Conditions We Treat at Our Southwest Florida Podiatry Office

You wake up early, ready to enjoy a beautiful morning walk along the Fort Myers Beach shoreline. But instead of feeling the warm sand between your toes, all you can focus on is the sharp pain shooting through your foot with each step. Or perhaps you've been looking forward to your weekly tennis match at the community courts, only to be sidelined by persistent heel pain that won't seem to go away.

At Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Care, our team understands that foot pain isn't just a physical discomfort—it's a barrier that keeps you from fully enjoying the active Southwest Florida lifestyle you love. Whether you're a retiree who cherishes your daily walks, a weekend warrior who enjoys local sports, or someone who simply wants to move through daily life without pain, we are ready to help you find relief and restore your mobility.

Common Foot Conditions We Treat

Our diagnostic approach starts with a conversation. Our podiatrists take the time to fully understand what you’re feeling, what activities matter most to you, and how our team can help you reach your goals. We want you to be confident that your concerns are not only heard but also able to be resolved through a health-oriented partnership. Here are just a few foot and ankle conditions we address with thorough attention and dedicated care.

Sports Injuries

Treatment at our Fort Myers practice includes care for sprains, strains, tendonitis, and other activity-related problems, helping athletes of all levels—from casual golfers to competitive runners—recover and return to their favorite activities as quickly as possible. If you are interested in avoiding cortisone treatments or time off from your sport, ask us about shockwave therapy or PRP injections.

Neuropathy

Tingling, numbness, and pain in the feet impact daily life in numerous ways. We offer advanced treatments for neuropathy, focusing on relieving uncomfortable symptoms and providing support and stability. Our custom orthotics can help improve your balance, while shockwave treatment has been shown to help improve symptoms in more than 3/4 of patients with neuropathy.

Ball of Foot Pain

Also known as metatarsalgia, this condition can make it feel like you're constantly walking on a pebble. At Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Care, we help identify the underlying cause—whether it's from high-impact activities, foot structure, or improper footwear—and recommend targeted solutions to provide relief. For example, we offer filler injections, which patients refer to as walking on a cloud, that allow you to wear that favorite dress shoe or walk barefoot without pain.

Hammer Toes

When toes curl downward instead of pointing forward, even walking becomes painful. Treatment options include both non-surgical approaches and surgical corrections when needed to straighten the affected toes and reduce discomfort.

Bunions

These painful bumps at the base of the big toe affect not only how your shoes fit but also how you move and lead to other foot problems. We offer a range of solutions, from custom orthotics that relieve pressure to corrective surgical procedures such as Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction.

Heel Pain

Are you experiencing stabbing pain in your heel when you first step out of bed in the morning? It might be plantar fasciitis, one of the most common causes of heel pain. Our office offers both conservative and advanced treatments to address heel pain at its source, not just mask the symptoms.

From stress cracks caused by repetitive impact to traumatic breaks, our team provides you with an accurate diagnosis using state-of-the-art imaging and treatment plans designed to promote proper healing and prevent long-term complications.

Arthritis

Foot and ankle joints are particularly susceptible to arthritic changes that can cause pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. Your treatment options might include conservative management techniques as well as advanced therapies that help maintain joint function and reduce discomfort. We also offer surgical solutions if your arthritis is not relieved by more conservative care.

Ingrown Toenails

When the edge of a nail grows into the surrounding skin, it’s important to alleviate the irritation and provide preventative care to reduce recurrence. You can count on our team to use gentle techniques that prioritize your comfort and take a proactive approach to encourage new nail growth. If your ingrown toenails keep returning, we offer solutions to eliminate them permanently.

Toenail Fungus

This common but stubborn condition causes nail discoloration, thickening, and brittleness. While curing it takes time and patience—toenails only grow at a rate of about 1.5 mm a month!—we can help you be rid of it once and for all.

Advanced Treatments for Foot Conditions

At Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Care, we provide effective solutions using the latest technologies to give you the freedom and confidence to return to all the things you love to do without limitations. Some of our treatment protocols include:

Custom orthotics designed specifically for your feet, activities, and mobility needs.

Shockwave therapy that stimulates healing in damaged tissues.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy that uses your body’s own growth factors to accelerate healing in soft tissue injuries.

...and more!

Why Southwest Florida Patients Trust Us With Their Foot and Ankle Health

We understand that Southwest Florida's on-the-go lifestyle doesn't pause for foot pain, especially for the many year-round residents and snowbirds who come to the area to stay active. So, turn to Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Care for:

Compassionate, unhurried attention. We take the time to listen to your concerns and thoroughly explain your condition and treatment options. You'll never feel rushed through an appointment or pressured into a treatment that doesn't feel right for you.
Personalized treatment plans. We recognize that no two patients are alike, even when they share a similar diagnosis. A therapeutic approach that works well for a competitive tennis player might differ from what's best for someone who primarily enjoys gardening or fishing. Your treatment plan is tailored to your specific condition, lifestyle needs, and personal goals.
Focus on conservative care. Whenever possible, your treatment protocol includes non-surgical methods to address your foot condition. Many patients find considerable relief through proper footwear, custom orthotics, physical therapy, and other non-invasive treatments that don't require lengthy recovery periods.
