Put Your Best Foot Forward: Common Foot and Ankle Problems

A painful step can be related to a number of reasons, but they add up to decrease your mobility and get in the way of an active lifestyle. Whether it’s caused by bone, muscle, or joint (plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis), nail or skin (warts, ingrown toenail), congenital or age-related conditions, or chronic disease (arthritis, diabetes), you can find relief through proper footwear, foot care, and surgical and non-surgical treatments.

Join Kirk Woelffer, DPM, of the Raleigh Foot & Ankle Center as he discusses common foot and ankle problems and effective preventive measures and surgical treatment options.
