Rheumatoid Arthritis Foot Care/Treatment

The Chiropodists at Think Feet Family Foot Clinic, in Orillia, treat and care for rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease that affects both children and adults. It can cause changes to bones, and the positioning of joints, ligaments, and tendons.  

The feet may swell, resulting in severe pain during an acute episode. Depending on the specific type of rheumatoid arthritis, treatments vary.

The main concern of treatment is to prevent skin breakdown and decrease pain while walking. Assistance with the feet’s structural changes may also be involved.
