At Pearl Foot and Ankle, our team of Board Certified Podiatrists in Oregon is dedicated to providing non-surgical solutions for arthritis management, helping you relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life. Our tailored treatments are designed to address the symptoms of arthritis in the feet and ankles, offering you lasting relief without the need for invasive surgery. Explore our comprehensive range of non-surgical services below:

1. Joint Injections: Hyaluronic Acid and Corticosteroids
Arthritis can cause painful inflammation and stiffness in the joints, particularly in the feet and ankles. To help alleviate these symptoms, our expert podiatrists offer joint injections of hyaluronic acid and corticosteroids.

  • Hyaluronic Acid Injections: Hyaluronic acid is a natural lubricant that helps reduce friction between the bones and cartilage. Injecting it directly into the affected joint can restore lubrication, ease pain, and improve joint function.
  • Corticosteroid Injections: Corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory medications that can quickly reduce swelling and pain in arthritic joints. These injections provide fast relief and can help restore mobility, allowing you to get back to your daily activities.

Both types of injections are minimally invasive procedures that can offer significant long-term relief from arthritis symptoms.

2. Padding and Strapping for Joint Pressure Relief
If arthritis is causing discomfort due to joint pressure or misalignment, our padding and strapping techniques can make a significant difference. These methods are designed to provide targeted support, reduce stress on the affected joints, and correct alignment issues.

  • Padding: Specially designed foot pads are strategically placed to relieve pressure points, ensuring your feet and ankles are supported throughout the day. This simple yet effective treatment can significantly reduce pain caused by arthritis.
  • Strapping: Strapping techniques are used to stabilize the joints and correct improper alignment, which helps in minimizing discomfort and promoting proper posture. These treatments can also help prevent further joint deterioration, enhancing your mobility.

These services are designed to provide relief from arthritis symptoms while keeping you comfortable and active.

3. Lifestyle Modification Counseling: Footwear and Habits
Managing arthritis requires more than just medical treatments—it also involves making smart choices in your daily life. At Pearl Foot and Ankle, our podiatrists provide lifestyle modification counseling tailored to your specific needs. Our recommendations focus on improving your daily habits and choosing the right footwear to minimize arthritis pain and prevent further joint damage.

  • Footwear Recommendations: Proper footwear plays a crucial role in managing arthritis. Our experts will guide you in selecting shoes that provide the right support, cushioning, and alignment, helping to reduce strain on your joints and relieve pain.
  • Daily Habit Guidance: We’ll offer tips on how to adjust your lifestyle, such as managing your weight, incorporating joint-friendly exercises, and avoiding activities that may exacerbate arthritis symptoms.
