Foot

The anatomy of the foot is complex with 33 separate joints and countless bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. As such, foot pain is both common and complex and afflicts millions of people every day. Determining the best way to treat foot pain can be challenging for some patients because of the wide range of reasons for pain, from one-time injuries and repetitive stress to degenerative conditions like arthritis or osteoarthritis, and frustrating for others because of the intense and heavy pressure that comes with the daily use of our feet.

Well-trained and skilled foot doctors understand these complexities and intimately know the best ways to manage foot issues to relieve foot pain. It is because of this that you choose the right foot specialist with a high level of knowledge and experience in dealing with foot pain for your care. At Southern California Orthopedic Insitute, our foot doctors are specialty-trained orthopedic surgeons with advanced training in the foot and ankle.
