Foot & Ankle Conditions We Treat at LAOSS
Foot and ankle pain can disrupt your ability to move comfortably, stay active, or simply go about your day. Left untreated, even mild discomfort can progress into more serious issues. Our experienced podiatrists and orthopedic specialists treat a wide range of conditions affecting the feet, ankles, and related joints, helping patients get back on their feet faster and with fewer setbacks:
Structural & Soft Tissue Conditions
We treat a full range of structural and soft tissue foot issues, including plantar fasciitis, flatfoot, heel spurs, deformities, neuromas, Achilles injuries, and diabetic wounds. Our specialists provide early diagnosis, personalized care, and advanced treatment to relieve pain, restore mobility, and prevent complications, so you can get back on your feet faster.
Orthopedic Injuries
Our team of podiatrists and orthopedic specialists treat foot and ankle injuries like tendon tears, ligament tears, fractures, cartilage damage, and complex ligament injuries such as ACL or MCL tears. Whether from sports, falls, or overuse, we offer prompt evaluation, in-house imaging, and tailored treatment plans to promote healing and long-term joint stability.
Chronic Conditions & Degeneration
We provide expert care for chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis or tendinopathy, and ongoing joint or soft tissue pain. These degenerative issues can worsen over time without treatment. Our specialists develop personalized care plans to reduce pain, restore mobility, and help patients stay active, using both conservative therapies and advanced interventions like surgery when needed.

Many people live with foot or ankle pain far longer than necessary and are often unsure where to turn. At LAOSS, we make the diagnostic process clear, comfortable, and efficient.
Here’s what to expect at your visit:
- A detailed review of your medical history and symptoms
- A hands-on physical exam and gait analysis to assess movement and alignment
- On-site X-rays for a full picture of your condition

Podiatric and Orthopedic Procedures for Foot and Ankle Care
Our podiatry and orthopedic specialists offer a full range of treatments to address foot and ankle conditions, starting with the most conservative approach first. No matter your condition, we tailor every treatment plan to your needs, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
Whether you’re managing chronic pain or recovering from an injury, our integrated care model ensures you receive the most effective solution, right when you need it.
Wound Management
We provide advanced wound management for patients with chronic or non-healing foot wounds. Our specialists offer several types of wound care, including debridement to remove damaged tissue and promote healing, as well as wound grafts when necessary.
Non-Surgical/Conservative Treatments
We offer a full spectrum of non-surgical treatments designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and prevent further injury. From custom orthotics to Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, our specialists focus on conservative solutions first.
Surgical Treatments
When conservative care isn’t enough, we offer expert surgical treatments for complex foot and ankle conditions. Our board-certified specialists perform minimally invasive procedures, including tendon repairs, fracture fixation, and more, focused on reducing downtime, restoring function, and delivering long-term relief.

What kind of doctor should I see for a wound on my foot that won’t heal?
If you have a foot wound that won’t heal, you should see a podiatrist, particularly one experienced in wound care and diabetic foot management. Our LAOSS podiatry team specializes in diagnosing and treating non-healing wounds with advanced techniques like debridement, wound grafts, and personalized care plans to prevent infection, reduce complications, and support faster healing.
Is it normal for foot pain to spread to my ankle or knee?
Foot pain that spreads to your ankle or knee isn’t uncommon, but it’s not something to ignore. It may signal underlying issues like flatfoot, poor alignment, or tendon strain, which can affect your entire lower body. Our specialists can evaluate your gait and joint mechanics to pinpoint the cause and create a personalized treatment plan.
Can I see a podiatrist without a referral in California?
Yes, in California, you can typically see a podiatrist without a referral, especially if you have PPO insurance or are paying out of pocket. If you’re interested in podiatry care at LAOSS and do not have a referral, we encourage you to contact us for more details.
Can I go to a podiatrist for ankle pain or should I see an orthopedist?
Yes, you can go to a podiatrist for ankle pain, especially if it’s related to tendons, ligaments, or foot mechanics. Our podiatrists and orthopedic specialists at LAOSS work together, so you get the right diagnosis and treatment, whether it’s conservative care or surgical intervention. You don’t have to choose; we offer comprehensive, coordinated ankle care in one place.
