Gout

Targeted Care for Gout Flares

Relief for Sudden Joint Pain and Inflammation

Gout is a painful form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, most often affecting the big toe. Flare-ups can appear suddenly, leading to intense pain, redness, swelling, and warmth in the affected area. Without proper management, gout attacks may become more frequent and cause long-term joint damage.

At Foot & Ankle Surgical Associates, we specialize in diagnosing and treating gout to reduce pain, inflammation, and recurrence. Our evaluation may include joint exams, lab testing, and imaging to confirm crystal buildup and assess the extent of inflammation. Treatment typically combines medication management, dietary and lifestyle recommendations, and in some cases, joint aspiration or injections to relieve pain quickly.

We also help patients identify triggers and implement preventive strategies to maintain healthy uric acid levels and avoid future flare-ups. Our goal is to restore comfort, protect joint health, and help you move with confidence, free from the pain of gout.
