General Practitioners

Arthritis
Managing your health as a whole is one of the best ways to avoid hammer toe and its associated complications. If you have diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or another chronic condition that leads to foot deformities, make sure to follow your doctor's treatment plan. Also, address other foot conditions like bunions and corns as soon as they appear.
Plantar Fasciitis
A very common disorder that affects many people. It happens when a band of tissue on bottom of the foot experiences too much stress. Treatment consists of rest, ice, night splint, injections, and custom orthotics to decrease stress.
Pediatric Care

During his time as a resident, Dr. Costa received comprehensive training in reconstructive surgery of complex foot and ankle deformities, including foot and ankle joint replacement, flatfoot, trauma, wound care, elective surgery. Dr. Costa’s areas of interest include trauma/reconstruction, sports medicine, elective surgery, pediatrics, and general foot care.
Emergency Care
The indications to go to a hospital's emergency department are similar to those for which to call the doctor. The following conditions suggest you might have a fracture, or you may need a splint for pain control.

Pregnancy

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

MRI
Testing: Usually no tests are necessary. Your doctor might suggest an X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to make sure your pain isn't being caused by another problem, such as a stress fracture.
X-Rays

Bunion Surgery
Large bump inside of the foot near big toe, redness, soreness. Bunions may not cause pain at firs; however, they can always increase in size and pain. No one bunion is the same. All bunions should be evaluated and specific treatment options should be individualized. Treatment options range from CONSERVATIVE CARE (which includes pads/shields, accommodative shoes, and orthotics) to surgery. IF SURGERY IS REQUIRED newer studies have been investigating the effect of frontal plane rotation around the joint on bunion surgery. THIS IS ONE OF MANY TYPES OF SURGERY OUR PRACTICE OFFERS.
Joint Replacement
Bunions
At its heart, bunions start as a misaligned bone. The bone puts pressure on your joint, which becomes misaligned, too. Then, the entire joint and surrounding tissue become inflamed.

Calluses
Fungus

Bunions Problems
Our feet bear the brunt of our weight every day. Don't make the mistake of letting a lump on your foot cause chronic pain. Instead, read on to get informed about what bunions are and how to treat them.
Calluses
Flat Feet
Flat feet, also called pes planus, is a deformity that occurs when the arch of the foot collapses and comes into complete or near-complete contact with the ground. The condition may be congenital (occurring at the time of birth) or acquired (developing over time, most often as a result of age or injury). Diagnosis of flat feet typically involves a visual examination of the foot, supported by imaging tests. Treatments may involve over-the-counter pain medications, orthotic arch supports, foot exercises and, less commonly, surgery. Between 20 percent and 30 percent of the general population has some degree of flat-footedness.
Hammertoes
