(406) 256-0077When Flat Feet Need More Than Orthotics
Flat feet are a biomechanical problem that can cause pain throughout the lower body. Accurate evaluation starts with a direct examination by a board-certified foot and ankle specialist.
When surgical reconstruction is indicated, our surgeons perform it at Northern Rocky Surgery Center. We are equipped to perform any foot or ankle procedure permitted in Montana, from tendon repairs through complex multi-joint reconstructions. Post-op rehabilitation is coordinated with our in-house physical therapy team, who work alongside our surgeons every day.
Pain-free is not healed. Healed is not strong. We stay with you until you are back to what you want to do.
Orthotics, Therapy, and Reconstruction
Conservative Care First
We start with the least invasive effective treatment. The right approach depends on what you actually have, which is why we examine you first. Many people have flat feet that cause no pain and need no treatment. We won't push intervention when it's not needed.
In-House Physical Therapy
Our in-house PT team works under the same roof as our surgeons every day. They already know our protocols and communicate directly with your doctor throughout your care.
Reconstructive Surgery When Indicated
When surgery is indicated, our board-certified surgeons perform flatfoot reconstruction at Northern Rocky Surgery Center, which may include posterior tibial tendon repair or transfer, calcaneal osteotomy, lateral column lengthening, or selective joint fusion depending on the case. These are complex procedures that require an experienced surgical team.
Your Flatfoot Assessment
You sit down with a board-certified foot and ankle specialist. We take a thorough history, perform a direct examination including gait analysis, and take imaging if indicated.
You leave with a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan matched to your case. That plan may be as simple as custom orthotics or as involved as surgical reconstruction. Whatever is actually appropriate for your feet. No pressure, no upselling.
