Foot and Ankle

An orthopedic doctor provides foot and ankle orthopedic services to a patient.

Take the First Steps Toward Pain-Free Living

The average person walks more than 100,000 miles in a lifetime. So it’s no surprise that the feet and ankles are at risk for wear and tear over time and are some of the most frequently injured areas of the body. The impact can affect balance, mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life.

The orthopedic experts of St. Joseph’s Health provide exceptional, comprehensive foot and ankle care—from initial consultation and diagnosis through treatment and follow-up.  Our team of foot and ankle specialists collaborate with experts in pain management, sports medicine, podiatry and physical therapy to determine the optimal treatment plan. Our orthopedic specialists use the latest minimally-invasive techniques, along with advanced pain relief and rapid recovery surgical techniques, to help you heal faster and get back to life as usual sooner.

  • Arthritis

Advanced Treatment Options

Our foot and ankle surgeons are among the most experienced in New Jersey. They will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your unique case. Their goal is to restore as much function as possible and stop the progressions of the disease or condition so you can do the activities you love once again.

Our physicians often recommend non-surgical therapies first. Many conditions can be resolved non-surgically with medications, physical therapy, casts, and orthotics. When nonsurgical treatments are not effective, surgery may be recommended. Our surgeons perform a wide range of foot and ankle surgeries, using the latest, minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. This means significantly less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to your life.  

Surgical treatment options include:

  • Ankle arthroscopy
  • Bunion surgery (bunionectomy)
  • Correction of deformities
  • Reconstructive foot surgery
  • Repair of fractures
  • Revision surgery for prior treatment
  • Total ankle replacement
  • Trauma and fracture surgery
