Aging Feet
Arthritic Foot Pain – Joint Pain
Arthritis is the acute or chronic inflammation of a joint. Osteoarthritis can affect the foot, particularly the big toe, and can result from ‘wear and tear’ or can follow trauma to the foot in the form of a fracture or bad sprain.
Stiff and swollen joints can also be caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis, and often results in bunions or other foot conditions.
We treat the bunions, corns, thick nails, calluses or ulcers that may result and can prescribe custom orthopedic footwear that will help alleviate the pressure to affected regions of the foot.
