Frequently Asked Questions
What common foot and ankle conditions does OrthoNY treat?
OrthoNY treats a range of foot and ankle conditions, from acute injuries to chronic degenerative issues. Common diagnoses include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, ankle sprains, fractures, bunions, hammertoes, flat feet, and arthritis of the foot and ankle joints. We also address sports-related concerns such as turf toe, ankle instability, Achilles tendon ruptures, and overuse injuries.
Our specialists evaluate each patient using weight-bearing X-rays, ultrasound, CT, or MRI to understand the root cause of the pain. Through these assessments, we determine if the issue is due to structural misalignment, tendon injury, inflammation, or degenerative joint disease. Treatment may begin with physical therapy, orthotics, bracing, or injections. For complex cases, surgery may be considered. Patients trust OrthoNY to provide accurate diagnoses and personalized care tailored to their recovery goals.
When should I see a specialist for foot or ankle pain?
Persistent foot or ankle pain that does not improve with rest, ice, or over-the-counter medications may indicate a more serious condition. If you experience swelling, bruising, numbness, tingling, or stiffness that interferes with walking or daily activity, it’s time to consult a specialist.
Deformities like bunions, flat feet, or hammertoes should be evaluated, while pain following a sports injury, a fall, or repetitive overuse can signal a fracture, ligament tear, or tendon strain. Seeing a specialist ensures that these injuries do not develop into long-term impairments. OrthoNY provides comprehensive foot and ankle assessments across multiple locations throughout the Capital District, including Clifton Park and Saratoga, NY. Our team is experienced in evaluating all levels of injury, from sprains to more serious joint conditions.
What non-surgical treatments are available for foot and ankle injuries?
OrthoNY offers an extensive array of non-surgical treatments tailored to the foot and ankle. Physical therapy is a key option. It includes guided exercises that improve range of motion, build strength, correct gait mechanics, and restore balance.
Patients receive customized regimens focused on the specific diagnosis, whether it’s plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or post-fracture rehabilitation. Custom orthotics and bracing can relieve pressure, support alignment, and stabilize movement. We also provide injection therapy, such as corticosteroid or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, when needed. Our team works collaboratively to monitor progress and make real-time adjustments.
What surgical options does OrthoNY provide for foot and ankle conditions?
When foot or ankle conditions do not respond to initial care, OrthoNY’s surgical options offer long-term relief. Our board-certified surgeons treat deformities, injuries, joint diseases, and sports damage using modern techniques.
Common procedures include bunionectomies for bunion correction, hammertoe repair, tendon transfer or repair, and surgical fixation of fractures. For soft tissue injuries or inflammation, we provide minimally invasive options that reduce recovery time. In cases of arthritis, total ankle replacement or fusion surgery may be recommended. Pre-operative imaging and biomechanical analysis allow our team to plan precise surgical interventions. Post-operative rehabilitation is provided in-office for continuity of care. OrthoNY offers surgery at facilities throughout the Capital Region, including Albany and Clifton Park, with a focus on safe outcomes and patient satisfaction.
How do I prepare for surgery, and what is recovery like?
Before surgery, you will meet with an OrthoNY surgeon to review your health history, current medications, and diagnostic results. You’ll receive instructions regarding eating, bathing, and medication changes in the days before your procedure.
We may recommend pre-surgical exercises to improve strength and flexibility. On surgery day, most procedures are outpatient and performed with local or general anesthesia. You will go home with clear post-operative instructions, including wound care, pain control, and mobility expectations, and your recovery will be supported by in-house physical therapists who track your progress and communicate with your surgeon. We make the recovery process accessible, supportive, and fully integrated into your treatment journey.
Can OrthoNY help athletes with foot and ankle performance or injury prevention?
Yes. OrthoNY helps athletes at every level prevent injury, optimize movement, and recover faster from foot and ankle problems. We work with school teams, professional trainers, and recreational athletes to evaluate movement patterns and identify the weaknesses or imbalances that contribute to injury.
Common conditions include sprained ankles, Achilles tendonitis, turf toe, and stress fractures. We provide strength training programs, movement retraining, and advanced therapies like PRP injections to help injured athletes heal faster and return to play safely. For prevention, we offer custom orthotics and bracing when needed. Athletes in Saratoga, Delmar, Glens Falls, and across upstate NY rely on OrthoNY to get back in the game with better biomechanics and stronger foundations.
Do all OrthoNY locations offer treatment for sports-related foot and ankle injuries?
Yes, patients can access care for ankle sprains, tendon injuries, and stress fractures at all OrthoNY clinics, including Albany, Clifton Park, Malta, and Glens Falls. This ensures athletes and active patients have local access to specialized care.
