Podiatry

Expert Foot and Ankle Care in Washington, Indiana

From bunions to fractures, foot and ankle problems can affect your mobility, comfort, and independence. At Daviess Community Hospital, our podiatry services—offered in partnership with Tri-State Orthopaedics—include both non-surgical and surgical treatment options for a wide range of conditions.

Whether you're dealing with a sports injury, chronic heel pain, or a structural issue that may require reconstructive surgery, our team is here to help you get back on your feet—with expert care, close to home.

Conditions We Treat

Podiatry encompasses both the medical and surgical management of conditions that affect the foot, ankle, and lower leg. Our team provides thorough evaluation and treatment for:

• Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
• Bunions and hammer toes
• Flatfoot and high-arched foot issues
• Achilles tendonitis and tendon tears
• Ankle sprains and instability
• Foot and ankle fractures
• Arthritis and joint degeneration
• Diabetic foot ulcers and wounds
• Sports-related injuries
• Ingrown toenails and nail disorders
• Cysts, soft tissue lesions, and neuromas

If you’re experiencing pain, stiffness, weakness, or changes in your gait or balance, our specialists can help determine whether conservative care or surgical intervention is the best path forward.

Comprehensive Podiatric Care — Including Surgery

At DCH, we take a patient-centered approach to foot and ankle care. Many conditions can be managed without surgery, and we start with the least invasive methods first. These may include:

• Custom orthotics and supportive bracing
• Corticosteroid or regenerative medicine injections (such as PRP)
• Offloading and immobilization
• Diabetic foot care and wound prevention
• Physical therapy referrals for strength, balance, and flexibility

When surgery is needed, we offer access to advanced procedures for:

• Trauma and fracture repair
• Flatfoot reconstruction and correction
• Bunionectomy and hammertoe correction
• Ligament and tendon repair
• Joint fusion for arthritic conditions
• Removal of growths or cysts affecting function or footwear comfort

We understand that every foot is different. That’s why we tailor every treatment plan—whether surgical or nonsurgical—to your lifestyle, goals, and long-term mobility needs.
