Charcot Foot
Diabetes and Foot Issues
Charcot foot is a chronic foot condition that is found in situations that cause loss of sensation in the foot, most commonly diabetes.
As a result of the loss of sensation, the foot is unable to maintain its normal structure, and the bones of the foot and ankle collapse. The result is pain and inflammation. Over time, the bones and joints of the ankle can become damaged, and lead to chronic pain and ulcers on the feet.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of Charcot foot can be made on the basis of loss of normal shape and structure of the foot and ankle.
This can bee seen on physical exam, and demonstrated by X-ray or MRI.
Treatment
Ideally, the treatment of Charcot foot includes treatment of the underlying condition causing the loss of sensation. During acute pain, the foot can be immobilized and anti-inflammatory medication can be taken. Measures are taken to maintain the proper shape and weight bearing of the foot and ankle.
Without Treatment
As Charcot foot progresses, chronic ulcers can develop. These are painful and can lead to infection.

Patient Testimonial by ilene p
From the initial phone call to my office visit it was nothing but pleasant. The doctor took his time, spoke in layman's terms and explained everything fully. Love that it is not a "corporation" where you feel like a number rather than a person. Highly recommend this office if you like a "personal touch"!

Patient Testimonial by FERNANDA N
Recently moved to the area and your office came highly recommended by several people on the Ronkonkomom's FB group I joined. Their recommendation was spot on! You guys were great. My appointment was scheduled quickly. There was a wait but that is to be expected at doctor offices, it wasn't too bad. Dr. Taormino took his time with me as he did with the previous patient I had to wait for. He listened to me and examined my foot (x-rays done) and presented my options explaining with teaching models. Hoping my new orthotics arrives quickly and helps relieve my foot pain as it did years ago.
