Our Most Commonly Treated Conditions
Plantar Fasciitis
The most common cause of heel pain, plantar fasciitis is a condition in which the ligament that extends from your heel to your toes becomes irritated. Plantar fasciitis can make walking and running extremely uncomfortable, even downright unbearable if left to progress.
We can explore treatments like orthotic inserts and stretching exercises to relieve pain and restore mobility. More advanced options include nonsurgical shockwave therapy. Surgery is always a last resort for treating plantar fasciitis.
Bunions
Is there a hard bump jutting out near the base of your big toe? You may have a bunion, a bony deformity that causes toe misalignment. This can affect your ability to walk if not addressed.
Treatment options for bunions are straightforward. Our doctors often recommend patients start with hand-made orthotics. If these do not provide relief, we can perform minimally invasive triplanar correction surgery to re-align the big toe.
Tendonitis
Pain, stiffness, or swelling in the feet or ankles can be a sign of tendonitis, or the inflammation of a tendon. Tendons are bands of tissue that connect muscles to bone, so if inflamed, it can cause pain in the affected area every time you move.
Our Escondido doctors can diagnose the type of tendonitis you have and get to work on the most appropriate course of treatment. We may recommend a multi-pronged approach that involves physical therapy, orthotics, and prescription medicine.
Ankle Sprains
We offer a number of treatment options for ankle pain, ankle sprains, ankle fractures, and other injuries to the ankle. This joint plays a large role in fluid movement, so any injury can be incredibly debilitating.
Dr. Morris or Dr. Redkar will assess the conditions of the bones, tendons, and ligaments of your ankle to diagnose the precise nature of your condition. Depending on the severity, they may recommend physical therapy, cortisone injections, or casting for a fracture. Surgery can also help, but it will be the last treatment option we consider.
Ingrown Toenails
If you have an ingrown toenail, you're likely looking to get relief fast. Our doctors are ready to help.
If at-home soaks in room-temperature water aren't relieving the inflammation, we can perform a quick and simple procedure here at our Escondido, CA, podiatry office. Dr. Redkar or Dr. Morris will carefully remove a portion of the nail border down to the root, which prevents ingrowth from occurring again. You'll be able to get back to your regular routine in just a few days.
