Bunions and hammertoes can cause severe discomfort, difficulty walking, and joint pain due to toe misalignment. These conditions, if left untreated, may worsen over time.

How MD Health Group Can Help:

• Non-Surgical Solutions: MD Health Group offers non-invasive treatments, including orthotics, padding, and physical therapy, to reduce pain and improve toe alignment.
• Surgical Intervention: If non-surgical options are insufficient, MD Health Group’s podiatrists are skilled in performing corrective surgery to realign toes, relieve pain, and restore foot function.

Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs are common causes of heel pain, especially for individuals who spend long hours on their feet.

How MD Health Group Can Help:

• Customized Treatment Plans: MD Health Group develops tailored treatment plans that may include stretching exercises, physical therapy, and custom orthotics to relieve strain on the plantar fascia.
• Advanced Therapies: For persistent cases, MD Health Group offers options like corticosteroid injections, shockwave therapy, or minimally invasive surgery to reduce inflammation and eliminate pain.

Fractures and sprains are common injuries, particularly for athletes and active individuals. If not treated promptly, they can lead to long-term mobility problems.

• Comprehensive Care: The team provides personalized treatment plans, including immobilization, bracing, and rehabilitation, ensuring a full recovery. In cases requiring surgery, MD Health Group’s experienced podiatrists offer surgical interventions to repair severe fractures or ligament tears.

Flat feet occur when the arches collapse, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. Arch pain can also arise from overuse or stress on the foot.

• Surgical Correction: In severe cases of flat feet that don’t respond to conservative treatments, MD Health Group’s podiatric surgeons can perform corrective procedures to restore the arch and alleviate pain.

Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection causing itching, burning, and scaling, typically between the toes. Other common conditions include fungal toenails and ingrown nails.
