Foot/Ankle

Autoimmune maladies can present a daunting task in terms of their identification and treatment. Such disorders arise when the immune system erroneously assaults healthy cells within the body, which results in inflammation and the detriment of tissue and organs. At the Buffalo Arthritis & Joint Pain Center, we are well-versed in the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus, and psoriatic arthritis.

RA is a persistent autoimmune disease that predominantly targets the joints. Its symptoms include agony, rigidity, and swelling within the joints, particularly those in the hands, wrists, and feet. RA can also prompt weariness, fever, and a loss of weight.

Lupus is yet another autoimmune malady that can afflict diverse bodily systems, including the skin, joints, and organs. Its symptoms may encompass a rash on the face, joint pain, weariness, and fever.

Psoriatic arthritis is a class of arthritis that can develop in certain individuals who have psoriasis, a skin disorder that causes red, scaly patches. Psoriatic arthritis symptoms may include joint pain, rigidity, and swelling, as well as nail alterations and weariness.

At the Buffalo Arthritis & Joint Pain Center, we take a comprehensive approach to treating autoimmune disorders.  We work in tandem with each patient to formulate an individualized treatment plan that caters to their specific requirements and objectives. Autoimmune issues can be difficult to manage, but with the right therapy and support, one can control their symptoms and improve their quality of life. At the Buffalo Arthritis & Joint Pain Center, we are committed to helping our patients with autoimmune disorders attain optimal health and well-being.

Ankle and foot pain can be a frustrating and limiting condition that can interfere with daily activities. But with the right treatment, you can find relief. Let's dive into the most common causes of ankle and foot pain:

  1. Plantar fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis is a condition that occurs when the band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot becomes inflamed. This can cause pain and tenderness in the heel and arch of the foot. Treatment for plantar fasciitis may include rest, ice, physical therapy, and in some cases, orthotics.
  2. Achilles tendinitis: Achilles tendinitis is a condition that occurs when the tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel becomes inflamed. This can cause pain and stiffness in the back of the ankle. Treatment for Achilles tendinitis may include rest, ice, physical therapy, and in some cases, medication.
  3. Sprains and strains: Sprains and strains occur when the ligaments or muscles in the ankle or foot are stretched or torn. This can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the ankle or foot. Treatment for sprains and strains may include rest, ice, physical therapy, and in some cases, bracing.
  4. Arthritis: Arthritis is a condition that occurs when the joints in the ankle or foot become inflamed. This can cause pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving the ankle or foot. Treatment for arthritis may include medication, physical therapy, and in some cases, joint replacement surgery.

At Buffalo Arthritis & Joint Pain Center, we will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.  Don't let chronic ankle and foot pain slow you down.
