  • Chronic joint pain or arthritis affecting mobility.
  • Severe injuries, such as fractures or torn ligaments, that have not healed properly.
  • Recurrent problems, like ingrown toenails or cysts, that keep coming back.

What are Some Possible Surgical Treatments?

  • Bunionectomy for bunion correction.
  • Hammertoe correction surgery.
  • Reconstructive surgery for flat feet or high arches.
  • Arthroscopy for joint problems and arthritis.
  • Repair of torn tendons or ligaments.
