Ankle Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive way to treat a variety of problems within the ankle joint. The subtalar joint, which is the joint below your ankle, can also be accessed through the scope. Removal of loose portions of bone, bone spurs, and soft tissue thickening are the most common indication for the scope.
Bunion or Hallux Abducto Valgus (HAV) as it is classically described is a bump on the inside part of the foot. There are a number of factors that affect the creation of a bunion and genetics, foot wear, activity level and increased pronation are implicated the most. Surgery is designed to correct the deformity at the most appropriate level.
Heel Pain is a common condition that affects millions of Americans on a daily basis. There are a variety of causes of heel pain and sometimes takes x-rays and nerve studies and MRI's to help determine the exact cause of the pain. Most often it is related to the plantar fascia. The cause of heel pain can be from a variety of things but the most common cause is the plantar fascia is injured and is trying to heal itself. The cause of the injury is different for everybody. Some people can injury the ligament by gaining weight puting more stress than normal on it.

Dr Nelson is my HERO! Not only did he diagnose Tarsal Tunnel in both feet but he also suggested that I may have "lumbar stenosis" and said some of my pain could be from that, he suggested the spine center. long story short my new Dr at the spine center said "WHO IS YOUR FOOT DR?! after a MRI it was confirmed that I do Have Lumbar Stenosis. the Dr's at the spine Center were quite impressed that a foot Dr. had deduced that. thank you Dr Nelson! you really are my Hero! not only did I get my life & mobility back with no feet pain but I have lost 27 lbs since my last surgery on March 3 2021. You are a great guy! : & i love his Nurse Kathy too! they are all so nice up there!
