Podiatry
Healthy, pain-free feet are vital to an active and healthy lifestyle. Our feet and ankles are very complex parts of our body. Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints and 100 muscles, ligaments, and tendons. When any of these parts are not working properly due to injury, wear and tear or a deformity, this can cause discomfort and severely limit our ability to lead an active life. Pain or other problems in your feet and ankles can have serious implications for overall health, particularly if you have diabetes, vascular disease, or other chronic conditions. The board certified podiatrists and foot surgeons at Vascular Institute of San Antonio treat a variety of foot conditions and offer a wide array of treatment options to meet your individual situation, including surgery when necessary.
