Expert Care for All Of Your Podiatric Needs

Ankle Conditions

Here are some conditions we treat in the ankle:

Ankle sprains

Ankle fractures

Achilles tendinitis

Posterior tibial tendinitis

Peroneal tendinitis

We offer treatments for all kinds of ankle problems.

Many times I hear patients say that they "just" sprained their ankle, as if it will get better on its own.  They think it is not a serious injury so they don't seek treatment for their sprained or injured ankle.  But then weeks and months go by, and the ankle pain is still there.  It is important to not "tough it out".  People hear "no pain, no gain".  That is not true with ankle injuries.  Often an ankle injury might start out minor, however continued standing, walking, driving, running, etc. may turn a minor ankle injury into a major ankle injury.  It is important to have your injured ankle examined as quickly as possible to avoid long term ankle problems. 

We offer effective treatments for arthritis in the great toe joint.

If pain in your great toe joint is holding you back from your favorite activities, don’t ignore it.  A Step Above Foot Care offers treatment options to treat pain in the great toe joint and get you back on your feet again.  We offer in-house imaging (x-rays, ultrasound, and MRI imaging) to help diagnose your foot problem, and have conservative treatment (Synvisc injections, custom orthotics) as well as surgical treatment options.  Call our office today if you are experiencing pain in your great toe joint.

Heel & Foot Pain

Your feet work hard to keep you going, but when you're experiencing foot or heel pain, even the simplest activities can suddenly seem excruciating. Don't shrug off heel pain or foot pain in the hopes it will just go away—ignoring pain can cause long-term problems. A Step Above Foot Care offers in-house imaging (x-rays and MRI imaging), accurate diagnoses, and a wide range of treatments (including shockwave and MLS laser) to help you get back on your feet as quickly as possible.   Dr. Miller-Khawam is very conservative, and only performs surgery after conservative treatment has failed, unless there is a fracture or dislocation that won't heal on its own.  Learn more about our practice, common causes of heel or foot pain, and available treatments.  Call our office to schedule an appointment to get you back on your feet.

Nail & Skin Care

It is important to maintain the health of your feet's skin and toenails.  If you have dry, cracked skin, or you keep your feet in shoes with moist socks, you put your feet at risk for a number of unpleasant issues, such as fungal or bacterial infections, viruses, and more.  Fortunately, if you are struggling with a skin problem on your foot or a toenail issue, A Step Above Foot Care's expert podiatrist can help you resolve it as quickly and painlessly as possible so you can feel good about your feet again.  Call our office today to have your feet examined and treated.  NOTE:  WE NO LONGER PROVIDE ROUTINE NAIL TRIMMING.
