Common foot & ankle conditions we treat
Our doctors specializing in foot and ankle can diagnose your pain, leading to treatment that can get you feeling better soon. Common foot and ankle conditions you may have include:
Achilles Tendon Injuries & Tendonitis: Strains, ruptures, or inflammation of the Achilles tendon from overuse or impact.
Ankle Dislocation: Traumatic misalignment of the ankle joint resulting in acute pain and instability.
Ankle Instability & Sprains: Ligament damage and chronic laxity leading to recurring instability and discomfort.
Arthritis (Foot & Ankle): Degenerative joint conditions—including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout—that cause stiffness, swelling, and chronic pain.
Bone Spurs: Bony projections around joints that can cause pain and restrict mobility.
Bunions & Foot Deformities: Structural abnormalities such as bunions, clubfoot, flat feet, and hammertoes that affect alignment and comfort.
Calcaneus/Heel Fractures: Breaks in the heel bone resulting from trauma.
Diabetic Foot Complications: Conditions like diabetic neuropathy and nerve compression that compromise overall foot health.
Flat Feet & Flexible Flatfoot in Children: Collapse of the foot arch affecting both adults and pediatric patients.
Fractures (General): Traumatic breaks in the bones of the foot or ankle not specified by other fracture types.
Gout: Inflammatory arthritis that causes joint pain and swelling in the foot and ankle.
Hallux Rigidus: Degenerative arthritis of the big toe leading to stiffness and reduced movement.
High Arched Feet: A structural abnormality that increases pressure on the foot and heel, potentially causing discomfort.
Lisfranc (Midfoot) Injury: Fractures or ligament tears in the midfoot region that compromise stability.
Metatarsalgia & Morton’s Neuroma: Painful conditions affecting the ball of the foot and the nerve tissue between the toes.
Overuse Injuries: Stress fractures, muscle strains, and shin splints caused by repetitive strain or improper footwear.
Peroneal Tendon Injury: Damage or strain to the tendons along the outer ankle due to overuse or sudden movements.
Pilon Fracture of the Ankle: A complex fracture of the distal tibia and ankle joint typically resulting from high-energy trauma.
Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain: Inflammation of the plantar fascia that results in persistent heel pain.
Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction & Tears: Weakening or injury of the posterior tibial tendon, leading to arch collapse and foot instability.
Sesamoiditis: Inflammation of the sesamoid bones under the big toe, causing localized pain during movement.
Sever’s Disease: A pediatric heel condition characterized by inflammation of the growth plate, resulting in heel pain in active children.
Stress Fractures (Foot & Ankle): Overuse fractures from repetitive strain affecting the bones of the foot or ankle.
Syndesmosis (High Ankle Sprain): Ligament injuries above the ankle joint that result in instability and require specialized care.
Tendon Rupture: Complete tears of foot or ankle tendons from acute injury or chronic degeneration.
Toenail Disorders & Ingrown Toenails: Abnormal nail growth that leads to discomfort and potential infections.
Talus Fracture: A break in the talus bone, crucial for ankle movement, typically resulting from high-energy trauma.
Turf Toe: A sprain of the big toe joint commonly seen in athletes due to repetitive hyperextension.
