Our Services

At Teton Foot & Ankle Center P.C., we specialize in a wide array of in-office procedures, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and innovative techniques to alleviate various foot and ankle conditions. Our services include:

• Bunions: Contrary to popular belief, bunions can affect individuals of all ages. Bunions are progressive bone deformities caused by the enlargement of the joint at the base of the big toe. We offer various treatments for bunions, including conservative care and surgical options, tailored to meet your unique needs.

• Sprained Ankles: Ankle sprains are a common injury that occurs when the ligaments surrounding the ankle joint stretch or tear, often caused by a sudden twist or impact. Our skilled team offers effective treatments for sprained ankles, focusing not only on immediate relief but also on long-term stability and prevention of future injuries.

• Flat Feet: Flat feet, or pes planus, is a condition characterized by the absence of a normal foot arch. While some individuals with flat feet experience few to no symptoms, others may suffer from discomfort and pain. Our experienced team assesses your flat feet and recommends appropriate treatments, such as custom orthotics, physical therapy, or surgery, if necessary.

• Tendonitis: Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendons, the bands of tough tissue that connect bones to muscles. It is typically caused by repetitive or overuse injuries, but it can also be caused by sudden trauma. Our team offers a variety of treatments for tendonitis, including physical therapy, rest, and anti-inflammatory medications, as well as minimally invasive procedures.

• Plantar Fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis is a common condition characterized by pain and inflammation in the sole of the foot, particularly in the heel area. It affects the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot. Our experienced staff offers a range of treatments for plantar fasciitis, such as shockwave therapy, orthotics, and customized stretching and strengthening programs.

• Neuromas: Neuromas are benign growths or swelling of nerves that can cause pain, tingling, or numbness in the affected area. Our team diagnoses and treats neuromas using a combination of techniques, such as orthotics, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgical intervention.

At Teton Foot & Ankle Center P.C., we are proud of our state-of-the-art on-site surgical center, equipped with the latest technology, ensuring the highest level of care and safety for our patients.
