Conditions treated by our foot and ankle surgeons in Salem

  • Diabetic Foot: Diabetes, particularly poorly managed diabetes, can result in nerve damage and poor circulation. This may result in foot infections, blisters, discomfort, and ulcers. The damage can be serious in some circumstances. Infections in the feet have the potential to spread, harming other organs and even becoming fatal. Treatment options are determined based on the severity of the condition. There are many surgical and nonsurgical procedures that might be helpful. It is also vital to keep one’s feet healthy, and one should practise good foot hygiene.
  • Hansen’s Disease: It is also known as leprosy and is a chronic infectious disease that typically affects the peripheral nerves, skin, upper respiratory tract, eyes, and nasal mucosa. Light-colored or red skin patches with decreased sensation, numbness, and weakness in the hands and feet are the common symptoms of this disorder. Leprosy can be treated with 6 to 12 months of multi-drug treatments. Doctors usually recommend steroids and antibiotics to stimulate hormone effects and kill the growth of bacteria.
  • Rheumatoid Foot: It is a chronic disease that affects various joints throughout the body. It typically develops in the small joints of the hands and feet and effects the same joints on both sides of the body. It causes inflammation, joint discomfort, and swelling. In some cases, the inflammation can lead to joint damage and deformities. There are numerous non-surgical treatments available to help relieve flare-up symptoms and avoid joint damage.
  • Gouty Arthritis: It is a form of arthritis that develops when the body’s excess uric acid crystallises in the joints. Gout causes pain and inflammation in one or more joints. It usually affects the big toe and can also be found in other joints, such as the elbow, knee, ankle, and foot. The doctor may prescribe drugs to lower uric acid levels in your body in order to prevent or reduce recurrent gout attacks.
  • Subtalar Arthritis: It is a kind of arthritis that affects the subtalar joint, which is located in the hindfoot below the ankle joint. The condition is associated with adverse effects in the area of the hindfoot, which can be made worse by standing and walking. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines are used as treatments, and subtalar fusion is the most common surgical treatment for subtalar arthritis.
  • Enthesiopathies: It is an abnormality of the entheses, the specific point where tendons or ligaments attach to bone. This condition often causes pain, stiffness, or difficulty moving the affected joint or part of the body. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications are all options for treating this disorder.
