Warts
Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes your body to mistakenly attack your joints in the same way it would fight off an infection. This causes inflammation in your joints that inhibits their mobility. If not treated, the inflammation can eventually cause the cartilage in your joints to break down, causing significant pain and further inhibiting your mobility.
Plantar Fasciitis
Shockwave therapy or sound wave therapy is used primarily to treat soft tissue conditions like plantar fasciitis. If you have this condition or another heel condition, and our podiatrist recommends this particular treatment, you’ll be happy to know that it is effective about 80% of the time. It’s an efficient alternative to surgery, as no anesthesia is needed and you can go about your normal daily activities after this outpatient treatment. If you receive shockwave therapy in Bethesda, MD, and Springfield, VA, you can expect treatment to be fast so that you can get back to your life quickly.
Diabetic Foot Care
A podiatrist experienced in diabetic foot care will thoroughly examine your feet at each appointment, noting any changes in their condition and implementing a customized treatment plan designed specifically for your feet and circumstances. Even if you have not noticed any changes, please ensure that you are seen by our podiatrist on a regular basis. Prevention is the key to avoiding foot problems related to diabetes.

Ultrasound
Our foot and ankle specialists see heel pain patients every day. We go beyond the standard treatment and use advanced techniques such as ultrasound guidance for steroid injections to improve accuracy and reduce discomfort from the procedure.
MRI
The ultrasound machine does not cause pain and it stays outside the body. It is safe and costs much less than CAT scans or MRI tests. Because it does not give off radiation or magnetization, pregnant moms or people wearing pacemakers can safely have the test.
Radiology
Digital radiology has revolutionized podiatric care over the past decade. Digital x-rays in Bethesda, MD, and Springfield, VA, allow our podiatrists to take and magnify an image of your foot with crystal clear details that enable them to tell stress fractures apart from other abnormalities. It ensures a proper diagnosis of painful foot and ankle conditions with the ability to view this immediately in the office.
X-Rays

Ankle Surgery
With over 250,000 lives transformed since 1980, I have extensive experience helping our patients with all foot, ankle, and heel conditions. I am Board Certified in foot and ankle surgery and committed to offering the highest quality podiatric care available to all our patients.
Bunion Surgery
Typically, bunion surgery is performed in an outpatient setting under sedation and takes about an hour. Most people can walk on the foot within three days with the use of a protective cast or shoe. The majority of our patients surprisingly experience little pain following surgery.
Bunions
The answer is an unequivocal MAYBE! With decades of combined bunion experience, we’ve seen deformities of all sizes and symptoms. Not all bunions are physically painful. Some bunions cause no problems whatsoever whereas others can cause significant psychological problems for fear of showing that dreaded bump at the beach.
Ingrown Toenails
We treat athletes of all ages, including children and teenagers. High school athletes can be prone to many foot and ankle injuries that can cause long-term problems if left untreated. From ankle sprains and fractures in basketball to ingrown toenails in soccer players, we are here to help. Don’t get sidelined by a foot or ankle injury for which we can offer you a simple solution.

Corns
Hammertoes, also called claw or mallet toes, refer to toes that are bent in an unnatural way. The offending toe or toes will begin to bend upward and, over time, can become stiff and unbendable. This stiffness can cause you discomfort and pain, creating corns and blisters where your toe rubs against your shoe. They are named after their resemblance to the hammers in a piano.
Cyst
Calluses
Did you know that the gear you use on your feet and ankles can help or harm you? What are the right shoes for you? What do all of the terms and technology in athletic shoes really mean – minimalist, trail running, motion control? What about insoles and orthotics? Do they work, and how? What about ankle braces – do they help or hurt you? Even socks can have an impact, but how?
Fungus
Lesions
Plantar warts are small lesions that usually appear on the heels or other weight-bearing areas of your feet. Plantar warts are caused by a virus (HPV). The virus enters your body through tiny cuts, breaks, or other weak spots on the bottom of your feet.

Sports Medicine
Dr. Matthews is a southern California native, and grew up an avid surfer and snowboarder. He completed his residency with the Harvard Medical School at Mount Auburn Hospital, where he also served is clinical faculty in the Harvard Medical School. After residency Dr. Matthews pursued further training at the elite Weil Foot and Ankle Advanced Surgical Reconstructive Fellowship in Chicago, where he further honed his sports medicine and minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Physical Therapy
Studies have shown that MLS Laser Therapy is equal to or more effective than other forms of physical therapy. These studies were performed at multiple prestigious institutions, including Harvard University.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
The most common cause of ankle instability is an ankle sprain that wasn’t allowed to heal properly. When you sprain your ankle, your ligaments can be stretched or even torn. When those ligaments don’t get repaired, the result is an ankle that struggles to support your weight. If you have suffered multiple sprains over a period of time, this can exacerbate your condition even further.

General Podiatry
From our offices in Bethesda and Springfield, The Podiatry Center provides comprehensive foot and ankle care. We proudly service patients from...
Ankle Instability
While our team is highly trained in surgery for ankle correction, we believe strongly that surgery should always be a last resort after more conservative treatments have been tried. In the case of ankle instability, there are a number of nonsurgical methods our doctors may first recommend, including ankle wraps, anti-inflammatory medications, or an ankle brace. If you do end up needing surgery for a torn ligament or excessively damaged ligament, then you can rest easy knowing you’re in the hands of the best ankle surgeons in the area.
Ankle Sprain
The Podiatry Center can help you navigate these complex choices to make the right selections for you. If you have a sports-related foot or ankle injury or just want to increase your speed and stamina, make an appointment today. We have the same technology right in our podiatry offices that professional athletes enjoy, such as shockwave therapy. We know how to make your feet work smarter, not harder!
Bunions Problems
Often, bunions develop from faulty foot mechanics that we inherit. Yes, you can thank someone in your family tree for passing down the foot structure that results in a bunion. Bunions are the result of an instability in your foot that allows one muscle to gain an advantage over another, causing the big toe to drift towards the smaller toes. Because many women’s shoes are narrow and often pointed, this further aggravates the problem.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
As podiatrists who specialize in diabetic foot care, we take the treatment of your diabetic feet seriously. The sooner you come to us with a concern, the sooner we can address it and help you work toward optimal foot health.
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
Hammertoes
A toe begins to curl in when the muscles contract. This contraction of the muscle can be caused by many things, but the most common causes of hammertoes are...
Heel Spurs
Heel pain is typically the result of an overuse injury called plantar fasciitis – more commonly known as heel spur syndrome. A bone spur is not always present and when it is, 99% of the time it doesn’t actually cause pain. The pain is the result of inflammation of the plantar fascia – a strong ligament that runs from your heel to your toes.
Heel Pain
Heel pain is one of the more common and painful foot conditions our expert podiatrists treat. The tricky thing about heel pain is that many of the causes of pain in your heel mimic each other. If your podiatrist does not identify the correct problem, they could be wasting your time and your money; worst of all, they could be doing more harm than good. This is why it is so important that you take the time to find the best podiatrists to diagnose and treat your heel pain. If you have heel pain, contact The Podiatry Center for experienced heel pain treatment in Bethesda, MD, and Springfield, VA.
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
Dr. Ross was very reassuring and did a great, painless job on two ingrown toenails. We're really grateful and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone with foot and ankle-related issues.
Pediatric Foot Care
Sever’s disease – growth plate inflammation in the heel – is the most common of pediatric foot conditions, especially if your child is active in sports. With this condition, your child may complain about pain in the heel during and after a game or practice.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis — inflammation of the plantar fascia — is a major cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia is the band of muscle that connects your heel bone to the front of your foot. When this muscle becomes inflamed, it can cause severe heel pain that worsens when you walk. Although plantar fasciitis is a main cause of heel pain, there are many other conditions that can cause heel pain as well.
Podiatric Surgery
Metatarsal foot surgery can be performed on arthritic joints, depending on the severity of the injury. Our podiatrist will help determine if this is the right option for you.
