What Is Foot and Ankle Arthritis?

 

What Is Foot and Ankle Arthritis?

Arthritis is a degenerative condition that causes inflammation and breakdown of cartilage in the joints. When it affects the foot and ankle, arthritis can make simple movements painful and limit your ability to walk, stand, or exercise.

The most common types include:

  • Osteoarthritis – age-related wear and tear

  • Rheumatoid arthritis – an autoimmune condition

  • Post-traumatic arthritis – caused by previous injury or surgery

  • Gout – a form of arthritis from uric acid buildup, often affecting the big toe

Common Symptoms of Arthritis in the Foot or Ankle

  • Joint pain that worsens with activity

  • Stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting

  • Swelling, tenderness, or warmth around the joint

  • Limited range of motion in the foot or ankle

  • A grinding or clicking sensation in the joints

If these symptoms are affecting your daily life, Dr. Kent Jarvis can provide the diagnosis and relief you need.

How Dr. Kent Jarvis Treats Foot & Ankle Arthritis

At Vital Foot and Ankle, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to arthritis treatment. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Jarvis may recommend:

  • Digital X-rays or advanced imaging to assess joint damage

  • Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling

  • Custom orthotics to support the joints and relieve pressure

  • Corticosteroid injections for targeted relief

  • Ankle braces or shoe modifications to improve function

  • Physical therapy to improve joint strength and flexibility

  • Minimally invasive surgery or joint fusion (for advanced cases)

Our goal is always to reduce pain, improve mobility, and delay or avoid surgery whenever possible.
