Foot and Ankle Orthopedic Rheumatology

Foot and Ankle Orthopedic Rheumatology focuses on diagnosing and treating joint and soft tissue disorders in the foot and ankle, particularly those related to rheumatic diseases such as arthritis. Rheumatology deals with conditions that affect the immune system and cause inflammation, leading to pain, swelling, and mobility issues. Specialists in this field combine orthopedic expertise with knowledge of rheumatic conditions to improve function and quality of life for patients. Treatment may include medications, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery to relieve pain and restore movement in the foot and ankle.
