Skin and Nail Conditions
Problems like ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, athlete’s foot, plantar warts, corns and calluses can be painful and stubborn without professional care. We treat all skin conditions below the knee, and offer advanced options like laser nail treatment for fungal nails.
Structural Deformities
Bunions, hammertoes and flat feet often worsen over time. Early care with padding, footwear changes and custom orthotics can slow their progression, and surgical correction is available when conservative care isn’t enough.
Heel, Tendon and Ankle Pain
Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs, Achilles tendonitis, ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability are common in both athletes and everyday walkers. Treatment may include stretching, bracing, orthotics and non-invasive shockwave therapy.
Nerve, Diabetic and Age-Related Foot Care
Conditions like peripheral neuropathy and neuromas require careful evaluation. We also provide comprehensive diabetic foot care, ulcer and wound care, and specialized geriatric foot care to help patients stay active and independent.
Children’s Foot Health
Kids are active and resilient, so foot problems can be easy to overlook. We evaluate and treat pediatric foot conditions early to help children grow with healthy, well-functioning feet.
Foot and Ankle Conditions FAQs
What are the most common foot conditions you treat?
Some of the most common conditions we treat include heel pain and plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, warts, corns, calluses, ankle sprains and diabetic foot problems.
How do I know if my foot pain needs a podiatrist?
See a podiatrist if your pain lasts more than a few days, affects how you walk, is accompanied by swelling, numbness or skin changes, or follows an injury. People with diabetes should see a podiatrist for any new foot problem.
Do most foot conditions require surgery?
No. Most foot and ankle conditions improve with conservative care such as orthotics, footwear changes, padding, bracing, medications or in-office therapies. Surgery is recommended only when these options don’t provide adequate relief.
Can foot conditions get worse if left untreated?
Yes. Conditions like bunions, hammertoes and flat feet can progress over time, and infections, ulcers and neuropathy can lead to serious complications. Early diagnosis usually means simpler, more effective treatment.
Do you treat children’s foot problems?
Yes. We evaluate and treat pediatric foot conditions, including flat feet, heel pain, gait problems and sports-related injuries.
How are foot conditions diagnosed?
Dr. Motran reviews your history, examines your feet and ankles and evaluates your gait. When needed, digital x-rays are taken right in our office to identify fractures, arthritis and structural problems.
Will my insurance cover treatment for my condition?
We participate with most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. Coverage for specific treatments varies, so please confirm your benefits with your insurance carrier.
