FOOT PAIN TREATMENT FROM A FOOT & ANKLE SURGEON NEAR YOU
How We Treat Foot & Ankle Pain
Foot and ankle issues can arise from injury, overuse, deformities, or systemic health issues like diabetes. Our board-certified, fellowship-trained foot and ankle specialist is equipped to provide the full spectrum of care, from conservative therapies to advanced surgical procedures.
We treat common conditions such as:
- Arthritis of the foot and ankle, causing joint stiffness and pain
- Acute and stress fractures, including trauma-related injuries
- Bunions and hammertoes
- Diabetic foot issues, including ulcers and infections
- Ingrown toenails and other nail conditions
- Ankle injuries, including sprains, strains, and fractures
- Post-traumatic deformities and chronic pain
Our treatment approaches range from conservative methods to advanced surgical interventions. Physical therapy and orthotics are often the first line of treatment for many foot and ankle conditions. Physical therapy can help improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the affected area, while orthotics provide support and proper alignment to reduce pain and prevent further damage.
Some of our surgical interventions include:
- Bunion Removal Surgery: Corrects joint misalignment and relieves pain.
- Hammertoe Correction: Straightens curled toes for better function.
- Diabetic Foot Procedures: Addresses infections, ulcers, and circulation issues.
- Tendon Repair: Restores movement by addressing tears or ruptures.
- Broken Ankle Surgery: Uses surgical stabilization for complex or displaced fractures.
- Foot & Ankle Reconstruction: Rebuilds structure and alignment following severe injury or deformity.
Each procedure is performed with precision and an emphasis on preserving mobility. Our foot and ankle specialist is board-certified and fellowship-trained in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, providing comprehensive surgical care for patients throughout the Tampa Bay region with skill, compassion, and a commitment to long-term outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a specialist for foot or ankle pain?
If you're experiencing ongoing pain, swelling, numbness, or changes in foot shape, it’s time to consult a specialist. Early diagnosis leads to better outcomes and helps prevent long-term complications.
What causes ingrown toenails, and how are they treated?
Ingrown toenails can result from improper trimming or tight footwear. Minor cases can be managed at home, but persistent or infected nails may require a simple in-office procedure to remove the problem area and prevent recurrence.
How does diabetes impact foot health?
Diabetes can reduce circulation and sensation in your feet, making it harder to detect and slower to heal. Regular foot exams are key to preventing serious complications like ulcers and infections.
Are bunions always treated with surgery?
Not necessarily. Many people find relief with wider shoes, padding, or custom orthotics. If these methods don’t help, surgical realignment may be recommended.
