Podiatry Conditions and Treatments
Mount Sinai podiatrists diagnose and treat a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, from common concerns such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, and tendonitis to complex injuries, deformities, and diabetic foot disorders. Our specialists develop personalized treatment plans to relieve pain, restore function, and improve mobility.
Common Foot and Ankle Conditions We Treat?
Podiatrists offer a broad depth of nonsurgical and surgical services for foot and ankle conditions, including:
- Hammer toes and bunions
- Dislocations
- Neuromas
- Arthritic joints and tendinitis
- Flat feet
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain, and soft tissue irregularities
- Pediatric conditions affect children and include issues such as flat feet, or clubfoot, and other foot and ankle issues that affect walking.
- Foot and ankle conditions can affect the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and soft tissues of the lower extremity. Common foot and ankle conditions include bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, tendonitis, neuromas, arthritis, fractures, and diabetic foot complications. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent pain and loss of function.
Foot and Ankle Treatment Options
Treatment includes a variety of approaches:
- Advanced treatments use radiofrequency energy or ultrasound to treat conditions such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.
- Diabetic foot care addresses issues that diabetes patients face, such as wounds, and Charcot. We use reconstruction, healing infections, and preventive care.
- Custom foot orthotics and other medical devices help us manage heel pain, tendonitis, neuromas, flat feet, metatarsalgia (pain in the ball of the foot), diabetic foot-related conditions, and arthritic joints.
Multidisciplinary Approach
Mount Sinai podiatrists work closely with their colleagues in orthopedic surgery, vascular surgery, dermatology, rheumatology, wound care, and physical therapy.
