ARTHRITS OF THE FOOT AND ANKLE

Arthritis or joint pain can come from a wide variety of causes. These include trauma such as a fracture involving the joint, overuse and stress on a joint such as in running or other sports, or systemic causes such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis. Each has a unique effect and we will evaluate every cause of joint pain to ensure optimal treatment both on a local and systemic level. This may include x-rays and advanced imaging, blood test evaluation and consult with another specialist. We will employ bracing, strapping , physical therapy, and orthotic techniques to relieve pain and improve function and be involved with the systemic treatment process to minimize further damage and recurrence. When necessary we will utelize the latest techniques in joint and bone reconstruction as well as foot implant surgery. The overall goal of treating foot arthritis is to eliminate pain while maintaining maximal joint function whenever possible, limit compensation elsewhere and prevent progression. treatment methods.
