Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is pain in the heel of the foot due to inflammation of a thick, fibrous band of tissue known as the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is located at the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to the toes.

Hallux Valgus

A bunion (hallux valgus) occurs when the big toe points inward, forming a bony bump on the outside of the toe. Bunions can get worse with time and often are painful.

Tinea Pedis

Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) is when the foot becomes infected by a fungus. Moist areas of the foot, such as in between the toes, are more likely to become infected. Symptoms include itching, peeling, and red areas of skin on the foot.

Procedures

Arthrocentesis

Joint fluid sampling is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in which fluid is removed from a joint through a needle. The joint fluid is examined in the laboratory to determine the cause of fluid accumulation. Occasionally medications are injected into the joint after fluid is sampled to treat or reduce symptoms.

Hallux Valgus Repair

Hallux valgus is a therapeutic procedure to surgically correct a deformity on the side of the big toe where the bunion occurs. The bump can be removed, and changes can be made to the bony structure of the foot and soft tissue.
