Education & Experience
Conditions Dr. Gary Driver Treats
Dr. Gary Driver treats a wide range of foot and ankle conditions and injuries, including:
-
Plantar FasciitisPlantar fasciitis is a condition in which the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue running along the bottom of the foot, becomes inflamed. It is caused by excessive pressure, often as a result of obesity, long-distance running, and arch problems like flat feet or high arches. Depending on the severity of the case, treatment may involve physical therapy, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, night splints, or even surgery.
-
Foot and Ankle Stress FracturesFoot and ankle stress fractures are small cracks in the bone that can result from impact on a hard surface, improper footwear, or an increase in physical activity. They are more common in athletes participating in high-impact sports. Treatment can involve temporary immobilization of the affected leg or surgery in more severe cases.
-
Bunions and HammertoesBunions and hammertoes are foot deformities that can cause pain and make walking difficult. A bunion is a bump that appears at the base of the big toe, whereas a hammertoe is a deformity that causes the lesser toes to bend upward at the middle joint. Depending on the severity of either condition, they can be treated non-surgically or with surgical procedures.
-
Foot and Ankle ArthritisArthritis is the inflammation of the joints and can cause severe pain and swelling, restricting movement and making it challenging to perform daily activities like walking or standing. Treatment for this condition aims to alleviate pain and improve mobility through medication, braces to support the joints, cortisone injections, and orthotics. In some cases, surgery may be necessary.
-
Charcot Foot and AnkleCharcot foot is a condition characterized by the gradual weakening of the bones, joints, and soft tissues in the feet. The loss of sensation associated with this condition can prevent those who suffer from it from noticing that anything is wrong, increasing the likelihood of developing foot deformities. As the condition progresses, the bones in the feet become fragile and can easily break or move out of place.
-
FlatfootFlatfoot is a condition in which the arches of the feet are non-existent or disappear when a person stands. Although flatfoot doesn't always present symptoms, some people may experience pain and limited mobility as a result of the condition. If this is the case for you, there are a number of surgical and non-surgical treatment options that can correct the condition and ease your pain.
