Sports Medicine

Foot and ankle athletic injuries are very common. We specialize in sportsmedicine getting you back to sports as soon as possible. The most common foot and ankle sports injuries are plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, peroneal tendonitis, stress fractures, posterior tibial tendonitis, anterior tibial tendonitis, neuromas, tarsal tunnel syndrome, ankle instability, and metatarsalgia. Gait problems can also cause ileotibial band syndrome, patella tendonitis, back pain, hip pain and piriformis syndrome. Medications, injections, splinting, orthotics and/or physical therapy are often quite helpful in treating most injuries. Our doctors will discuss your injury and prescribe a course of treatment that will return you to sport stronger than when you came into the office.

Diabetic Limb Salvage

The most common reason diabetics are hospitalized in the United States is foot infections. I know that’s hard to believe, but true. Diabetes can be dangerous and devastating to your feet. The most common causes of these foot infections are improperly cut toenails and poorly fitting shoes. Yes, something as simple as a visit to the podiatrist to have your toenails cut and shoes custom fitted can avoid many amputations. Add poor circulation and lack of feeling known as peripheral neuropathy, and you have the prescription for disaster for diabetic feet.

Children's Foot Problems

Many children suffer from foot and ankle related pain. Some of their problems are due to inherited or congenital foot deformities. Others are due to overuse injuries from sports. Many skin problems also plague children. Our doctors are specially trained to treat pediatric foot and ankle problems from birth through adolescence.

Foot & Ankle Surgery

Many patients are concerned that they may need foot and/or ankle surgery to fix their problems. All of our doctors are extensively trained in the use of surgery to correct your foot and ankle woes, but we are definitely the most conservative surgeons in town. We offer extensive non-surgical options and therapy prior to recommending surgery. Common surgeries include bunions, hammertoes, neuromas, ankle stabilizatons, excision of tumors, joint replacements, ingrown toenails, fracture repair, foot and ankle fusions, tendon repair, flat foot reconstruction, repair of congenital foot deformities, and amputations. Whatever your foot and/or ankle surgical need, we have a physician with comprehensive training and experience to make your surgical experience more comfortable and successful!

Trauma

Fall down, go boom? Foot and ankle trauma is extremely common no matter how young or old you are. Fractures, torn ligaments and tendons, sprain and strains, puncture wounds and toenail trauma occurs every day. Our physicians can help put you back together so that you can recover from your accident as fast as possible. Don't wait too long to seek medical advice after yoour accident or injury. Delaying treament often only worsens the problem!

Skin and Nail Problems

Skin and toenail problems can be extremely annoying and painful. Itchy feet, sweaty feet, smelly feet, ingrown toenails, warts and fungal infections like tinea pedis and onychomycosis can lead to much bigger foot problems. Diabetic infections and ulcerations can lead to amputation and death! Don't ignore dermatology problems in your feet! Our doctors can help you with life's little annoyances and make sure you don't end up with a major pain in your foot due to skin and nail problems. State of the art treatments are now available for toenail fungus! You don't have to live with ugly toenails any more!

Foot Pain and Deformities

Foot pain related to congenital and acquired foot and ankle deformities is extremetly prevalent in our society. Pain can be from flat feet or a high arched foot and associated gait problems; or be from a progressive deformity like a bunion or a hammertoe. Our doctors are extensively trained to diagnose and treat the underlying deformity to help you function at your best. We want to prevent your problems from getting worse, no matter what you inherited from your family! God may have had a sense of humor when he created your feet, but we will work with you to optimize your biomechanical function and aesthetics! No one should suffer from ugly, painful feet!

Nerve-Related Foot Problems

Neurological foot and ankle issues can be a burning or shooting pain, numbness, weakness or just a "pins and needles" sensation. Nerve can be affected by compression at the spine level, knee level, ankle level or in your foot. Neuropathy can be a subtle nerve degeneration from aging, diabetes, and a myriad of other causes. Do not assume your nerve issues will go away or that nothing can be done.A proper diagnosis can lead to alleviation of your nerve troubles.
