Foot & Ankle Services

Expert treatment across five specialties — from advanced bunion surgery to pediatric care and custom orthotics.

Surgical Treatments

Advanced techniques for lasting correction of foot deformities

Bunion Surgery — Advanced 3D Correction

Dr. Forni specializes in two leading bunion procedures offering superior outcomes over traditional methods: triplane correction and metatarsal fusion techniques that address the root cause of bunion deformity, not just the bump.

The Bunion Slide
Minimal Incision · 3D Triplane
Lapiplasty®
3D Triplane Technology

Bunion Surgery (Bunionectomy)

Correction of hallux abducto valgus (bunion) deformity using the most appropriate technique for your anatomy and severity.

Lapiplasty® Bunion Correction

A 3D triplane correction using new Lapidus metatarsal-cuneiform fusion technology — addresses the root cause for more durable results.

Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery

"The Bunion Slide" — a minimal incision, triplane 3D correction allowing faster recovery and less tissue disruption.

Foot & Ankle Surgery — What to Expect

Dr. Forni will walk you through every aspect of your surgical experience — preparation, procedure, recovery, and what pain management to expect.

Heel & Foot Pain

Diagnosis and treatment for all sources of heel, arch, and forefoot pain

Plantar Fasciitis

The most common cause of heel pain — inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament. Treated with a range of conservative and advanced options.

Heel Spurs

Bony growths on the underside of the heel bone, often associated with plantar fasciitis. Treated medically and surgically when needed.

Haglund's Deformity

A bony enlargement on the back of the heel ("pump bump") causing pain and bursitis, especially with certain footwear.

Ankle Instability

Chronic weakness or "giving way" of the ankle, often following repeated sprains. Treated with bracing, therapy, or surgical repair.

Big Toe Pain — Hallux Valgus

Pain, stiffness, and deformity of the big toe joint. Includes hallux rigidus and bunion-related conditions.

Morton's Neuroma

A thickening of nerve tissue between the toes causing sharp, burning pain in the ball of the foot. Treated with injections, orthotics, or surgery.

Skin & Nail Conditions

Treatment for infections, growths, and nail disorders of the feet

Ingrown Toenails

Painful nails that grow into surrounding skin. Safe, effective treatment for children and adults including infected cases (paronychia).

Fungal Toenails (Onychomycosis)

Thickened, discolored, or brittle nails caused by fungal infection. Treated with topical, oral, or laser-assisted approaches.

Thick Toenails (Onychogryphosis)

Abnormally thickened, curved nails often caused by trauma or systemic conditions. Professional trimming and ongoing management.

Corns & Calluses

Hardened skin buildup from friction or pressure. Safely removed in-office and managed with footwear and padding recommendations.

Warts (Verruca)

Dr. Forni uses a rapid "shaving" technique for plantar wart removal — one of the fastest and most effective treatment approaches available.

Molluscum Contagiosum

A viral skin condition that may resemble warts on the feet. Properly diagnosed and treated to prevent spread.

Pediatric Foot Care

Gentle, family-oriented care for children's foot and ankle conditions

Flat Feet in Children

Evaluation and treatment of pediatric flat foot — from observation and orthotics to surgical correction when appropriate.

Heel Pain in Children (Sever's Disease)

Inflammation of the heel growth plate common in active children ages 8–14. Treated with rest, stretching, and supportive devices.

Pediatric Foot & Ankle Conditions

Comprehensive care for all pediatric foot concerns — ingrown toenails, warts, gait abnormalities, sports injuries, and developmental issues.

Orthotics & Preventative Care

Custom devices and guidance to keep you moving pain-free

Custom Orthotics

Biomechanically configured, custom-made foot and arch supports designed to relieve pain and correct structural problems — often avoiding the need for surgery.

Biomechanical Foot Analysis

A thorough evaluation of how your foot moves and bears weight, identifying structural issues and informing the best treatment plan.

Shoe & Running Recommendations

Expert guidance on footwear selection for everyday use, athletic activity, and specific conditions — including basic running shoe guidelines.
