Conditions We Treat
Our board-certified podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions, ensuring you regain mobility and maintain optimal foot health.
Achilles tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis, characterized by pain and stiffness in the back of your heel, can significantly impact your mobility. While overuse is a common cause, it can also arise from sudden increases in activity. Our podiatrists at AFC Tennessee can diagnose the severity and create a personalized treatment plan to reduce inflammation, improve flexibility, and strengthen the tendon.
Ankle Fractures
Ankle fractures are a common injury, especially among active individuals. They can range from minor cracks to complete breaks, often caused by rolling your ankle or a forceful impact. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty bearing weight. While some fractures heal with rest and bracing, others may require a cast or even surgery. Our podiatrists at AFC Tennessee can diagnose your specific fracture and create a treatment plan to get you back on your feet safely and efficiently.
Ankle Sprains
An ankle sprain is a common injury caused by rolling your ankle. It can cause pain, swelling, and instability. While some sprains heal with rest and home care (RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation), our podiatrists at AFC Tennessee can diagnose the severity and create a personalized treatment plan to get you back on your feet quickly and safely.
Broken Toes
Stubbed a toe? The pain might be temporary, but a fracture can linger. Broken toes, though common, can disrupt your active lifestyle. Our feet endure tremendous stress, and a break can cause throbbing pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. Don’t ignore these signs! Early diagnosis by a podiatrist ensures proper healing and prevents complications. We offer advanced imaging and personalized treatment plans to get you back on your feet, fast.
Bunions
Bothered by a bony bump at the base of your big toe? It could be a bunion, causing pain and making it difficult to wear shoes you love. Our podiatrists can diagnose your bunion and recommend treatment options, from padding and taping for comfort to minimally invasive surgery for lasting relief.

Charcot Foot
Diabetes can lead to Charcot foot, a serious condition causing rapid bone and joint destruction. Often painless at first, Charcot foot can cause significant deformity and instability if left undiagnosed. Our podiatrists at AFC Tennessee expertly diagnose this condition to prevent deformity. Treatment plans include specialized casts, footwear, and close monitoring to stop progression and promote healing. Protect your feet – schedule a consultation today.
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetic foot care is a crucial aspect of managing your overall health. Diabetes can impair circulation and nerve function in the feet, increasing your risk of unnoticed injuries and infections. Our podiatrists can assess your feet for any complications and develop a personalized care plan. This plan may include routine examinations, proper footwear recommendations, and self-care strategies to minimize risks and ensure optimal foot health. Prioritize your well-being – schedule a consultation with AFC Tennessee today.
Hammer Toes
Experiencing discomfort due to toes that curl abnormally within your footwear? Hammer toes can be a source of pain and restrict your ability to wear certain shoes. Our podiatrists at AFC Tennessee can provide a comprehensive evaluation and develop a personalized treatment plan. We aim to restore comfort and allow you to return to your preferred footwear.
Heel Pain
Persistent heel pain can significantly impede your mobility and quality of life. Various conditions can manifest with heel discomfort, and our podiatrists at AFC Tennessee will perform a comprehensive evaluation to pinpoint the exact cause and develop a targeted treatment plan for optimal healing and a swift return to your daily activities.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails, often caused by improper trimming or tight shoes, can cause pain and inflammation at the nail fold. While home remedies may provide temporary relief, seeking professional care from a podiatrist is crucial to prevent infection and ensure proper nail growth. At AFC Tennessee, we offer effective treatment options, including conservative measures and in-office procedures, to restore comfort and prevent future occurrences.
Limb Salvage
Faced with a potential limb-threatening condition, limb salvage offers hope. Our podiatrists at AFC Tennessee will lead a multidisciplinary team to create a customized plan. This plan may include advanced wound care, targeted surgeries, and rehabilitation. Our focus is maximizing healing and preserving limb function, allowing you to retain mobility and independence.
Nail Fungus
Fungal nails, a prevalent foot concern, can cause discoloration, thickening, and crumbling of your toenails. While often painless, they can be aesthetically bothersome and potentially indicate underlying health conditions. Early podiatric intervention is key. Our experienced podiatrists can develop a personalized treatment plan to effectively combat the infection and restore your nails to a healthy state. Contact AFC Tennessee today for a consultation.

Warts
