Warts
Arthritis
Arthritis is a condition in which the joints become inflamed, swollen, stiff, and painful. There are many different types of arthritis that can affect the joints of the feet and ankles. The two most common forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Plantar Fasciitis
"Dr Greiff is the best in his field. In over 15 years he has treated me for plantar fasciitis, broken toes & ankle, toenail issues & osteo arthritis. He has also fitted me with orthotics several times. And very importantly, his “bedside” manner has helped be calm down when I’ve been come to the appointment frightened & upset"
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes can affect every part of your body - including your feet. Those with diabetes are more likely to experience associated health conditions such as peripheral neuropathy and poor circulation. These can lead to a loss of sensation and impaired wound healing in the feet and ankles, so people with diabetes must be extra vigilant when it comes to monitoring and maintaining the health of their feet.

Joint Replacement
Arthritis, which can affect the joints of the feet and ankles, can be treated surgically as well. Joint replacement surgery may be suggested for joints in the feet or the ankle joints if the arthritis is severe and significantly impacts your mobility. Systemic diseases, like diabetes, poor circulation, and peripheral neuropathy, can damage the lower limbs. When these conditions are left undiagnosed, untreated, or are poorly managed, lower limb problems often occur. Infected and poorly healing foot wounds, for example, are frequently seen among people with diabetes. When these wounds progress, surgery may be needed to remove damaged tissue and save the limb from amputation.
Bunions
Bunions can be diagnosed by a podiatrist through physically examining the foot. Sometimes, an X-ray may also be ordered to assess the extent of the deformity. Conservative treatments, such as wearing shoes with a wide toe box or custom orthotics, padding the bunion, and resting and icing the foot can stop the bunion from worsening. Surgery may be recommended to correct more severe bunions. If you have bunions, please see a podiatrist for treatment.
Ingrown Toenails
Most ingrown toenails are caused by improper trimming of the nails. Trimming your nails into a rounded shape or cutting them too short can lead to ingrown toenails. When trimming the toenails, it is suggested that you use nail clippers to trim the nails straight across. The nails’ length should be roughly even with the tips of your toes. Wearing shoes that are too tight and narrow in the toes can also lead to ingrown nails, as the tight shoes compress your toes and can cause the nails to dig into the skin. To avoid this, opt for shoes with a wide toe box.

Corns
Corns are hardened bumps of skin that can appear on your feet. You may get corns in response to friction from your shoes rubbing against an area of skin, being on your feet for prolonged periods of time, walking barefoot, or as a consequence of structural or biomechanical deformities in your feet. Corns get their name from their physical appearance, which is similar to a corn kernel. Much like a corn kernel, a foot corn is rough, yellowish, and bumpy.
Frostbite
Calluses
Doing a daily foot inspection, which can be done with the help of a mirror, is vital. This practice can help you detect any abnormalities in your feet early on so that they can be treated promptly. Each day, sit down in a chair and check both of your feet for any cuts, scrapes, sores, bruises, blisters, cracks, corns, calluses, swelling, or discoloration. Also, take note of how your feet feel. Is there any pain or discomfort? Burning, stinging, numbness, or itchy sensations? If you notice anything out of the ordinary, it is strongly suggested that you see a podiatrist as soon as possible. A podiatrist can help you by diagnosing and treating any foot problems when they arise, thus maintaining the health of your feet.
Eczema
Fungus
Athlete’s foot is a contagious fungal infection of the skin of the feet - and it can affect more than just athletes. It is spread by contact between the skin of the feet and fungus, which can get in through tiny cracks in the skin. The fungus may be spread from walking on an infected surface or sharing personal items like shoes, socks, or towels with an infected individual. Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments like communal showers, locker rooms, and public swimming pools, so it is suggested that you wear shoes when walking in these areas to avoid direct contact with the fungus.
Lesions
Are you tired of dealing with pesky warts? We at (Insert Clinic Name Here) are very excited to announce that we have a brand new and effective treatment for surface based skin lesions, primarily warts.
Psoriasis
Many people enjoy walking and may be concerned about blisters developing on their feet. Blisters produce pain and discomfort and may also cause the gait, or walking style, to change. Blisters are often caused by excess friction due to the shoes and socks that are worn. A common place they develop is on the back of the heel as the foot rubs against the shoe. With enough friction, a bubble forms that is filled with a protective liquid to protect the damaged skin. The bubble will gradually drain as new skin forms under it, and a bandage may be worn to help prevent it from popping prematurely. There may be existing medical conditions, like psoriasis and eczema, that can cause a blister to form. Frostbite, extreme sunburn, or an allergic reaction to an insect bite may also result in a blister. If you would like to learn about effective blister prevention methods, it is suggested that you confer with a podiatrist who can provide you with the information you are seeking.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Podiatrists often see patients who have experienced a foot or ankle injury while playing sports. Popular sports such as running, soccer, football, basketball, tennis, and dance can be particularly hard on the feet and ankles. Strain on the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones of the lower limbs from overtraining and repetitive motions can lead to overuse injuries. Acute trauma to the feet or ankles while playing sports or training are also common. Some of the sports injuries that podiatrists frequently diagnose and treat include plantar fasciitis, turf toe, sesamoiditis, stress fractures, ankle sprains, and Achilles tendonitis.
Physical Therapy
Treatment depends upon the specific cause of neuropathy. If the neuropathy was caused by vitamin deficiency, diabetes, infection, or toxic substances, treating the condition can lead to the nerve healing and sensation returning to the area. If the nerve has died, however, sensation may never return to the area. Pain medication may be prescribed for less serious symptoms. Certain topical creams may work to bring back sensation. Electrical nerve stimulation may be used for a period of time to stimulate nerves, and physical therapy can strengthen muscles and improve movement. Surgery may be necessary if pressure on the nerve is causing the neuropathy.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
Sprained ankles are a common podiatric injury. While athletes often suffer from sprained ankles sustained while playing sports, any sudden twisting, turning, or rolling of the ankle at an awkward angle can lead to an ankle sprain. Risk factors that increase your likelihood of an ankle injury include walking or running on uneven surfaces, having a poor physical condition, wearing high heels, and having a history of prior ankle injuries.

General Podiatry
To ensure your convenience, below is the information you need about our podiatry office, including our hours, location, appointment scheduling and insurance acceptance.
Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendon injuries are typically the result of overuse - a sudden increase of a repetitive activity that puts excess stress on the tendon. Activities that can lead to overuse injuries include running, jumping, playing certain sports, and working in a standing position for prolonged periods of time. People who have flat feet or an abnormal gait may also be more likely to develop Achilles tendon issues as their foot structure and walking pattern can put greater stress on the tendon.
Ankle Instability
When your ankle is sprained, the ligaments that support the ankle joint and connect the bones to each other are overstretched or torn. This can result in symptoms such as ankle pain, tenderness, swelling, bruising, a restricted range of motion, and ankle instability. It may become difficult or even impossible to walk, and without taking time to fully recover, repeated ankle sprains are more likely to occur.
Ankle Sprain
Although the majority of foot and ankle conditions can be treated with conservative measures, there are cases when surgical intervention can be suggested or necessary to relieve symptoms and restore function. A variety of foot and ankle injuries, deformities, diseases, and systemic conditions that affect the lower limbs can be treated surgically. Whether or not surgery may benefit you is dependent on the problem and its duration, as well as its severity.
Arthritic Foot Care
Bunions Problems
A bunion is a common foot deformity characterized by a bony bump appearing at the base of the big toe joint. This bump tends to progressively worsen over time if left untreated, growing larger and pushing the big toe out of alignment. Beyond altering the physical appearance of the feet, bunions can also become painful, swollen, tender, and inflamed, making wearing shoes and walking uncomfortable.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
We also specialize in diabetic foot care and fall risk assessments. Our comprehensive gait analysis program allows us to diagnose and treat a variety of biomechanical abnormalities, and we also prescribe custom orthotics for both adults and children.
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
The Remy Laser is an innovative class IV laser used for treating chronic foot and ankle pain, toenail fungus, as well as a spectrum of podiatric conditions. Some of the most common foot and ankle conditions that could be treated with REMY laser therapy include...
Geriatric Foot Care
Hammertoes
Hammertoes are thought to be caused by a muscle imbalance in the toes, which puts increased pressure on the toe’s tendons and joints. This muscle imbalance may be caused by genetic differences in the structure of your foot, wearing shoes that are too tight, small, or narrow, have no arch support, or have excessively high heels, neuromuscular diseases, and injury to the toes.
Heel Spurs
Heel spurs are deposits of calcium that build upon the underside of the heel bone. They are usually caused by excessive strain on the foot muscles and ligaments and are especially common among athletes. Other risk factors for developing heel spurs include being overweight or obese, wearing ill-fitting shoes, and having an abnormal gait or walking pattern.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of a nail grows into the surrounding skin, rather than over it. This can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and tenderness of the surrounding area. In more severe cases, the area can become infected and lead to bleeding, oozing of pus, and fever, among other symptoms.
Foot Injuries
Metatarsalgia
Describing the location and type of foot pain that you are experiencing is the key to an accurate diagnosis. Pain in the heel is often caused by plantar fasciitis, Sever’s disease, bursitis, Achilles tendonitis, a heel spur, or a stress fracture. Pain in the middle of the foot may be due to an overuse injury, stress fracture, sprains, flat feet, or arthritis. Pain in the front of the foot is frequently the result of a sprained or broken toe, Morton’s neuroma, bunions, hammertoes, or metatarsalgia. Stinging, burning, or numbness may be indicative of damage to one or more nerves in the feet. Stabbing or sharp pain may be caused by an acute injury. Stiffness and a reduction are usually characteristic of a joint problem, such as arthritis.

We also offer FDA cleared SWIFT therapy for the removal of painful plantar warts, Amniox® injections for tendinitis and plantar fasciitis, Lumix therapy for a variety of inflammatory conditions and fungal nails, and more. Many of our patients have had a reduction in pain and inflammation-and faster healing-with Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser Therapy.
Podiatric Deformities
A variety of foot conditions can warrant a custom orthotics prescription. Pain from chronic foot injuries, such as plantar fasciitis or a stress fracture, can be helped by wearing cushioning, or supportive orthotic inserts in your shoes. Symptoms from common foot deformities such as bunions and hammertoes can also be managed, and the progression of the disorders stopped or slowed down, by wearing orthotics. Foot structure abnormalities, like flat feet or high arches, can cause discomfort while walking or standing, which can be alleviated with orthotics. An abnormal gait, for example, one in which your feet turn too far inwards while walking, can also be corrected with custom orthotics.
