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 Jenna K
The whole experience here at the ronkonkoma office was really above and beyond. The secretary was so sweet and kind. I had my 11 month old daughter with me which I know isn’t always fun to have a baby in the office. It was the opposite here. A chair was given to the baby and we were really welcomed beautifully. Dr T was so kind and knowledgeable and took his time with me explaining every question I had for him. My feet haven’t felt this good in years. I will absolutely be back!

Patient Testimonial by Kim M
Took my son here due to a wart on his food. Being that my son has autism, he gets nervous at some Dr appointments. I knew he would be at ease because the Dr is very calm and mellow. Even the music that is played in the office is soothing. I had gone for my heel spur so was familiar with the office. The woman that worked at the desk was very pleasant, too. Looking forward to my son's next visit at the end of the month.
