Foot and Ankle Arthritis Treatment in Burlington
Arthritis in the feet can make every step uncomfortable. We focus on reducing joint stress so you can keep walking comfortably.
Understanding the condition
About foot arthritis & joint pain
The foot contains more than 30 joints, and osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout can all affect them. The big toe joint, midfoot and ankle are commonly involved. Arthritis cannot be reversed, but joint stress can be reduced with orthotics and footwear, pain eased with laser therapy, and associated problems such as corns and deformity managed.
Common symptoms
- Aching or stiffness in the toes, midfoot or ankle
- Swelling around foot joints
- Reduced movement in the big toe
- Pain that worsens with activity
- Changes in foot shape over time
Common causes
- Osteoarthritis (wear and tear)
- Rheumatoid or other inflammatory arthritis
- Gout
- Previous fractures or sprains
- Abnormal foot mechanics
How we treat it
Our approach at Tread Well

Orthotics to offload joints
Custom orthotics limit painful joint motion and redistribute pressure away from arthritic areas.
02
Supportive footwear
Rocker soles and roomy, cushioned footwear reduce the load on stiff toe and midfoot joints.
03
Pain relief and skin care
Laser and ultrasound can ease joint pain, and corns or calluses from altered pressure are treated in clinic.
