The human foot may not look like much from the outside but, with 52 bones, 66 joints, and countless nerves, blood vessels, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, it's actually one of the body's most complicated structures. When all of the intricate components inside the foot work in concert as they should, it allows for the complex movements needed for motion and balance.

Together, the feet and ankles create an impressive biomechanical structure that can speed you on your way to accomplish almost anything. Unfortunately, a number of common problems can occur in this complex structure—and if they do, they can cause pain or embarrassment and interfere with your activities. Fortunately, when foot or ankle problems threaten to keep you from being active and doing the things you love, Advanced Foot Care is here to help.

The Woodlands Foot and Ankle Experts

Our premier podiatry practice has served The Woodlands and surrounding communities since 1993, providing gentle and trusted foot and ankle care for patients of all ages. Our knowledgeable specialists, Dr. Thomas Pignetti and Dr. Fernando Fernandez have extensive experience diagnosing and treating a broad range of podiatric issues. Here are some of the most common reasons patients see us.

Bunions

Caused when the position of the big toe shifts over time, bunions are a common type of foot deformity that can result in significant pain and embarrassment. Without proper treatment, the condition will continue to progress, potentially leading to complications like nerve damage, arthritis, and additional deformities. We offer a variety of effective treatment options, from conservative methods to advanced surgical procedures.

Nail Problems

Your toenails aren't just cosmetic; they can also be an indicator of poor foot health. Whether you're dealing with ingrown toenails, fungal toenails, black toenails, or an injury, we can help you resolve the condition so you can feel comfortable showing off your toes again.

Sports Injuries

Heel pain, Achilles tendonitis, foot and ankle sprains, and other podiatric sports injuries can cause you to miss out on the activities you enjoy. Our trusted podiatrists offer a number of treatment options to help you get back in the game.

Pain and Discomfort

Don't let foot, ankle, or heel pain get you down. We'll examine you to find the source of the problem, then work with you to develop a treatment solution that meets your needs and lifestyle.

Diabetic Foot Problems

Foot care is particularly important for patients with diabetes—and when it comes to diabetic foot care, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We'll teach you how to safely care for your feet to avoid common issues. Our doctors also provide expert treatment for diabetic foot wounds and other complications.
