Getting to the Root of Your Foot or Ankle Pain
If you’ve been living with foot or ankle pain, don’t keep waiting for it to go away. Many patients put off care and are unsure of where to start or assume the pain will pass. Instead of living with pain, our team makes it easy to get the answers you need, quickly and comfortably.
Our diagnostic process is designed to put you at ease and help you feel informed every step of the way. Here’s what to expect when you visit:
- A Thoughtful Conversation: We begin with a comprehensive review of your health history, symptoms, and lifestyle so we can understand not just where it hurts, but how it’s affecting your daily life.
- Hands-On Evaluation: Your provider will perform a physical exam and, when appropriate, observe your gait (how you walk) to identify movement patterns that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction.
- On-Site Imaging: Many NES locations offer same-day X-rays, so you won’t need to travel or wait for outside referrals to get the full picture.
- Answers, Not Delays: We know your time matters. That’s why we offer same-day diagnostic care at most of our Portland-area clinics.
Our goal is simple: to provide clear answers and personalized next steps so you can move forward with confidence. Book your podiatrist appointment today for fast answers and expert care.
Podiatry Treatments for Foot & Ankle Pain Relief
We offer a full range of podiatry procedures tailored to your unique needs, from conservative therapies to advanced surgical care. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, a recent injury, or a stubborn skin condition, our team will guide you through your options and recommend the most effective path forward.
Conservative Treatments
At NES, we prioritize conservative treatments to relieve pain and restore mobility. Our doctors often recommend custom orthotics, supportive footwear modifications, and physical therapy to address structural issues, improve alignment, and strengthen the foot and ankle to help you get back on your feet without surgery whenever possible.
Office-Based Procedures
We offer gentle, in-office procedures to treat common foot concerns with minimal downtime. Services include ingrown toenail removal, wart treatment, and expert care for calluses and corns, all performed by experienced podiatrists in a clean and comfortable setting. Most treatments are quick, effective, and designed to get you back on your feet fast.
Advanced Care & Surgery
We provide advanced surgical care for complex foot and ankle issues, including bunion correction, hammertoe surgery, and fracture repair. Dr. Taylor Bunka also performs total ankle replacements for severe joint damage, working out of our West Linn office. Our team focuses on precision, minimally invasive techniques, and personalized recovery plans to help you heal confidently and comfortably.

Why Portland Patients Trust NES for Podiatry Care
Trusted Portland Podiatrists for Over 25 Years
Why does my heel hurt the most when I get out of bed in the morning?
Morning heel pain is often linked to plantar fasciitis, a common condition caused by inflammation in the foot’s arch. While stretching and shoe support can help, a podiatrist can provide lasting relief through treatments like orthotics, physical therapy, or advanced care options. Learn more about heel pain and plantar fasciitis on our Podiatry Conditions page.
Do I need a podiatrist or an orthopedist for foot pain?
It depends on your concern. Podiatrists are foot and ankle specialists trained to treat everything from skin and nail issues to complex injuries and surgery. At NES, we offer both podiatry care at our Tigard Oleson, Newberg, Milwaukie, Hoyt, Cedar Mill, Wilsonville, and West Linn locations. We also offer orthopedic care at our Tigard Locust location. This way, you’ll always be connected with the right expert.
Can a podiatrist help with broken toes or foot fractures?
Yes. Podiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat foot and ankle fractures. NES provides on-site imaging and offers both conservative care (casting, bracing) and surgical repair when needed, meaning you won’t have to go elsewhere for answers or treatment.
How long should I wait before seeing a podiatrist for foot or ankle pain?
If your pain lasts more than a few days, interferes with walking, or keeps coming back, it’s best to see a podiatrist. Early treatment can prevent problems from getting worse and get you back on your feet faster. NES offers same- and next-day appointments whenever possible.
