Foot Doctor

Our foot and ankle doctor at Litchfield Hills Orthopedic Associates, located in Torrington and Bristol, is a recognized expert in the field and has the specialized knowledge and training to assess, diagnose, and treat a full range of foot and ankle injuries and conditions. 

From our earliest days, humans have suffered from foot pain because of our bipedal nature to walk on two feet. As such, foot pain has long been treated by medical doctors for several common conditions and injuries including:

  • Arthritis, or pain or stiffness in the foot
  • Bunions, or abnormal enlargements of the big toe joint
  • Diabetic foot care, or the foot conditions that can result in diabetics
  • Flatfoot, or a lowering of the arch
  • Gout, or a joint swelling disease
  • Hammertoes, or the flexed downward toe
  • Heel spurs, or a bony growth within a tendon or muscle
  • Pediatric foot and ankle deformities, or a range of conditions that affects the bones, muscles, or tissues in children
  • Plantar fasciitis, or a form of tendonitis (medically referred to as tendinitis)
  • Trauma, or an unexpected injury to the foot
