Conditions Treated

Foot and ankle conditions we evaluate and treat.

Tendon

Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles tendonitis is inflammation and degeneration of the Achilles tendon — the strong band that runs from the calf to the heel. We evaluate and treat patients with acute and chronic Achilles pain across Hernando, Southaven, and patients across DeSoto County and the greater Memphis area.

Achilles Tendon Rupture

An Achilles tendon rupture is a complete tear of the tendon, often felt as a sudden "pop" in the back of the ankle during sports or sudden push-off. Rapid diagnosis matters — repair is best performed within the first 2–3 weeks.

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)

Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is the most common cause of adult-acquired flatfoot. The tendon that supports the arch becomes inflamed, stretched, or torn, leading to gradual arch collapse and pain on the inside of the ankle.

Posterior Tibial Tendon Rupture

A complete or high-grade tear of the posterior tibial tendon causes rapid loss of arch support and progressive flatfoot. Surgical reconstruction is usually required to restore function.

Peroneal Tendonitis & Tears

The peroneal tendons run behind the outside ankle bone and stabilize the foot against rolling inward. Tendonitis, splits, and subluxation are common in patients with high arches, chronic ankle sprains, or repetitive activity.

Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy & Haglund's Deformity

Pain where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel — often with a bony prominence ("pump bump") — is called insertional Achilles tendinopathy. It can include calcification of the tendon and irritation of the retrocalcaneal bursa.

Forefoot

Bunion (Hallux Valgus)

A bunion is a progressive deformity of the great toe joint where the big toe drifts toward the second toe and a bump forms on the inside of the foot. It is one of the most common forefoot conditions we treat.

Bunionette (Tailor's Bunion)

A bunionette is a bony prominence on the outside of the foot at the base of the small toe — essentially a bunion on the opposite side of the foot.

Hammertoe, Claw Toe & Mallet Toe

Hammertoes are contractures of the small toes that cause them to bend abnormally at one or more joints. Over time they become rigid and painful, especially in shoes.

Morton's Neuroma

Morton's neuroma is an irritation or thickening of a nerve between the toes, most often between the third and fourth toes. It causes sharp, burning pain in the ball of the foot.

Hallux Rigidus (Big Toe Arthritis)

Hallux rigidus is arthritis of the great toe joint. The joint becomes stiff and painful, and bone spurs form on top of the joint, limiting upward motion of the big toe.

Sesamoiditis & Sesamoid Fracture

The sesamoids are two small bones under the great toe joint that bear significant weight. Injury, overuse, or fracture causes pain beneath the ball of the foot.

Metatarsalgia (Ball-of-Foot Pain)

Metatarsalgia is a general term for pain under the ball of the foot. It often results from forefoot overload due to bunions, hammertoes, high arches, or thinning of the fat pad.

Midfoot & Hindfoot

Adult Acquired Flatfoot

Adult acquired flatfoot is the gradual collapse of the arch in adulthood — usually from posterior tibial tendon failure. Early intervention prevents progression to rigid deformity.

Cavus (High-Arched) Foot

A cavus foot has an abnormally high arch that causes excessive pressure on the heel and ball of the foot. It often comes with recurrent ankle sprains and peroneal tendon problems.

Tarsal Coalition

A tarsal coalition is an abnormal connection between two bones in the back of the foot, typically presenting in older children and young adults as stiffness and recurrent ankle sprains.

Charcot Foot

Charcot foot is a destructive condition of the bones and joints in patients with neuropathy — most commonly from diabetes. Early diagnosis is critical to prevent severe deformity and amputation.

Ankle

Chronic Ankle Instability

Chronic ankle instability develops after repeated ankle sprains stretch or tear the lateral ankle ligaments. The ankle feels like it gives way during normal activity.

Acute Ankle Sprain

An ankle sprain stretches or tears the ligaments around the ankle. Proper early treatment and rehabilitation prevent chronic instability.

Ankle Fracture

Ankle fractures range from simple, stable injuries treated in a boot to displaced, unstable fractures requiring surgical fixation.

Osteochondral Lesion of the Talus

An osteochondral lesion is a cartilage and bone injury within the ankle joint, often following an ankle sprain. Persistent ankle pain after a sprain may signal an OLT.

Ankle Arthritis

Ankle arthritis causes stiffness, pain, and reduced motion. Most ankle arthritis is post-traumatic — following an old fracture or repeated sprains.

Anterior Ankle Impingement

Anterior ankle impingement is pain at the front of the ankle caused by bone spurs or thickened soft tissue. Common in athletes and patients with prior ankle injuries.

Heel & Nerve

Heel Pain

Heel pain has many causes — plantar fasciitis is the most common, but heel pain can also come from nerve entrapment, fat pad atrophy, or stress injury. Accurate diagnosis matters.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation and degeneration of the plantar fascia where it attaches to the heel. It causes sharp heel pain with the first steps in the morning.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is compression of the tibial nerve as it passes behind the inner ankle. It causes burning, tingling, and numbness on the bottom of the foot.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy causes burning, tingling, numbness, and loss of protective sensation in the feet — increasing the risk of ulcers and Charcot foot.

Trauma & Other

Lisfranc Injury

A Lisfranc injury is a sprain, fracture, or dislocation of the midfoot joints. These injuries are often missed and can lead to chronic pain and arthritis if untreated.

Jones Fracture (5th Metatarsal)

A Jones fracture is a fracture at the base of the fifth metatarsal in a watershed blood supply zone, making it slow to heal. Many active patients benefit from early surgical fixation.

Stress Fracture

Stress fractures are tiny cracks in bone from repetitive load — common in runners, military trainees, and patients with low bone density.

Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Diabetic foot ulcers are open wounds that develop from neuropathy and pressure points. Aggressive offloading, wound care, and infection control prevent amputation.

Ingrown Toenail

Ingrown toenails occur when the nail edge cuts into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and infection. We offer same-week treatment in office.
