At  Alliance Orthopedics, our board-certified foot and ankle specialists in Freehold, NJ, provide advanced, patient-centered treatments designed to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and enhance long-term foot care and ankle health.

Whether you’re dealing with sports injuries, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, or fractures, our team is committed to getting you back on your feet.

Common Foot & Ankle Conditions We Treat

Our practice in Freehold, New Jersey, specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including:

Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain

It’s one of the most common causes of heel pain and occurs when the thick band of tissue at the bottom of the foot becomes inflamed, leading to stabbing pain in the heel.

Arthritis in the Foot and Ankle

Arthritis can affect the foot and ankle joints, causing stiffness, swelling, and chronic pain. Over time, it can limit movement and impact daily activities.

Fractures & Sports Injuries

A  fracture in the foot or ankle can result from sports injuries, falls, or accidents. The common symptoms include swelling, severe pain, bruising, and difficulty bearing weight.

Achilles Tendonitis & Ruptures

Achilles tendonitis occurs when the Achilles tendon becomes inflamed due to overuse, leading to pain and stiffness in the back of the ankle. If left untreated, it can lead to a tendon rupture, which may require ankle surgery

Ankle Sprains & Chronic Instability

An  ankle sprain happens when the ligaments in the ankle are stretched or torn, which causes pain, swelling, and instability.

Advanced Diagnostic Techniques for Accurate Treatment

Proper diagnosis is critical to effective treatment. At Alliance Orthopedics in Freehold, we use state-of-the-art imaging and assessment tools to get a clear picture of your condition:

• Digital X-rays – If you have a fracture, joint damage, or structural abnormality, we can spot it quickly with high-quality X-rays. This helps us create a treatment plan that actually works for you.
• MRI & Ultrasound Imaging – Some injuries don’t show up on an X-ray, especially soft tissue problems like ligament tears or inflammation. That’s where MRIs and ultrasounds come in, giving us a detailed view of what’s happening inside.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Foot & Ankle Pain

Not every foot and ankle condition needs surgery. Most patients find relief through non-surgical treatments that help reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed up recovery.

Alliance Orthopedics is conveniently located in Freehold and focuses on minimally invasive, effective solutions before considering surgical options.

Here are some of the non-surgical treatments we offer:

Physical Therapy

Movement is medicine, and  physical therapy  is often the key to healing foot and ankle injuries. Whether you’re dealing with plantar fasciitis, arthritis, or a fracture, our dedicated doctors create custom rehab programs to strengthen the muscles that support your foot and ankle and prevent future injuries.

Custom Orthotics & Bracing

Sometimes, your foot pain isn’t just from an injury – it could be how you walk. Custom orthotics and bracing help patients by providing proper arch support for plantar fasciitis and aligning joints to relieve arthritis pain.

Injection Therapy for Pain Relief

When pain is keeping you from moving, we offer targeted injections to help reduce inflammation and promote healing. These may include  cortisone injections to reduce swelling and pain in conditions like arthritis and plantar fasciitis.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy focuses on improving strength, flexibility, and coordination to help you regain function and independence. Whether you need support for work-related movements or day-to-day tasks, our therapists design personalized plans tailored to your needs.

Gait and Balance Training

Improper gait and balance issues can contribute to chronic foot and ankle pain. Our specialists analyze your movement patterns and develop  customized gait and balance training programs to improve your biomechanics, reduce strain on your joints, and prevent future injuries. This therapy is particularly beneficial for older adults and individuals recovering from foot or ankle injuries.

TenJet – A Minimally Invasive Solution

TenJet is an innovative therapy that uses high-pressure saline to remove damaged tendon tissue while preserving healthy tissue. It’s an excellent option for patients suffering from Achilles tendinitis or plantar fasciitis who haven’t responded to traditional treatments. Patients often experience pain relief immediately, with continued improvement over 4-12 weeks.

Surgical Treatment Options for Foot & Ankle Pain

When non-surgical treatments aren’t enough to relieve foot and ankle pain, surgery may be the best option. The treatments include:

Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery

Bunions are painful, bony bumps that form on the side of the foot, making it difficult to wear shoes or walk comfortably. Our minimally invasive bunion surgery corrects the misalignment of the big toe joint, reducing pain and improving mobility.

Deformity Correction

Structural deformities in the foot and ankle can cause pain, instability, and mobility issues. We provide deformity reconstructive surgery to realign bones and soft tissues, restoring proper function.

Ankle Arthroscopy

If you have chronic ankle pain, ligament injuries, or arthritis, ankle arthroscopy may be the best option. Our doctors perform this minimally invasive procedure using a small camera and specialized instruments to repair damage inside the ankle joint.

Fracture Surgery

A severe foot or ankle fracture may require surgical intervention to ensure proper healing and prevent long-term complications. Our fracture surgery realigns broken bones and stabilizes them with plates, screws, or pins.

Total Ankle Replacement

For patients with severe arthritis, a total ankle replacement may be the best solution. This procedure replaces the damaged ankle joint with an artificial implant, reducing pain and restoring movement.

Tendon Repair Surgery

Torn or damaged tendons in the foot and ankle can lead to pain, weakness, and instability. Tendon repair surgery restores normal function by reconnecting or reinforcing the damaged tendon.
