Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are caused by an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle bones of the foot, often resulting in one or more ligaments on the outside of the ankle to be stretched or torn. If not properly treated, ankle sprains could develop into long-term problems. Read More...

Bunions
Bunions occur when the big toe drifts towards the second toe, while the large bone to the outside of the big toe (the metatarsal) begins moving in the opposite direction. The “bump” is actually the prominent head of the metatarsal bone. Patients often don’t realize that they have a bunion. Read More...

Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Cutting back the side of the toenail will often only provide short term relief of the pain. Our podiatrists will talk to you about a minor, surgical procedure done in our office that should provide you with relief from the painful, ingrown toenail. The procedure is called a partial matrixectomy and is a permanent removal of a small portion (of the side) of the toenail. After the surgery, the toenail looks normal but the side of the toenail is no longer in-grown. Read More...

Neuromas

Conservative treatments for neuromas include wider shoes, loosening of the shoelaces, topical anti-inflammatory creams and gels, and a cortisone injection. Read More...

Our office has numerous methods to help decrease the inflammation that causes the plantar fascia to become painful. Read More...
