Ritchie Brace
Do you have flat feet? I mean severe flat feet? Are you one of those people who have to rest after just a few minutes at the mall? Do your feet roll in towards one another? Then you might be a candidate for a Ritchie Brace.
Come visit us at Surprise Foot and Ankle and we'll evaluate your feet. We'll take x-rays, look at how your feet look when you are standing, when you are walking and talk about how much pain you are in. We may want to start with Physical Therapy, we may do that along with prescribing a Ritchie Brace, or we may decide that surgery is the answer to your pain.
Don't live in pain, don't cancel trips to the mall or museum, come visit us at Surprise Foot and Ankle and let's work together to get you back walking and enjoying yourself!

Foot Pain
Many people have foot pain! The first thing to do is to see your doctor. The largest problem that we see in our office is patients waiting too long to get care. We all worry about what could be wrong with us. There is nothing more stress relieving then finding out exactly what is wrong, and that it can be fixed!
Our office offers a variety of services! We do on site x-rays, diagnositic ultrasound, neruosensory testing, vascular testing and have a great staff!
We offer wound care, surgical care, custom orthtoics, custom braces and shoes, diabetic shoes, diabetic foot care, and care of all conditions of the feet.
