Warts
Arthritis
When the immune system attacks and destroys cartilage, rheumatoid arthritis is the cause. This system-wide disease can be painful.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, and is the painful swelling of the plantar fascia, the fibrous band of tissue that connects the heel bone with the toes. The plantar fascia ligament provides support for the heel and arches of the foot. When the ligament is stretched beyond its normal range of motion or strained, the tissue becomes inflamed and swollen. The swelling ultimately results in a constant, dull ache or a sharp stabbing pain in the heel of the foot when walking or standing. The board-certified podiatrists at American Foot & Leg Specialists are experts in treating plantar fasciitis and providing long term relief.
Cryotherapy
Pediatric Care
The podiatrists at American Foot & Leg Specialists have been leaders in the field of podiatric medicine and surgery.

From routine checkups, to athletic or work-related injuries, special treatments and surgery, our podiatric physicians are experts on all foot and ankle needs. They can help with diabetic foot care, corns, flat feet, nail and skin conditions, bunions, nerve testing, lower extremity wound care, pediatric care, and disability ratings.
Primary Care
American Foot & Leg Specialists participate in most insurance plans, managed care, and Medicare. Patients are responsible for co-pays, deductibles, or payment for services provided at the time of visit. Some managed-care plans require a referral from the primary care physician in order to be seen. Obtaining this referral is the responsibility of the patient. All American Foot and Leg Specialists locations in the Atlanta area accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and debit cards.

MRI
At American Foot & Leg Specialists, our doctors are able to perform X-rays right in their offices without having to send the patient out for an MRI. Our patients find being able to begin treatment right away very convenient.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
We provide special tests for the feet, including gait analysis and X-rays. The gait test measures stride, tests foot and ankle strength, and records how the bones in the leg and foot line up when walking. X-rays show the shape of the bones, the spacing between bones, and can reveal how severe the arthritis is, making them valuable to diagnosing arthritis. The exam may also involve a CT scan or MRI to evaluate your condition. After completing the evaluation and reviewing test findings, we will make a diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan.

Arthroscopy
Wound Care
Pay attention to these wound care “Do’s and Don’ts”. Common causes of non-healing wounds are often associated with inadequate circulation, poorly functioning veins, and immobilization. The board-certified podiatric physicians at American Foot & Leg Specialists understand that non-healing wounds of the lower leg and feet of people with diabetes are among the most common non-healing wounds, and one of the most significant complications of diabetes.
Ankle Surgery
MLS laser therapy, also known as cold laser therapy, is an alternative health solution for relief from painful feet without surgery or medication, and is sometimes used to aid in healing following foot or ankle surgery. It is a state-of-the-art procedure that assists in restoring mobility to patients with various foot ailments and conditions that cause foot pain. It has been proven to be an effective treatment through extensive studies conducted by some of the most credible institutions in the country, including

Bunions
Genetic factors also appear to play a role in the formation of bunions. Individuals can be born with extra bones in their feet, which places them at a higher risk for developing bunions. Additionally, arthritis and injury from chronic stress on the feet can also result in bunions: a common example being ballet dancers.

Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are a common problem in which your toenail grows underneath the skin on the side of your toe. If an ingrown nail causes a break in the skin, bacteria may enter and cause an infection in the area, which is often marked by drainage and a foul odor. However, even if the toe is not painful, red, swollen or warm, a nail that curves downward into the skin can progress to an infection. Ingrown toenails commonly only affect on the big toe, but can occur on any of the toes.

Corns
A corn, or foot corn, is scientifically referred to as a heloma. While the term corn is often times used in place of the term callus, it is important to note that they are different. Perhaps the greatest distinction between the two is the location in which they typically form. Corns usually occur in areas of little pressure or non-weight bearing areas, such as on the tops and sides of toes, and typically have a hard center surrounded by tender skin. They can be painful when pressed and result in a dull ache.
Cyst
Ulcer
Diabetic Neuropathy: which occurs as a result of uncontrolled diabetes, and results in the loss of feeling in the feet. The loss of feeling becomes particularly problematic when a blister, cut, ulcer, or similar complication develops on the foot, and a patient cannot detect the complication. The blister, cut, ulcer, or other complication can then go undetected for some time and become infected before it is properly addressed.
Calluses
Some people suffer from the pain and irritation of calloused skin on their feet. Doctors Loren K. Colon and Jeffrey P. Flash, along with their team at American Foot & Leg Specialists want you to know that you don’t have to live with the pain. You may be bothered by calluses and think that nothing can be done to correct them, but we can help you determine what is causing your calluses and help you get rid of them and prevent their return.
Fungus
Contrary to what the name may suggest, athlete’s foot – also called tinea pedis – is not specific to athletes. It is the most common fungal skin infection, which occurs when the tinea fungus grows on the feet.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
One of the most common sports injuries treated at American Foot & Leg Specialists is an Achilles injury or rupture. Most often it is caused by runners who change their running routines and increase their mileage, such as the amount of uphill running, and even in changes in footwear can cause injury. These factors can lead to Achilles tendonitis, a condition of irritation and inflammation of the large tendon in the back of the ankle, which can cause swelling and become quite painful if not diagnosed and treated immediately.
Physical Therapy
For grade two and grade three sprains, our physicians immobilize the ankle with a wrap or splint and prescribe a regimen of physical therapy exercises along with rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the ankle. For grade three sprains, immobilization of the joint lasts much longer and in extreme cases, surgical reconstruction of the ligaments might be required.

Achilles Tendonitis
Injuries to the Achilles tendon include nagging problems like tendonitis, as well as major issues such as tears or ruptures. Many Achilles Tendon injuries are the result of overuse or a sudden, forceful movement typically performed in sports.
Ankle Instability
Grade 2 Sprain: involves partial tearing of the ligaments. Pain and swelling are typically more severe, and the ankle has bruising and discoloration. Patients with a grade two sprain may have difficulty walking due to pain and ankle instability.

Flat Feet
Flat feet and fallen arches are used interchangeably to refer to a condition in which there is no arch of the foot. The arch is formed by tendons in the foot that stretch from the heel to the base of the toes, or metatarsals. There are also supporting tendons that originate in the lower leg. Together, these tendons work to form an arch, noticeable as a slight rise in the inner midsole of the foot. This rise, or arch, can be classified as a normal arch, a high arch, or a fallen arch. When tendons do not work together to pull properly, a fallen arch or flat foot occurs. Aside from the occasional pain associated with this condition, problems with fallen arches can extend upwards to the ankles, knees, hips, and even the back, leading to an altering of the biomechanics of the body.
Fungus Toenails
The latest laser technology delivers a gentle laser light beam that has no harmful effects on healthy tissue. In fact, it targets only the infected area of the toenail complex. No drugs or topical ointments are used, thus eliminating side effects that often accompany traditional oral medications. The board-certified podiatric physicians at American Foot & Leg Specialists are experts in treating toenail fungus and believe in this latest, advanced form of treatment.

Heel Spurs
A heel spur is a bone growth on the heel bone resulting from chronic overstretching of the plantar fascia, the ligament on the bottom of the foot which supports the arch. The plantar fascia attaches to the bottom of the heel bone and usually surrounds the area of the spur. When you have heel pain it is due to swelling of the tissue around the spur, not the presence of the spur. The spur will not go away, but with proper treatment the pain will go away once the swelling is resolved. The board-certified podiatrists at American Foot & Leg Specialists will work with you to diagnose the cause of your heel pain and recommend a course of treatment.
Heel Pain
At American Foot & Leg Specialists, the starting point for any heel pain treatment is reducing the swelling with anti-inflammatory medication and ice therapy. The next step is learning how and when to stretch and ice down the tissue. Finally, providing support for the plantar fascia ligament allows it to rest and not become chronically over fatigued or overstretched. In some resistant cases, cortisone injections are used when the swelling and pain does not improve. Good results are achieved 95-98% of the time by following these treatment plans.
Foot Pain
Foot Infections
Vesicular-type infection: A vesicular-type infection may begin with the sole of the foot developing fluid-filled blisters underneath the skin. However, these blisters can appear anywhere on the foot. This type of athlete’s foot infection can also result in a bacterial infection.

Podiatric Deformities
Early consultation and treatment is an important medical decision for the diabetic patient. Treatment may entail conservative measures, such as debridement of toenails, corns and calluses, prescribing custom-made shoes, prescribing medications, care of open sores, and proper education about foot care. In some instances surgical measures are employed to ensure that foot deformities do not progressively worsen and lead to further complications.
