Foot & Ankle Conditions We Treat in Gastonia
Your feet and ankles are complex structures that are vital for daily life. Whether you work in Downtown Gastonia, commute to nearby Charlotte, or spend time in surrounding communities like Lowell, McAdenville, Kings Mountain, or Belmont, foot and ankle problems shouldn’t slow you down.
At Carolina Foot and Ankle Specialists, we diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions that can impact your comfort and mobility. Our goal is to provide personalized podiatry and effective treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common inflammation of the tissue running across the bottom of your foot. It often leads to sharp heel pain and can be more noticeable first thing in the morning. We offer a variety of treatments for this common condition.
Arthritis
Arthritis in the feet and ankles can cause persistent pain, stiffness, and swelling, making everyday movements difficult. We provide comprehensive care to manage symptoms, slow progression, and improve your mobility and comfort.
Achilles Tendonitis
Bunions, seen as bony bumps at the big toe, can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty wearing shoes as well as trouble with mobility. Our podiatrists offer effective treatments to relieve pressure and correct this common foot deformity.
Ankle Sprains
More than just a twisted ankle, a sprain involves stretched or torn ligaments, leading to pain, swelling, and instability. Proper diagnosis and care are crucial for full recovery, pain relief, and preventing re-injury.
Bunions
Experiencing pain and stiffness along the back of your heel? Achilles tendonitis is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon and is often caused by overuse or sudden strain. Early treatment is the key to preventing further damage.
Fungal Infections
From itchy, flaky skin (Athlete's Foot) to discolored, brittle nails (onychomycosis), fungal infections are common but treatable. We provide effective solutions to restore your skin and nails as well as prevent future occurrences.
Gout
Sudden, severe pain, swelling, and redness, often in the big toe, can be a sign of gout. This form of arthritis is caused by uric acid buildup, and we offer treatments to manage attacks and prevent recurrence.
Ingrown Toenails
When the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, it can cause pain, redness, swelling, and infection. Don't let an ingrown toenail fester. Instead, seek treatment at the first sign of trouble. We provide quick and effective relief!
Fractures
A broken bone in your foot or ankle can result from injury, overuse, or underlying conditions, causing severe pain and limiting your mobility. We accurately diagnose and effectively treat all types of foot and ankle fractures to ensure proper healing and a full recovery.
