Foot Arthritis Treatment in Irvine
Expert Relief for Joint Pain & Inflammation
Understanding Arthritis in the Feet
Arthritis is a complex disease process that involves the severe inflammation of the cartilage and the lining of the body's joints. If the feet seem especially susceptible to arthritis compared to other parts of the body, it is because each foot contains 33 complex joints. Because there is no way to avoid the tremendous weight-bearing load we put on our feet every single day, arthritic feet can rapidly result in a crippling loss of mobility and independence.
Currently afflicting nearly 40 million Americans, arthritis primarily targets individuals over the age of 50. However, the condition can strike at almost any age depending on your lifestyle and genetics. The great news is that severe pain and loss of independence can be completely avoided with early diagnosis and expert podiatric care from Dr. Sima Soltani.
What Causes Foot Arthritis?
Arthritis has multiple causes, similar to how a sore throat can stem from a variety of different illnesses. While genetics and heredity play a massive role in structural deterioration, many cases are heavily traumatic. Athletes and industrial workers frequently develop arthritis from old, ignored foot and ankle injuries that suffer repeated stress.
Furthermore, bacterial and viral infections—including the organisms responsible for Lyme disease—can actively strike the joints. Arthritis can even develop in conjunction with inflammatory bowel disorders or as part of a congenital autoimmune syndrome.
Common Symptoms & Comprehensive Treatment
Because arthritis can permanently alter the structure and function of the feet, it is critical to see a podiatrist if you experience localized swelling, recurring tenderness, redness and heat in the joint, limited motion, or early morning stiffness. At our Irvine clinic, Dr. Soltani relies on non-surgical interventions whenever possible. Depending on the severity of your joint degeneration, we utilize state-of-the-art stem cell therapy to regenerate damaged tissue, and custom orthotics to permanently cushion and correct your foundation.
