Specializes in Podiatry

We have no cure for: Arthritis, but we have many, many treatments and modalities to help you live comfortably which include both oral and topical medication, joint injections, orthotics and even acupuncture. Start by seeing a podiatrist. In some cases, exceptionally painful joints can be addressed surgically.

Take care of them: Talk with your doctor to see what medication options are available to you. Sometimes foot injections provide temporal relief, and the right shoes and arch supports/foot orthoses can be of help. Sometimes foot surgery is necessary. Seeing a podiatrist might afford you some options to make living with severe arthritis in the foot more bearable.
