Your foot and ankle are surprisingly delicate limbs, so treatments in their areas require the experience of a confident expert. Don’t settle for inexperienced doctors, especially when it comes to something as important as your personal health. The doctor you choose to consult with should be fully qualified to answer your doubts with a confirmed authority. Ravinia Associates in Internal Medicine can supply these kinds of answers, along with an assurance that you’ll be presented with the medical assistance you’re looking for.

Foot Fractures
Ingrown Toenails
Heel and Arch Pain
Corns / Calluses
Bunion Pain
Bunions are often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. But a bunion is more than that. The visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot. With a bunion, the big toe leans toward the second toe, rather than pointing straight ahead. This throws the bones out of alignment - producing the bunion's "bump".
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a contracture - or bending - of one or both joints of the second, third, fourth, or fifth (little) toes. This abnormal bending can put pressure on the toe when wearing shoes, causing problems to develop.
Nerve Pain
Ankle Pain
Sports Injuries
Plantar Warts
Peripheral Artery Disease
Diabetic Foot Care
Having diabetes puts you at risk for developing a wide range of foot problems: Infection and ulcers, corn and calluses, dry, cracked skin, nail disorders, hammertoes and bunions, brittle bones, charcot foot, and blocked artery in the calf.
Children's Foot Problems
Wound Care
Flatfoot
Flatfoot is common in both children and adults. When this deformity occurs in children, it is referred to as "pediatric flatfoot," a term that actually includes several types of flatfoot. Although there are differences between the various forms of flatfoot, they all share one characteristic - partial or total collapse of the arch.
