Expert Rheumatoid Arthritis Solutions

Specialized Management for Autoimmune Foot and Ankle Pain

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where your body's immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of your joints, frequently affecting multiple joints in the feet and ankles simultaneously. This chronic inflammation causes pain, warmth, swelling, and morning stiffness that can last for hours, progressive joint deformities like bunions and hammertoes, difficulty walking as cartilage and bone erode, and flare-ups that can be unpredictable and debilitating, significantly impacting your ability to work, exercise, and perform everyday tasks.


We work closely with your rheumatologist to provide coordinated foot and ankle care, using clinical evaluation and imaging to monitor joint damage and assess how the disease is affecting your lower extremities. Our treatment strategies complement your systemic medication regimen and include custom orthotics to accommodate deformities and redistribute pressure, specialized footwear with extra depth and cushioning, padding and bracing to protect vulnerable joints, physical therapy to maintain range of motion, and when joint damage becomes severe, reconstructive surgical procedures to restore function and relieve pain.



Our objective is to minimize foot pain during flare-ups, slow the progression of joint destruction in your feet, and help you maintain mobility despite living with a chronic condition. By addressing the specific challenges rheumatoid arthritis creates in your lower extremities, we enable you to stay as active as possible, prevent secondary complications, and improve your overall quality of life even as you manage this systemic disease.
