Long-term mobility and pain management

FOOT AND ANKLE SPECIALITY

Foot and ankle conditions require specialised care because they directly affect balance, posture, walking, and everyday function. Dr. Pawar has developed focused expertise in managing disorders involving the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues of the foot and ankle.

He treats a broad spectrum of conditions ranging from heel pain and sports injuries to complex deformities, ankle arthritis, diabetic foot complications, and trauma-related injuries.

His treatment philosophy prioritises joint preservation, pain relief, functional recovery, and improved mobility, helping patients return confidently to work, sports, and everyday activities.

SPORTS INJURY AND ANKLE CARE

Sports-related foot and ankle injuries are among the most common orthopaedic problems affecting active individuals. Dr. Pawar manages a wide range of ankle sprains, ligament injuries, tendon disorders, stress injuries, and sports-related trauma, helping athletes and active patients recover safely and return to activity.

His approach combines precise diagnosis, structured rehabilitation, and advanced treatment protocols to reduce recurrence and improve long-term joint stability.

DIABETIC FOOT CARE

Patients with diabetes are at increased risk of foot ulcers, infections, and complications affecting mobility. Dr. Pawar provides specialised care for diabetic foot conditions, focusing on early diagnosis, wound management, ulcer care, infection prevention, and limb preservation strategies.

Timely treatment and preventive foot care are critical in avoiding complications and improving long-term outcomes.

DEFORMITY CORRECTION AND RECONSTRUCTION

Dr. Pawar also treats various foot and ankle deformities, including structural abnormalities that affect walking, posture, comfort, and footwear use.

His treatment approach includes both non-surgical and surgical options depending on the severity of deformity, pain, and functional limitation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What causes heel pain and plantar fasciitis?
Heel pain is commonly caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition involving inflammation of the thick tissue band supporting the foot arch. It often results from prolonged standing, obesity, improper footwear, excessive activity, or strain. Early treatment with exercises, footwear correction, medication, or therapy can provide significant relief.
While mild ankle sprains may improve with rest, swelling, severe pain, repeated twisting, difficulty walking, or persistent instability should be evaluated by a specialist. Untreated ligament injuries can lead to chronic ankle weakness and recurring sprains.
Yes. Many conditions such as plantar fasciitis, mild arthritis, ankle sprains, and some deformities can be successfully managed with medication, physiotherapy, footwear modifications, braces, injections, and rehabilitation. Surgery is considered only when conservative treatment is unsuccessful or when the condition is severe.
Diabetic foot refers to foot complications caused by diabetes, including ulcers, infections, nerve damage, and poor circulation. If left untreated, diabetic foot problems can become serious and may lead to severe infections or amputation. Early treatment and regular foot care are extremely important.
Yes. Flatfoot treatment depends on the severity and symptoms. Mild cases may improve with customised footwear, physiotherapy, and arch supports, while severe or painful deformities may require surgical correction.
Great toe deformities commonly include bunions or abnormal alignment of the big toe that causes pain, swelling, difficulty wearing footwear, or walking problems. Treatment options range from footwear modifications to corrective surgery.
Avascular necrosis (AVN) occurs when blood supply to the ankle bone is reduced, leading to bone damage and joint pain. Early diagnosis is important to preserve joint function and reduce long-term complications.
Yes. Dr. Pawar specialises in managing sports-related foot and ankle injuries, including ligament tears, ankle sprains, tendon injuries, overuse injuries, and rehabilitation for safe return to activity.
Persistent pain, swelling, difficulty walking, deformity, repeated ankle twisting, numbness, ulcers, or symptoms lasting more than a few weeks should be assessed by a foot and ankle specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Yes. Mild ingrown toenails may improve with proper nail care and medication, while recurring or painful cases may require a minor procedure to permanently prevent recurrence.
