Foot and Ankle Conditions Treated by Our Podiatrist

Our podiatrist in McKinney and Prosper, TX, addresses various foot and ankle conditions to improve mobility and overall comfort. One common issue is plantar fasciitis, causing heel pain due to inflammation of the tissue connecting your heel bone to the toes. Treatments often involve stretching exercises, orthotic inserts, and sometimes anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate discomfort.

Bunions - the bony bumps at the base of your big toe can also cause discomfort. Podiatrists might suggest wearing wider shoes, using padded inserts, or, during severe cases, surgical correction to realign the toe joint.

Flat feet - where the arches collapse, can lead to pain and difficulty walking. Custom orthotics and exercises may help distribute weight evenly, reducing strain.

Ankle sprains - from twisting or rolling the ankle often require rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), with physical therapy to regain strength and stability.

Achilles tendonitis - characterized by pain and swelling at the back of the heel, might benefit from rest, physical therapy, and, in severe cases, immobilization with a boot or splint.

Persistent heel pain, especially when taking those first steps in the morning, could signal plantar fasciitis. If you've noticed a bony bump at the base of your big toe or experience discomfort wearing shoes due to bunions, consider treatment to prevent the problems from worsening.

Recurring ankle sprains causing instability or ongoing discomfort in the Achilles tendon during activities merit an evaluation from our McKinney and Prosper, TX, podiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Our compassionate team aims to provide personalized care tailored to your needs, ensuring a swift return to pain-free movement.

Dr. Eric Silvers, Dr. Christopher Witt, and Dr. Melissa Sgro excel in diagnosing and treating these conditions to improve comfort and mobility. To book an appointment with our podiatrist in McKinney and Prosper, TX, call us at (972) 542-2155.
