Gout can lead to pain, sensitivity, or changes in the way you walk. Care begins with understanding the underlying cause and finding an approach that supports comfortable movement.

Treatment Options

Treatment focuses on controlling the acute inflammatory flare, protecting the painful joint, and coordinating long-term uric acid management when appropriate.

Preventing Recurrence

Patients with repeated attacks may benefit from medication management and lifestyle changes coordinated with their primary care physician or other treating clinician.

When to Seek Care

Evaluation is recommended for sudden severe joint pain, redness, warmth, and swelling, especially when the diagnosis has not been confirmed.

Schedule an appointment with Dr. Neville for evaluation of sudden foot or ankle joint pain.
