Foot osteoarthritis is a degenerative process that causes progressive wear of the cartilage in the joints. It can appear due to aging, malformations, mechanical overload, or following trauma such as repeated sprains. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This condition frequently affects the big toe, although it can appear in any joint and even involve the ankle. At Pie Vital, we perform a podiatric assessment to relieve pain, improve function, and slow the progression of the disease through personalized conservative treatment. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Joint Assessment<\/h4>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n

We analyze joint mobility, the presence of stiffness, mechanical pain, and biomechanical alterations that may be accelerating cartilage wear.<\/p>\n

Foot osteoarthritis progresses slowly and can cause stiffness, pain when starting to walk, and functional limitation. Podiatric treatment reduces overload on affected joints and promotes a more efficient and less painful gait pattern. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
