Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Stress fractures are subtle breaks in weight-bearing bones of the foot and lower leg that occur from overuse, abnormal repeated stress from faulty shoe gear or abnormal biomechanics, weakened bone from an underlying disease. Stress fractures are most common in very active individuals and athletes, but can also occur in the non-athlete due to the weakening of bone (osteoporosis). Osteoporosis is secondary to vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and lack of weight bearing exercise over time. Some conditions that can weaken the bone include, not limited to, chronic liver disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, digestive conditions, endocrine gland diseases.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that extends from the heel to the toes. In this condition, the fascia first becomes irritated and then inflamed, resulting in heel pain.
Medical Weight Loss
- Weight loss - If you are overweight, try to lose weight. Putting too much weight on your arches may aggravate your symptoms.
Nutritional Counseling
Prevention of stress fractures is imperative with nutritional counseling, proper shoe gear and slow return to training for athletes following the 10% rule
Primary Care
Many insurance companies are again requiring referrals from your primary care physician in order to see a specialist. Please familiarize yourself with your insurance company's requirements. Should you have a plan that requires a referral, please be prepared to provide the Referral number, number of visits authorized, and the expiration date of the referral when calling for your appointment. Referrals must be in place prior to scheduling an appointment.
Emergency Care
The structure of the foot is complex, consisting of bones, muscles, tendons and other soft tissues. Of the 28 bones in the foot, 19 are toe bones (phalanges) and metatarsal bones (the long bones in the midfoot). Fractures of the toe and metatarsal bones are common and require evaluation by a specialist. A foot and ankle surgeon should be seen for proper diagnosis and treatment, even if initial treatment has been received in an emergency room.
Diabetic Foot Care

Ultrasound
MRI
An acute fracture is often diagnosed with a physical examination and x-rays. A stress fracture can be diagnosed with a thorough examination and not always seen on x-rays especially early on when the symptoms start. MRI study is ordered when necessary to help confirm the presence of stress fracture.
X-Rays

Orthopedics
Wound Care
Bunions
Arthritis, Symptoms include joint pain, joint swelling, joint redness, joint enlargement, reduced motion and joint stiffness. This condition can affect any part of the foot including toes, mid foot, hind foot and can also affect the ankle. Bunions, toe deformities, and joint enlargements may be manifestations of arthritis. There are many types of arthritis including, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis, psoriatic arthritis. Arthritis can affect the function of the foot and ankle. Early diagnosis is important, as destruction of the cartilage is not reversible, and condition can progress and the bone can be damaged as well. Our goal is to diagnose, review preventative care efforts, guide treatment to control pain, reduce inflammation and preserve joint function and allow you to maintain mobility. We are comprehensive in our review of all conservative treatment efforts including shoe gear, inserts, orthotics, guide medication options, and option of orthobiologic injections ( PRP and amniotic fluid injections). If your condition is more advanced and condition persists despite treatment efforts we offer surgery as well.

Corns
Common symptoms of hammertoes include: Pain to the affected toe, Corns (a buildup of skin), between two toes or on the ball of the foot. Corns are caused by constant friction against the shoe. Joint inflammation. Redness. In more severe cases an ulceration or infection can form as a result of excessive rubbing in shoes or when walking.
Cyst
Calluses
Padding corns and calluses: Your foot and ankle surgeon can provide or prescribe pads designed to shield corns from irritation. Skin lesions may need to be addressed by your podiatrist with simple debridement techniques which can often provide tremendous relief. Do avoid medicated pads as they are generally not recommended because they may contain a small amount of acid that can be harmful.

Physical Therapy
- Early physical therapy Your doctor will start you on a rehabilitation program as soon as possible to promote healing and increase your range of motion. This includes doing prescribed exercises.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain is an injury to one or more ligaments in the ankle, usually on the outside of the ankle. Ligaments are bands of tissue-like rubber bands-that connect one bone to another and bind the joints together. In the ankle joint, ligaments provide stability by limiting side-to-side movement. Some ankle sprains are much worse than others. The severity of an ankle sprain depends on whether the ligament is stretched, partially torn or completely torn, as well as on the number of ligaments involved. Ankle sprains are not the same as strains, which affect muscles rather than ligaments.
Back Pain
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

General Podiatry
Dr. Christina Weber is board certified in foot surgery with extensive experience and training in podiatric medicine and surgery. She has been practicing Colorado since 1994 and her practice specialties include sports medicine, podiatric dermatology, geriatric foot and ankle conditions, pediatric issues, orthotics and foot surgery.
Ankle Instability
We use orthotics to treat foot problems such as arch pain, heel pain ankle pain, foot fatigue, ankle instability, collapsed arches, shin splints, painful forefoot deformities and pain in the ball of the foot. Clinical research studies have repeatedly shown that podiatrist-prescribed foot orthotics decrease foot and ankle pain and improve function.
Ankle Sprain
- A more severe ankle injury may have occurred along with the sprain. This might include a serious bone fracture that, if left untreated, could lead to troubling complications.
Bunions Problems
Flatfoot is often a complex disorder, with diverse symptoms and varying degrees of deformity and disability. There are several types of flatfoot, all of which have one characteristic in common: partial or total collapse (loss) of the arch. Other characteristics shared by most types of flatfoot include toe drift, in which the toes and front part of the foot point outward. The heel tilts toward the outside and the ankle appears to turn in. A tight Achilles tendon, which causes the heel to lift off the ground earlier when walking and may make the problem worse, bunions and hammertoes may develop as a result of a flatfoot.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Flat Feet
Common causes of hallux rigidus are faulty function (biomechanics) and structural abnormalities of the foot that can lead to joint degeneration in the big toe joint. This type of arthritis-is due to wear and tear-often develops in people who have defects that change the way their foot and big toe functions. Fallen arches or excessive pronation (rolling in) of the ankles are more prone to developing hallux rigidus. In some people, hallux rigidus runs in the family and is a result of inheriting a foot type that is prone to developing this condition. Hallux rigidus is also associated with overuse, especially among people participating in activities or jobs that increase the stress on the big toe. Hallux rigidus can also result from an injury, such as stubbing your toe known as "turf toe". Hallux rigidus may also be associated with inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout. Your foot and ankle surgeon can determine the cause of your hallux rigidus and recommend the best treatment.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a contracture (bending) deformity 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 pain, overlying skin changes and problems to develop.
Heel Spurs
Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation or, rarely, a cyst.

Plantar Fasciitis
Wearing non supportive footwear on hard, flat surfaces puts abnormal strain on the plantar fascia and can also lead to plantar fasciitis. This is particularly evident when one's job requires long hours on the feet. Obesity and overuse may also contribute to plantar fasciitis.
