Foot & Ankle Conditions We Treat

Expert, modern care for the most common foot and ankle conditions, with a plan built around the cause, not just the symptom.

Bunions

A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe as the joint shifts out of alignment. Left untreated, bunions can grow more painful and make footwear uncomfortable. At Alto, many bunions can be corrected with minimally invasive surgery, which uses smaller incisions and offers a faster recovery than traditional surgery.

Hammertoes

A hammertoe is a toe that bends abnormally at the middle joint, often alongside a bunion. When conservative measures are not enough, minimally invasive hammertoe repair can restore alignment with less downtime.

Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis

Heel pain is one of the most common reasons patients see a podiatrist, and plantar fasciitis is a frequent cause. Rather than a quick injection and a follow-up, we look at the cause and build a plan. Regenerative options such as shockwave therapy and biologic injections can support healing.

Tendinitis

Tendinitis is irritation or inflammation of a tendon, often from overuse or sport. We treat the source and support recovery with regenerative therapies designed to get you back to activity.

Neuromas

A neuroma is a thickening of tissue around a nerve, usually between the toes, that can cause burning, tingling, or the feeling of a pebble underfoot. We offer modern, conservative options before considering surgery.

Arthritis Pain

Arthritis can affect the big toe, midfoot, ankle, and other joints of the foot and ankle, making everyday movement stiff and painful. We assess the whole picture and build a plan to reduce pain, protect the joint, and keep you moving.

Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy can cause numbness, tingling, or burning in the feet. Alto offers in-office neuropathy treatment, including laser and QTENS protocols.

General Foot Pain / Flat Feet

General foot pain and flat feet can stem from structural imbalance, fallen arches, overuse, or footwear. Flat feet in particular can strain ligaments and tendons, leading to aching and fatigue. We pinpoint the cause and build a personalized plan that may include custom orthotics, regenerative therapy, or minimally invasive options.

Forefoot Pain / Ball of Foot Pain

Ball of foot pain, sometimes called metatarsalgia, is aching or burning pain in the front of the foot behind the toes. It can result from overuse, high-impact activity, footwear, or structural issues. We identify the underlying cause and build a plan that may include custom orthotics to redistribute pressure, regenerative therapy, or other targeted options.

Fungal Toenails

Fungal toenails cause discoloration, thickening, and brittleness that rarely resolve on their own. We offer modern in-office laser treatment to clear the infection and restore healthy nail appearance, with a plan tailored to the severity of your nails.

Warts & Corns

Warts and corns are common skin conditions on the feet that can cause discomfort with every step. Plantar warts are caused by a viral infection in the skin, while corns form from pressure and friction, often over a toe joint. We offer in-office treatment to remove warts and relieve corns, plus guidance on footwear to help prevent them from coming back.

Ingrown Toenails

An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness, and sometimes infection. We offer quick, in-office treatment to relieve the pain and address the ingrowth, with minor procedures available when the problem keeps coming back.

Sports Injuries

Foot and ankle sports injuries range from sprains and strains to stress fractures, tendon overuse, and impact injuries. Whether you are a runner, athlete, or weekend warrior, we assess the injury and build a recovery plan to get you back to activity, with regenerative therapies and minimally invasive options when needed.
