Foot Deformities
Foot deformities such as bunions and hammertoes may be caused by injury, genetics, or other factors. No matter which type of deformity you’re suffering from, many of these conditions can be corrected through surgery.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. It is one of the most common causes of heel pain and affects millions of people each year. A variety of treatment approaches are available for this condition, including surgery.
Foot Injuries
A foot injury can severely restrict your mobility and, if left untreated, sometimes result in a deformity or other long-term condition. Our podiatrists can help you find the appropriate treatment approach for your injury to ensure an effective, speedy recovery.
Ingrown Toenails
This common condition involves the corner or side of your toenail growing into the soft flesh surrounding it, leading to symptoms such as pain and swelling in the affected area. An ingrown toenail may be adjusted or removed to relieve painful symptoms.
Foot Surgery
Our podiatrists regularly perform a wide array of surgical procedures, including joint fusion, tendo-achilles lengthening, gastroc recession, metatarsal surgery, and more. No matter the nature of your condition or injury, we can perform any procedure necessary to treat you, no matter its complexity.
Foot Infection
Numerous different types of infectious diseases can affect your feet, ranging from common conditions such as athlete’s foot to more serious problems that may result from an untreated open wound. Speak with one of our podiatrists to determine the right treatment approach for the infection you’re suffering from.
