Foot and ankle care is a subspecialty of orthopedics that deals with the treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of disorders of the foot and ankle. Our trained specialists believe that prompt diagnosis, early intervention, and prevention are essential for care and treatment of foot or ankle conditions. Our physicians are more than just doctors. They’re specialists in helping patients overcome pain and improve their quality of life. They’ll take the time to learn about a patient’s specific needs.
Patients are carefully evaluated physicians then explore non-surgical or surgical treatment options to reduce or eliminate pain. These may include physical therapy or pain management through steroid injections, or anti-inflammatory medications or surgery.
