Services in Detail

Ankle and Foot Injuries

Treatments for a broken foot or ankle vary depending on the severity of the injury and which bone has been broken. Treatment methods include immobilizing broken bones in the foot or ankle; reduction procedures to place pieces of bone back into their correct positions; and surgical procedures.

Bunions

Bunions are abnormal lumps that form on the big toe that can crowd the other toes and cause pain. Treatment methods include padding or taping the foot, appropriate painkillers, cortisone injections, or surgery.

Corns and calluses

Corns and calluses are hardened layers of skin that develop in response to friction and pressure. Treatment methods include trimming the hardened skin, salicylic acid treatments, antibiotic ointments, orthotics (shoe inserts), or surgery.

Foot complaints associated with diabetes and other diseases

Treatment methods for foot ulcers and other diabetic foot concerns include casting, diabetic shoes and inserts, antibiotics, and surgery.

Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails occur when the corner or side of a toenail grows into the toe’s soft flesh. Treatment methods include separating the nail from the overlying skin, removing the ingrown portion of the nail, chemical or laser removal of the nail bed, and/or using topical or oral antibiotic treatments.

Plantar Fasciitis

A common cause of heel pain, plantar fasciitis results from inflammation of the plantar fascia, the band of tissue the spans the bottom of the foot. Treatment methods include physical therapy; orthotics; night splints; medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids; or, in rare cases, surgery to detach the fascia from the heel bone.
