Warts
Arthritis
There are 26 bones in each of your feet and ankles, accounting for more than one quarter of all of the bones in your body. These bones come together in more than 30 joints. Arthritis is the commonly used term to refer to over 100 degenerative joint diseases. These include the most common, Osteoarthritis, along with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and even gout. Read More
Plantar Fasciitis
In addition, many problems that in the past required extensive surgery such as ligament and tendon tears, plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinitis are now being successfully treated without the need for open surgery. If you've been suffering with tendinitis, a ligament injury, joint pain or acute soft tissue trauma PRP may be the best solution for you. Make an appointment with Hartford Podiatry Group and learn how Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy can help restore you to optimal health.

Wound Care
If you have a non healing wound on your lower extremity, it is essential that you act to get it healed as quickly as possible to prevent infection and further complications. If you have diabetes, you are especially at risk for complications. The sooner a wound is treated the greater the patient's chances are of healing. When you first come to our practice, Hartford Podiatry Group, Our Podiatrists, Certified Wound Care Specialists will use the latest technology to perform a comprehensive neurologic, vascular and orthopedic exam. Once the wounds are healed, patients are regularly followed up to help avoid future problems.
Ankle Surgery
Dr. Kosofsky is an Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and was the Section Chief of Podiatric Foot and Ankle Surgery at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center from 2009 thru 2021. He was also named the " Podiatrist of the Year " by the Connecticut Podiatric Medical Association in 2011.
Bunion Surgery
Bunions if left untreated, not only can become painful, but can become progressively worse. Although wider shoes, padding and custom orthotics may slow down this progression, surgery is the only way to correct the bunion deformity. Bunion surgery is usually performed on an out-patient basis which means patients get to go home on the same day of the surgery. Many of our patients start walking on the operative foot within a few days and can return to work within a short period of time. It is our objective to get you back on your feet as soon possible.
Bunions
Bunions are due primarily to genetic factors, but can become painful over time due to trauma, ill-fitting shoes and poor foot structure. What happens, is that the bone connected to the big toe starts to drift outward pushing the big toe sideways into the other toes which can also lead to painful hammertoes, corns and calluses.
Ingrown Toenails
Treatment for ingrown toenails is performed by gently numbing the toe, and then removing the offending corner of the nail. If you have chronic ingrown toenails, we can remove the root in the office to permanently prevent re-growth of the ingrown portion of the nail. Make an appointment today and find ingrown toenail pain relief. Your treatment will be gentle and virtually painless.

Skin Cancer
When you consider the dangers of cancer, you might think of body parts such as the breast or the lungs before you think of the skin, but skin cancer is a serious problem. And if you do think of skin cancer, you might worry first about your face or another spot that is frequently exposed to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Nonetheless, melanoma of the foot is a serious problem. When caught early, melanoma of the foot is treatable. Read on to learn about signs and symptoms and what you can do to stay safe. Read More
Corns
People with hammertoe may have corns or calluses on the top of the middle joint of the toe or on the tip of the toe. They may also feel pain in their toes or feet and have difficulty finding comfortable shoes. Causes of hammertoe include improperly fitting shoes and muscle imbalance.
Ulcer
This revolutionary therapy allows the practitioner to better treat their ulcer patients with difficult wounds. The ultrasonic mist penetrates the wound better and allows for the increased profusion of the ulceration, decreased inflammation and decreased bacteria formation.
Calluses
Fungus
Treating up to four toes at the same time, our Noveon Podiatric Laser penetrates the nail surface and destroys the fungus, without the unpleasant heat build-up or fumes common with some lasers. In less than a half hour the automatic treatment program is complete and you can resume your day’s activities. There are no restrictions, and no side effects. You are likely to see results in few months as new nail surface grows in to replace the nail discolored by the disease.
Lesions
We at Hartford Podiatry Group are very excited to announce that we have a brand new and effective treatment for surface based skin lesions, primarily warts.

Ankle Instability
Ankle sprains are an extremely common injury. They involve possible joint damage resulting in swelling, instability and pain, to more severe damage, such as torn ligaments, bruised cartilage and broken bones. Immediate treatment includes rest, ice, compression and anti-inflammatories. Unfortunately, as many as 80% of untreated sprained ankles result in prolonged symptoms. These can include chronic pain or ankle instability, that makes a person prone to repetitive injury later in life and arthritic changes.
Ankle Sprain
Our Sports Medicine Foot & Ankle Doctors treat a wide variety of foot & ankle injuries. Many of our patients present with foot or ankle injuries. These injuries could be the result of simply tripping on the stairs, stepping on a foreign object while barefoot or from playing their favorite sports activity. Our podiatry practice, Hartford Podiatry Group, offers treatment for foot and ankle injuries including...
Bunions Problems
Have you ever heard of a bunion? A bunion is a common foot deformity that occurs when the bones move out of proper alignment and create a painful bump at the joint. Bunions most often occur where the big toe meets the foot, but they can also occur at the smaller toes. These are known as “tailor’s bunions” or “bunionettes.” Bunions typically develop gradually over a long period. No matter where a bunion develops, it can cause pain and difficulty standing, walking, wearing shoes, and engaging in daily activities. Read More

Fungus Toenails
Until recently, if you had toenail fungus, options to treat the disease were limited and often unsuccessful. But with laser therapy, the toenails you remember may be yours again. After laser treatment, patients tell us that after several months, they can wear sandals they haven’t felt comfortable wearing for years. The physicians at the Hartford Podiatry Group are pleased to announce the arrival of the Noveon Podiatric Laser.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a deformity of the second, third, fourth or fifth toes. In this condition, the toe is bent at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. Left untreated, hammertoes can become inflexible and require surgery.

Foot Warts
At Hartford Podiatry Group we offer many wart removal treatment options. Foot Warts (Plantar Warts) are a common foot condition that we treat in our practice. If you have one or more growths on the bottom of your foot that may or may not be painful, chances are it's a plantar wart.
Pediatric Foot Care
Plantar Fasciitis
At Hartford Podiatry Group we treat a lot of heel pain or plantar fasciitis in our office. Many of the symptoms include pain when you first get up in the morning, burning, numbness and increased symptoms by the end of the day. The pain is usually caused by tightening of the plantar fascia ligament located on the bottom of the foot. The plantar fascia ligament supports the arch. When you're resting, the ligament contracts. As you start to walk, the ligament pulls and may tear slightly causing pain. Heel pain can also be brought on by trauma, over exertion, ill- fitting shoes or poor foot alignment.
