Foot and Ankle

Foot and ankle pain can impact your quality of life by limiting your mobility. Feet and ankles are susceptible to arthritis, sports injuries, fractures, sprains and other injuries.

At CORE, we specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of a wide range of foot and ankle conditions in adults, children and seniors, as well as rehabilitation following trauma or surgery. We treat everything from ingrown toenails and bunions, to sprains and fractures, to diabetic foot conditions.

In addition to expert treatment using the latest techniques and technologies available, we are dedicated to palliative and preventive foot care to ensure that our patients’ feet remain healthy and strong throughout their lives.

Conditions we treat include:

• Bone spurs
• Hammer toe
• Gout
• Bunions
• Fractures
• Sprains

If you suffer from foot and ankle pain, we will work with you to diagnose the problem and devise a treatment plan that may first include nonsurgical options such as rest, physical therapy, injections or over-the-counter medications to relieve pain and inflammation. But if your symptoms persist or get worse, surgical intervention may be the best option.

At CORE, we specialize in minimally invasive surgical techniques that decrease pain and recovery time. Most of our procedures are laparoscopic, resulting in smaller incisions, minimal blood loss and less scarring. Types of surgical procedures for the feet and ankles include:

• Diagnostic exploration
• Hammer toe correction
• Bunionectomy
• Arthroeresis (for flat feet)
• Achilles tendon lengthening or repair
• Ankle fusion
