What We Help With

At United Foot & Ankle Surgeons, we care for many foot problems. We use simple and gentle treatments that work. We treat:

Heel pain (like plantar fasciitis)

Flat feet

Ingrown toenails

Bunions

Hammertoes

Warts and nail issues

Pain from weak foot padding

Heel Pain

Heel pain is very common. It often happens from plantar fasciitis. This means the bottom of your foot is sore and tight. It can hurt in the morning or after standing.

We treat heel pain in different ways:

Stretching exercises

Custom shoe inserts (orthotics)

Cold packs

Shockwave therapy

Special fluid injections

Flat foot treatment if needed

We find what works best for your feet.

Flat Feet and HyProCure®

Flat feet can make your whole body hurt. They change how you walk and stand. Sometimes they cause heel pain, knee pain, or back pain.

We fix flat feet using a small device called HyProCure®. This is a tiny piece of titanium. We place it in your foot to lift the arch. This helps your foot line up better. It takes only 20 minutes and heals quickly.

Many people feel better right away. They walk better, stand longer, and feel less pain.

Ingrown Toenails

Ingrown toenails hurt. The edge of your nail grows into your skin. This can cause swelling, redness, and infection.

We treat this gently:

Soak and trim the nail

Clean the area

Use numbing medicine and remove the problem edge

Let the skin heal smoothly

Most people feel better fast. The nail grows back the right way.

Bunions and Hammertoes

A bunion is a bump near your big toe. A hammertoe is when your toe bends and sticks up. Both can hurt and make it hard to wear shoes.

Dr. Ahn uses small tools to fix these problems. He makes tiny cuts to straighten your bones. You can walk the same day in a special shoe. Healing is fast and leaves little or no scar.

We also give tips to help without surgery, like shoe pads and toe splints.

4 Common Questions

How do you find out what’s wrong with my feet?

We ask you where it hurts, when it started, and what makes it worse. Then we look at your foot and how you walk. Sometimes we take a picture (X-ray) to see inside. Then we choose the best plan to help you heal.

What makes HyProCure® a good fix for flat feet?

HyProCure® is safe and fast. It helps your foot arch stay strong. You can walk soon after and feel better in your legs and back too. The piece is small and can be removed later if needed.

When do I need surgery for bunions?

If pads, better shoes, and other things don’t help your bunion, we may talk about surgery. Dr. Ahn uses tiny tools to fix the bone. You walk the same day and heal fast.

How do you treat ingrown toenails?

First, we clean and trim the nail. If it is really sore or infected, we numb the toe and take out the part causing the pain. Most people feel better right away. We help the nail grow back normally.
