Services for Ankles

Ankle Sprains

Ankle sprains occur when the ligaments surrounding the ankle joint are stretched or torn due to a sudden twist or forceful movement, often resulting in pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Individuals should consider booking an appointment with our podiatrists if symptoms do not improve after a few days of rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE therapy).

Ankle Fractures

Ankle fractures occur when one or more bones around the ankle joint break. These fractures can range from minor cracks to severe breaks that may require surgical intervention. Symptoms such as severe pain, swelling, bruising, difficulty walking or bearing weight on the affected ankle can occur due to a significant injury or accident. Our podiatrists can provide a thorough evaluation, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment plan to ensure proper healing and prevent long-term complications.

Achillies Injury

An Achilles injury refers to damage or strain occurring to the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This injury can range from mild inflammation (tendonitis) to more severe issues like a partial or complete tear. It often results from overuse, sudden increase in physical activity, or inadequate warm-up. If someone experiences persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, or difficulty walking or participating in activities due to an Achilles injury, they should consider visiting our podiatry office right away.

Services for Feet

Bunions

Bunions are bony protrusions that form at the base of the big toe, often causing the big toe to lean towards the smaller toes. They can result from a combination of genetic factors, improper footwear, and certain foot mechanics. Individuals should book an appointment with us if they experience persistent pain, swelling, redness, difficulty in finding comfortable shoes, or if the bunion interferes with daily activities. Early intervention can help manage symptoms and prevent potential complications.

Corns, Calluses, Warts

Corns and calluses are thickened and hardened areas of skin that develop due to repeated friction or pressure on the feet, often caused by ill-fitting shoes or repetitive motions. Corns typically form on bony areas, while calluses are more widespread. Foot warts, on the other hand, are caused by a viral infection and appear as small, rough growths on the skin’s surface. Each of these issues can result in persistent pain, discomfort, and changes in the appearance of your feet. However, our podiatrists can help you alleviate and eliminate these common foot issues quickly.

Flat Feet

Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, refer to a condition where the arches of the feet are significantly reduced or absent, causing the entire sole of the foot to make contact with the ground when standing. This can lead to overpronation and potential biomechanical imbalances. Individuals should consider booking an appointment if they experience persistent foot pain, discomfort, or if flat feet are affecting their daily activities, posture, or causing issues in other parts of the body such as the knees, hips, or lower back. We can provide proper diagnosis, advice, and potential treatment options to address the underlying concerns associated with flat feet.

Heel Pain

Heel pain refers to discomfort or soreness experienced in the bottom or back of the heel. It can result from various causes, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, heel spurs, or nerve compression. If heel pain persists for more than a few days, becomes severe, interferes with daily activities, or is accompanied by other symptoms like swelling, redness, or difficulty walking, it is advisable to book an appointment with a podiatrist. Our podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating foot and ankle issues and can provide personalized guidance and treatment options to alleviate heel pain and prevent further complications.

Custom Foot Orthotics

Custom Foot Orthotics

Custom foot orthotics are specialized shoe inserts designed to provide support, alignment, and comfort to the feet, helping to alleviate various foot-related issues such as pain, improper gait, and biomechanical abnormalities. These orthotics are individually crafted based on a person’s unique foot structure and specific needs. Our medical professionals will properly asses both your foot structure and your daily activities to direct you to a tailored orthotic solution.

Fungal Foot Infections

Fungal foot infections, also known as athlete’s foot or tinea pedis, are common skin infections caused by fungi that thrive in warm and moist environments. These infections typically affect the skin between the toes and can cause symptoms such as itching, redness, scaling, and sometimes blisters.

You should consider booking an appointment with a podiatrist if you experience persistent symptoms of a fungal foot infection that do not improve with over-the-counter anti-fungal treatments, or if the infection spreads to other areas of your feet, becomes painful, or shows signs of secondary bacterial infection. Additionally, individuals with diabetes, compromised immune systems, or other underlying health conditions should seek prompt medical attention to prevent complications. A podiatrist can provide accurate diagnosis, recommend appropriate treatments, and offer guidance on preventive measures to manage and prevent future fungal foot infections.

Foot Fractures

Foot fractures are breaks or cracks in the bones of the foot, often caused by trauma or repetitive stress. They can range from small hairline fractures to more severe breaks. It’s important to book an appointment with a podiatrist if you experience persistent pain, swelling, bruising, difficulty walking, or any change in the shape or alignment of your foot after an injury. Our doctors can diagnose the extent of the fracture, recommend appropriate treatment, and help prevent potential complications.

Services for Toes

Hammer toe

Hammer Toes

Hammer toes are a foot deformity where one or more toes become bent at the middle joint, resembling a hammer-like shape. This can lead to discomfort, pain, and difficulty wearing certain shoes. If conservative measures like proper footwear and toe exercises don’t provide relief, book an appointment today. Early intervention can help prevent further complications and improve overall foot health.

Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails occur when the edge or corner of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, swelling, and potential infection. If someone experiences persistent discomfort, signs of infection (such as pus, increased pain, or warmth), difficulty walking, or if the ingrown toenail doesn’t improve with at-home care, they should see our podiatrists soon. Our doctors can provide proper treatment, including trimming the toenail safely, providing pain relief, and preventing further complications.

Fungal toenails

Fungal Toenails

Fungal toenails, also known as onychomycosis, are a common fungal infection that affects the nails, typically starting at the edge of the nail and spreading gradually. This condition can lead to discoloration, thickening, and brittleness of the nails, often causing discomfort or pain. Individuals should see us if they notice these symptoms and have underlying health conditions like diabetes or if the infection spreads or worsens despite over-the-counter treatments.

Diabetic Footcare/Gout

Diabetic Foot Evaluations

Diabetic foot evaluations are thorough assessments conducted by podiatrists (foot and ankle specialists) to monitor and manage foot health in individuals with diabetes. Due to diabetes-related complications, such as nerve damage and reduced blood circulation, the feet become susceptible to issues like ulcers, infections, and slow-healing wounds. It is advisable for individuals with diabetes to book an appointment with a podiatrist on a regular basis, especially if they experience any foot-related symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, changes in skin color, or if they notice any cuts, sores, or blisters that are not healing properly. These evaluations help prevent and address potential complications, ensuring optimal foot health and reducing the risk of serious problems such as amputation.

Gout

Gout treatment for feet involves managing the symptoms and underlying causes of gout, a form of arthritis caused by excess uric acid buildup. The treatment typically includes medications to reduce pain and inflammation during gout attacks, as well as long-term strategies to lower uric acid levels through dietary changes and medication. An appointment with our foot specialists should be scheduled if you’re experiencing recurrent or severe gout attacks affecting the feet, have difficulty walking or performing daily activities due to foot pain, or require guidance on gout-specific foot care and prevention measures.

Reconstructive Surgery

reconstructive surgery
  • Flat feet: Reconstructive surgery for flat feet involves procedures to correct the alignment and structure of the foot’s arch, often addressing issues with the tendons and bones.
  • High arch feet: For high arch feet, reconstructive surgery aims to alleviate pain and improve stability by adjusting bone and soft tissue positioning.
  • Diabetic Charcot Reconstruction: is a surgical intervention for individuals with diabetes who have developed Charcot neuroarthropathy, a condition causing deformities in the foot due to nerve damage.
