Joint and tendon pain in the feet and ankles often develops from arthritis, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, which can cause stiffness, swelling, and reduced flexibility. Gout, another common condition, results from uric acid buildup in the joints—often in the big toe—and can lead to sudden and severe pain. Tendon problems, including Achilles tendonitis and tendon degeneration, may result from repetitive stress, sports activity, or trauma. In some cases, systemic conditions like diabetes or autoimmune disease can increase inflammation and slow healing, making these issues even more difficult to manage. Identifying the exact cause of pain is the first step toward lasting relief.
Gout is a painful form of inflammatory arthritis caused by uric acid buildup in the joints—commonly in the feet. We offer comprehensive gout treatment, including medication, dietary recommendations, and flare-up prevention. We also help patients recognize gout symptoms early and learn how to treat gout effectively.
We treat a broad spectrum of tendon-related conditions. From localized inflammation to tendon degeneration, we work to relieve symptoms and restore movement. However, Achilles tendonitis is one of the most common tendon issues we treat, especially in active individuals. Pain in the Achilles tendon when standing or Achilles tendon pain when walking can indicate inflammation or microtears. Our clinic provides targeted Achilles tendonitis treatment, including conservative therapies, physical therapy, and advanced options like regenerative medicine.
Our nurse practitioner specializes in total body therapy. We work with patients experiencing joint pain in the knees, hips, and shoulders, whether from repetitive stress, trauma, or degenerative disease. These joints are crucial to walking, lifting, and posture, making accurate diagnosis and timely treatment for joint pain and stiffness essential.
