Arthritis is a frequent component of complex diseases.

Arthritis is a frequent component of complex diseases that may involve more than 100 identifiable disorders. If the feet seem more susceptible to arthritis than other parts of the body, it is because each foot has 33 joints that can be afflicted, and there is no way to avoid the pain of the tremendous weight.

Arthritis is a disabling and occasionally crippling disease; it afflicts almost 40 million Americans. In some forms, it appears to have hereditary tendencies. While the prevalence of arthritis increases with age, all people from infancy to middle age are potential victims. People over 50 are the primary targets.

Arthritic feet can result in loss of mobility and independence, but that may be avoided with early diagnosis and proper medical care. 

Our podiatrists can correct ankle arthritis by using ankle fusion or Total Ankle Replacement (TAR). Our podiatrists can also treat arthritic pain with different types of injections such as cortisone, homeopathic injections, and amniotic injectable.
