develops to defend itself against pressure, irritation or friction. The pressure or friction that most commonly causes calluses is produced simply by shoes or ground pressure against the balls of the feet.

Corns

These painful lesions can easily be relieved by the painless trimming of these corns

Diabetic Foot Infections

Compromise of the blood supply from microvascular disease, often in association with lack of sensation because of neuropathy, predisposes persons with diabetes mellitus to foot infections.

Flat Feet

Painful flat feet can effectively be treated with biomechanical custom orthotics and appropriate shoes.

Fungal Toenails

Since fungal nails are usually more resistant and more difficult to treat than Athlete's foot, topical or oral antifungal medications may be prescribed.

Geriatric Foot Care

Geriatric patients make up a healthy contingent of our patients. As with all patients, our office emphasizes conservative non-surgical care.

Hammertoes

A hammertoe is a dislocation of the joint of any one of the toes. It is described as a hammertoe because it bends under like a claw, or like the hammer in a piano.

Heel Spurs

Heel spurs occur when calcium deposits build up on the underside of the heel bone, a process that usually occurs over a period of many months.

Infections

The doctors are all well versed in using all different types of antibiotics to resolve foot and ankle infections.

Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails are a common condition in which the corner or side of a toenail grows into the soft flesh.

Injuries

When you have had one ankle sprain too many it’s time to think about a stabilization procedure.

Metatarsalgia

Metatarsalgia means pain in the ball of the foot. This condition can be relieved by trimming painful calluses, specialized tapings and biomechanical custom orthotics and oral anti-inflammatory medication.

Neuromas

A neuroma is a benign swelling of a nerve usually between the third and fourth toe called Morton’s Neuroma.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis (PLAN-tur fas-e-I-tis) is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes.

Poor Circulation

If you are experiencing frequent swelling and cramping in your feet and legs it could be from poor circulation.
