Understanding the Foot: Strength in Structure

Your foot is a biomechanical marvel—built to move you through life with strength and precision. With 26 bones, over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and more than 30 joints, it’s organized into three main sections:

  • Forefoot: The toes and metatarsals.
  • Midfoot: The arch, supported by intricate ligaments.
  • Hindfoot: The heel and ankle.

This structure absorbs shock, propels you forward, and adjusts effortlessly to every step you take—even on uneven ground. New York Sports & Joints honors that complexity with expert, targeted care.

Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs

Foot pain may start small but can lead to lasting damage when left untreated. If you’re noticing any of the following symptoms, it’s time to seek expert care:

  • Persistent or intense pain
  • Swelling, bruising, or visible inflammation
  • Difficulty moving your foot or toes
  • Changes in foot structure or shape
  • Instability or looseness when walking
  • Numbness, tingling, or reduced sensation
  • Non-healing wounds, especially if you have diabetes
  • Trouble putting weight on the foot
  • No relief from conservative treatments
  • Recurring injuries in the same area

Sprains, Strains & Fractures: Know the Difference

Your feet are built to move, but even strong structures can suffer injury. Sprains happen when ligaments are overstretched or torn, while strains involve damage to muscles or tendons.
Both often result from quick twists, falls, or overuse. More severe trauma can lead to tears or fractures, especially in those with osteoporosis or repeated stress on the same area.

Other Conditions We Commonly Treat

In addition to sprains, strains, and fractures, we treat a full spectrum of common foot conditions, including:

  • Bunions: Painful swelling and misalignment at the base of the big toe.
  • Hammertoes: Toes that bend abnormally, affecting your balance and shoe fit.
  • Plantar Fasciitis: Heel or arch pain caused by inflammation on the bottom of the foot.
  • Achilles Tendonitis/Ruptures: Strain or tearing of the tendon connecting the calf to the heel.
  • Metatarsalgia: Pain in the ball of the foot, often from impact or overuse.
  • Arthritis: Joint degeneration that leads to stiffness and reduced mobility.
  • Diabetic Foot Concerns: Ulcers, nerve damage, and other serious complications.
  • Morton’s Neuroma: Nerve thickening between the toes that causes tingling or burning.

Some issues respond well to therapy and lifestyle changes, while others may require surgery. Whatever the case, our expert team will guide you every step of the way.

When is foot surgery needed?

Surgery may be recommended when conservative treatments—such as physical therapy, orthotics, or medications—no longer relieve your pain or restore proper function.

Will I need crutches or a cast after surgery?

That depends on the procedure. To keep pressure off your foot during healing, you may need a cast, walking boot, crutches, or a knee scooter. We’ll guide you every step of the way.

Is foot surgery painful?

During surgery, anesthesia ensures you don’t feel a thing. Afterward, we help you manage discomfort with medications, ice, and elevation. Some swelling and soreness are normal, but we’re here to make recovery as smooth as possible.

What are the risks of foot surgery?

As with any surgery, there are risks, such as infection, blood clots, nerve injury, or delayed healing. Our surgeons take every precaution to minimize these risks and will discuss them openly during your consultation.

Can I walk right after foot surgery?

It depends on the type of procedure. Some patients can walk with protective footwear within days; others may need several weeks before bearing weight. Your care plan will be customized to your needs.
