Services Offered

At Foot First Podiatry, we offer a wide range of services to diagnose and treat a variety of foot and ankle conditions. Here are some of the services we provide:

• Bunions: Bunions are misaligned big toe joints that can become swollen and tender, causing the first joint of the big toe to slant outward, and the second joint to angle toward the other toes. Our podiatrist can evaluate the severity of the bunion and recommend the appropriate treatment, which may include customized shoe inserts, physical therapy, or surgery.
• Heel Pain: Heel pain is often caused by an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. Our practice can evaluate the cause of the heel pain and may prescribe customized shoe inserts called orthoses to help alleviate the pain.
• Ingrown Toenails: Ingrown toenails, also known as onychocryptosis, are usually caused by trimming toenails too short, particularly on the sides of the big toes. Our podiatrist can safely and painlessly remove the ingrown portion of the nail and provide guidance on proper nail care to prevent future occurrences.
• Hammertoes: Hammertoe is a deformity of the second, third, or fourth toes where the toe is bent at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. If left untreated, hammertoes can become inflexible and require surgery. Our podiatrist can evaluate the severity of the hammertoe and recommend the appropriate treatment, which may include customized shoe inserts, physical therapy, or surgery.
• Sports Injuries: Sports injuries to the foot and ankle are common and can range from mild sprains to severe fractures. Our podiatrist is experienced in diagnosing and treating sports injuries and can recommend the appropriate treatment to help athletes get back on their feet as soon as possible.
• Orthotics: Orthotics are customized shoe inserts designed to correct foot and ankle abnormalities and provide support and cushioning. Our podiatrist can evaluate the need for orthotics and create customized shoe inserts to help alleviate pain and improve function.
• Diabetic Foot Care: Diabetes can cause a variety of foot and ankle problems, including nerve damage, poor circulation, and increased risk of infection. Our podiatrist is experienced in providing diabetic foot care and can recommend appropriate preventative measures to help prevent complications.
• Educational Videos: Our practice offers a variety of educational videos on foot and ankle conditions and treatments to help our patients better understand their condition and treatment options.
