When you live with arthritis, your days can be frustrating and unpredictable. There are times you may wake to stiff and achy joints; later in the day, the pain and swelling may increase until every step is painful. Arthritis that affects your feet and/or ankles does more than just slow you down—it can impact your entire life and interfere with how you work, exercise, and enjoy doing what you love.

Sore Today, Gone Tomorrow? Treating Foot Arthritis Before It Slows You Down
The bones in your feet make up approximately 25% of the total bones in your body, and they carry six times your body weight. Because your feet are crucial to your mobility, balance, and stability, foot health is important to your overall health.
At Neville Foot & Ankle Centers, diagnosing arthritis starts with understanding your symptoms and how they’re impacting your life. During your visit, our podiatrists perform a detailed physical examination of your feet and ankles, assessing joint motion, alignment, swelling, and areas of tenderness. We also review your medical history, activity level, and prior injuries to identify contributing factors.
How We Get the Jump on Your Diagnosis
When making a diagnosis, we use advanced imaging, such as in-office X-rays, to help us evaluate joint spacing, bone changes, and the severity of arthritis. Once we have a clear picture, we develop a personalized treatment plan focused on relieving pain, improving function, and preserving joint health.
Treatment may include custom orthotics to reduce joint stress, supportive bracing, targeted physical therapy, anti-inflammatory strategies, laser therapy, or regenerative options. If/when conservative care is no longer effective, our experienced podiatric surgeons may discuss surgical solutions designed to restore stability and comfort. Every recommendation is made with your long-term mobility and quality of life in mind.
Your Feet Work Hard: We Work Harder
Arthritis affects everyone differently and needs an individualized management plan. From custom orthotics to advanced treatments, we tailor your care plan to your lifestyle, activity level, and goals. We never offer a one-size-fits-all solution.
