Arthritic Foot & Ankle Care

Arthritis in the foot and ankle can be a source of chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility—making everyday activities like walking or standing more difficult. At [Your Practice Name], we specialize in comprehensive care for arthritic conditions affecting the lower extremities, with personalized treatment plans aimed at reducing pain, improving function, and restoring your quality of life.

Understanding Arthritis in the Foot and Ankle

There are several types of arthritis that can affect the foot and ankle, including:

• Osteoarthritis – A degenerative joint disease that occurs with wear and tear over time.
• Rheumatoid arthritis – An autoimmune condition that can cause joint inflammation and deformity.
• Post-traumatic arthritis – Arthritis that develops after an injury, even if the injury occurred years earlier.
• Gout – A type of inflammatory arthritis that results from uric acid buildup in the joints.

These conditions can impact any of the 30 joints in the foot and ankle, commonly leading to swelling, stiffness, and tenderness.

Our Approach to Care

Our goal is to manage your arthritis symptoms with a combination of non-surgical and, when necessary, surgical treatments. Our foot and ankle specialists will perform a thorough evaluation, including a review of your medical history, a physical exam, and diagnostic imaging such as X-rays or MRIs.

Non-Surgical Treatments May Include:

• Custom orthotics or bracing
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Corticosteroid injections
• Physical therapy and strengthening exercises
• Lifestyle counseling, including weight management

Surgical Options May Be Considered When:

• Pain persists despite conservative care
• Joint damage is severe
• Mobility is significantly compromised

Surgical interventions can range from joint debridement to fusion or joint replacement, depending on the affected joint and severity of arthritis.
