- General PodiatryA Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) practices the medical, surgical, and biomechanical treatment of the human foot, ankle, and associated structures. Although we specialize in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of problems affecting the foot and ankle, Doctors of Podiatric Medicine are also highly trained health care providers. We see people of all ages and are often the first medical specialists to diagnose systemic problems that affect the feet and ankles such as diabetes, gout, hypertension, immunodeficiencies, and arthritis.

- Heel SpursPlantar fasciitis (commonly referred to as a “heel spur†) is a common cause of heel pain and affects about 2.5 million people each year in the U.S. The ligament that stretches along the bottom of the foot (the plantar fascia) is responsible for maintaining the arch of your foot. When the plantar fascia pulls away from the bone, your heel becomes painful. Your body may react by filling this space with new bone – a heel spur. Most people think that heel spurs are the cause of their foot pain – but the pain is actually caused by the inflammation or irritation of your plantar fascia muscle.

- Ingrown ToenailsTreatment may be as simple as padding for a mild case of corns or the permanent relief of ingrown toenails with one-time, minor surgery. Chronic heel pain, however, if left untreated too long, may require lengthy and involved treatment. Foothills Podiatry offers Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy for the correction of hell spur syndrome and plantar fasciitis. The procedure involves an outpatient surgical visit utilizing specially designed instruments that allow the surgeon to visualize the foot structure on a video screen while only making two small incisions on the foot. Most patients return to their regular shoes in three to five days.
- Plantar FasciitisPlantar fasciitis is caused by a number of factors and is a common sports injury among runners, walkers and athletes. Overweight people and those whose jobs require a lot of standing or walking are also at higher risk. Other factors leading to plantar fasciitis include flat- or high-arched feet, worn out or improper shoes, jogging on sand – and increasing age.
