Foot Surgery at 1Foot 2Foot

Foot surgery is a treatment option for various conditions and traumatic foot and ankle injuries. It is important to note that common foot and ankle issues may not require a surgical intervention, but if problems persist, your physician may recommend surgery as the most effective option for you.

Surgery can help treat problems related to foot and ankle pain, deformities, fractures, and loss of function in feet and ankles. Our physicians treat conditions including Achilles tendonitis, bunions, foot and ankle traumatic injuries, ganglion cysts, hammertoes, and plantar fasciitis, among others.

If your feet suffer from burning or tingling sensations, radiating pain, or numbness with activities, you may have a peripheral nerve condition (neuropathy) that requires attention. Peripheral neuropathy is often associated with diabetes and can be a challenging condition to deal with. It can cause you to lose sensation in your feet and legs, and because you might not feel a cut or sore spot, an infection is more likely to develop. It is important to treat the condition to prevent further foot problems.

In certain cases, surgery may be required. Nerve surgery is very delicate and should only be undertaken when conservative treatments have failed. If your symptoms are not improving with non-surgical care, we encourage you to schedule an evaluation so we can determine whether surgery is the right path forward.

Peripheral Nerve and Reconstructive Surgery

Our team is dedicated to finding modern, effective treatment options for peripheral neuropathy and other complex foot conditions. You don’t have to live your life in pain, and we are here to help relieve your symptoms with treatment plans built around your specific needs.

Our foot and ankle specialists serving Suffolk, North Suffolk, Hampton, and Virginia Beach, VA, provide comprehensive care for patients experiencing neuropathy, nerve pain, and other complex foot and ankle conditions. Treatment recommendations are based on each patient’s symptoms, underlying condition, and response to conservative care, with surgical options considered when appropriate.

Reconstructive surgery is another option we consider for patients with more advanced deformities, chronic pain, or lasting effects from traumatic injuries. The goal of reconstructive procedures is to restore alignment, function, and comfort so you can return to walking, working, and the activities that matter most to you.

For patients at heightened risk of foot complications, such as those living with diabetes, having a foot callus trimmed down on a regular basis (every two to three months) is an essential component to staying ulcer free. It is also important that higher risk patients get into protective and specialty footwear.

If you are considering surgery or would like a second opinion on a persistent foot or ankle problem, our surgeons will walk you through your options, expected recovery, and long-term outlook so you can make an informed decision.
