Warts
Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is considered to be a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect many aspects of the body including your joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is considered to be an autoimmune disorder which occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body’s tissues including the joints, which causes the joint linings to swell and become painful.
Primary Care
Our physicians have treated immune-suppressed diabetic transplant patients at the UW Health University Hospital. This experience has allowed our physicians to treat some of the most complex diabetic foot problems like severe bone infections and Charcot fractures. We take pride in making sure our diabetic patients get the proper care they need by working with their referring providers to create a custom treatment plan; whether that be routine foot care, weekly wound care, or properly fitting them with custom diabetic shoes and inserts. Our staff will work closely with not only the patient but their Primary Care Physician and/or Endocrinologist as well to determine if diabetic shoes and inserts are the right course of treatment.

Corns
Corn and Calluses – These are caused by pressure and are the most common source of ulceration and infection. Since the pain they usually cause is markedly diminished by neuropathy, you have to look for them and have them treated before they cause problems. Never use over-the-counter preparations to remove corns and calluses or to treat ingrown nails. A podiatrist can treat these by trimming the callus and reducing the pressure with pads or devices inside your shoes. Lamb’s wool can prevent irritation between the toes.
Ulcer
A diabetic foot ulcer is a break/hole through the body’s outer protective layer, the skin. The most important factors in their forming include...
Calluses
Many studies have demonstrated that: 1) Most diabetic foot problems start with minor calluses, ingrown nails, shoe irritation, etc. than can be prevented. 2) Problems that are treated early are much more likely to improve.
Fungus
Nail fungus is a common condition that can begin as a discolored spot under the tip of your nail. A fungal infection can spread and affect other nails and cause your nails to become discolored, thickened and crumble at the edge.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Physical Therapy
We provide treatment for many different kinds of foot problems and utilize many types of treatment modalities including orthotics, physical therapy, foot tapings, medication and surgery. As much as possible, we try to exhaust conservative means of treatment first before resorting to surgical intervention. Some of the conditions we treat include...
Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain is a sports injury that occurs when the ankle rolls, twists, or turns in an abnormal way. This abnormal movement can cause a stretch or tear through the tough bands of tissue (ligaments) that help hold the ankle bones together. An ankle sprain can cause swelling, pain and limited range of motion.
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

General Podiatry
Our goal at University Podiatry Associates is to be the kind of podiatrists we’d like to go to if we had a foot problem ourselves. University Podiatry has been treating the feet of Madison and surrounding area since 1981. Our staff is dedicated to getting you to walk comfortably – with skill, experience and compassion.
Achilles Tendonitis
Ankle Sprain
Bunions Problems
A bunion is a deformity of the big toe joint. As the normally straight big toe starts to point in the direction of the little toe, a bump develops on the side of the foot. The same deformity can occur at the little toe joint. Then it’s called a Tailor’s bunion. The bump is often irritated by shoes and the big toe joint often aches. The big toe may even push the second toe into the top of the shoe until it is irritated too.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
The care of your feet is as important as diet, medication and exercise. Many complications of diabetes can be prevented if simple steps are taken.
Hammertoes
Toes are normally straight. A hammertoe is a common deformity in which one or more of the toes are held in a bent position at their joints. The skin thickens where the deformed toe hits the shoe. Painful corns and calluses often develop where the deformed toe hits the shoe.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are among the most common and painful of foot problems. An ingrown nail occurs when part of the nail pushes into the skin. The nail acts the same as any foreign body such as a dirty splinter would and creates swelling and local infection.
