Foot and Ankle Arthritis Treatment

Reduce Pain, Restore Mobility, and Manage Joint Health

Arthritis can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in your feet and ankles. At Cortez Foot & Ankle Specialists, we offer effective, individualized treatment to help manage symptoms, preserve joint function, and improve your quality of life.


Arthritis is a progressive condition caused by joint inflammation. It may result from wear and tear (osteoarthritis), autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis), past injuries (post-traumatic arthritis), or conditions like gout. Symptoms often include swelling, tenderness, stiffness, and pain during activity. Early diagnosis and care are essential to slow progression and avoid long-term complications.


We offer comprehensive evaluations and a range of treatments including lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, orthotics, braces, and corticosteroid injections. For more advanced cases, surgical options such as joint fusion or total joint replacement may be recommended. Our in-office surgery center in Bradenton makes treatment more accessible and efficient.


We welcome patients at our Bradenton, University Park, and Ellenton, Florida locations.
