Overview of Arthritis
Arthritis in the feet and ankles is a common but often debilitating condition, affecting a significant portion of the population, especially as they age. This condition can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and can greatly impact the ability to perform everyday activities.

​

Causes and Types
Arthritis in the feet and ankles usually occurs from wear and tear (osteoarthritis), autoimmune disorders (rheumatoid arthritis), or post-injury. Each type leads to joint pain and deterioration, with symptoms varying in intensity and impact on mobility.
