Relief for the Problems Keeping You Off Your Feet
Foot and ankle problems can involve the joints, nerves, tendons, nails and more. Whether you already have a diagnosis or are still trying to understand what’s causing your symptoms, care starts with a thorough evaluation and a clear plan forward.
✓Bunions
Painful bony bumps at the base of the big toe that cause pressure and shoe discomfort.
✓Hammertoes
Toes that bend or curl at the middle joint, causing rubbing, corns, or pressure.
✓Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis
Heel pain often worst with the first steps of the day or after long periods on your feet.
✓Neuropathy
Numbness, tingling, or burning that can affect comfort, balance, and activity.
✓Fungal Nails
Toenails that become thickened, brittle, discolored, or distorted.
✓Neuromas
Irritated nerve tissue in the forefoot causing burning or sharp pain between the toes.
✓Arthritis & Forefoot Pain

Care Tailored to Your Condition
Your treatment plan starts with what we find during your evaluation. When appropriate, Dr. Forman begins with conservative options such as footwear or activity changes, orthotics, and in-office treatments. Surgery is considered only when it becomes the appropriate next step.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Smaller incisions, faster recovery, and less downtime than traditional surgery, when surgery is the right choice.
Advanced In-Office Therapies
Non-surgical therapies that may be part of a broader plan for persistent heel, nerve, or tendon pain.
Fungal Nail Laser
A non-oral, in-office treatment option for fungal toenails.
In-Office Procedures
Many common foot and nail problems treated right in the office.
