Arthritis – Foot
Care Treatments

Is joint pain and stiffness limiting your motion and keeping you from staying active?

Arthritis can cause severe pain in the joints of your feet. It’s a common disability for many American adults. Although arthritis is a degenerative disease, you can manage symptoms and maintain an active lifestyle free of discomfort with advanced foot arthritis treatment at the Foot, Ankle and Leg Vein Center in Boca Raton.

Arthritis can be the result of trauma or high mechanical stress to a joint. Over time, the joint space will become narrowed and cartilage that covers a joint surface will be stripped. Spurs or bone fragments can occur around the joint as well, which can lead to pain and often a hot and swollen joint.
