Foot Arthritis Treatment in New York, NY

Quality Treatment for Foot Arthritis

If you're suffering from joint pain that makes it difficult to walk around, you may have foot arthritis. Common types of arthritis that occur in the feet are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. If you haven’t found relief for your foot pain with nonsurgical methods, our experts for foot arthritis treatment in New York, NY, can determine if you have arthritis and provide surgical pain relief options.

Common Types of Arthritis

The most common types of arthritis that affect the joints include:

Rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes your body to mistakenly attack your joints in the same way it would fight off an infection. This causes inflammation in your joints, which can inhibit your mobility. If this condition is untreated, the inflammation will cause the cartilage in your joints to break down, leading to more significant pain and further hindering your mobility. As rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, it can affect more than just your joints. It is crucial that you seek treatment right away if you believe you suffer from this condition.

Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis causes the cartilage in your joints to break down, causing pain and inhibiting joint movement. It goes by a few different names, including degenerative joint disease and degenerative arthritis.

Foot Arthritis Treatments

For foot arthritis, conservative treatment methods include pain relievers, physical therapy, custom orthotics, and special supportive shoes. Surgery can relieve pain associated with chronic cases of arthritis. These may include:

  • Joint fusion. During this procedure, the arthritic surfaces of the bone are removed, and the remaining bone is fused together with plates and screws. This procedure is extremely effective at providing pain relief by eliminating movement of the affected joint.
  • Debridement. This is a minimally invasive procedure for milder cases of arthritis. Our surgeon makes a small incision to access the joint and uses a tiny camera to go into the foot and remove bone debris or pieces of cartilage that are causing friction.

Recovery & Aftercare for Foot Arthritis

Recovery time depends on which surgery our experts recommend for your unique case. Following surgery, we advise that patients stay off their feet and avoid physical activity for a certain period of time to ensure optimal pain relief and proper healing. Our doctor will provide more detail and specific aftercare instructions following your surgery.
