Foot & Ankle Pain Conditions We Treat
Foot and ankle pain can develop from many different causes, including injuries, overuse, joint changes, tendon problems, and nerve irritation. At Pain Center of Rhode Island, we evaluate the underlying cause of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment approach based on your condition, activity level, and goals.
Tendon, Ligament, and Soft Tissue Injuries
Tendon and soft tissue problems can develop from repetitive stress, overuse, sports, sudden injuries, or gradual wear and tear. These conditions can affect the tissues that support movement and stability throughout the foot and ankle.
We commonly see patients with pain, stiffness, tenderness, swelling, or weakness that may interfere with walking, exercise, or everyday activities.
Common conditions we treat:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Achilles Tendinopathy and Achilles Tendon Pain
- Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)
- Retrocalcaneal Bursitis
- Ankle Sprains and Ligament Injuries
- Sports-Related Foot and Ankle Injuries
Foot & Ankle Joint Pain, Arthritis, and Degeneration
Problems affecting the joints of the foot and ankle can make walking and weight-bearing activities uncomfortable. Arthritis, previous injuries, repetitive stress, and age-related changes can contribute to joint pain and reduced mobility.
At Pain Center of Rhode Island, we assess your symptoms and identify the factors contributing to your joint pain before recommending an appropriate treatment plan.
Common conditions we treat:
- Osteoarthritis of the Foot and Ankle
- Foot Joint Pain
- Ankle Joint Pain
- Joint Degeneration
- Post-Injury Joint Pain
- Chronic Foot and Ankle Pain
Nerve Irritation, Compression, and Foot & Ankle Nerve Pain
Nerve-related foot and ankle conditions can cause burning, tingling, numbness, sensitivity, or shooting pain. These symptoms may develop when a nerve becomes compressed or irritated within the foot or around the ankle.
We evaluate the location and pattern of your symptoms to help determine whether nerve involvement may be contributing to your pain.
Common conditions we treat:
- Morton’s Neuroma
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
- Foot and Ankle Nerve Pain
- Nerve Compression and Irritation
- Burning or Tingling Foot Pain
- Numbness in the Foot or Ankle
Advanced Foot & Ankle Pain Treatments We Offer
Depending on your condition, we may recommend advanced therapies such as:
Cellular
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrated portion of your own blood.
We prepare the platelet-rich component and apply it to the targeted area to support the body’s natural tissue repair processes.
Cellular
We may use prolotherapy for selected ligament and soft-tissue conditions, including certain cases of ankle instability.
The treatment is designed to stimulate a localized healing response in the targeted tissue.
Regenerative
Bone Marrow Concentrate Therapy
Bone marrow concentrate therapy uses concentrated components obtained from your own bone marrow.
We may consider this regenerative approach for appropriate patients with certain tendon, ligament, joint, or soft-tissue problems.
Stimulant
Regenerative Medicine
Our regenerative medicine options are designed to support the body’s natural healing processes.
Depending on your diagnosis, we may use regenerative treatments as part of a personalized approach to managing tendon, ligament, joint, and other soft-tissue conditions affecting the foot and ankle.

“When I came to Dr. Cherubini I could barely walk. After having Stem Cell treatments, my knee pain vanished but my ligaments acted up (former dancer). Dr. Cherubini resolved all the problems and I am walking better now than a decade ago. The staff is knowledgeable and kind. I am so glad I found Dr. Cherubini.”
