Healing Your Foot Pain One Step at a Time
When you think about it, our feet are pretty amazing. For most, they're an unfaltering foundation - two shock absorbers we rely on daily to hold our weight and propel us through life. Comprised of dozens of bones and hundreds of ligaments, muscles, and tendons, the average person's feet take a fair beating every day - on average, people stand for about four hours every day and take around 5K steps as well. Because your feet are smaller than most other parts of your body, they endure an enormous impact with each step, adding up to hundreds of tons of weight daily.
Strangely, when our feet, ankles, or toes begin to hurt, we do our best to ignore the pain and push through the day. We even give up sports and outdoor activities that we love. Unfortunately, ignoring pain and delaying treatment will further damage your feet and, by proxy, your whole body.
If you're living with foot and ankle pain or have given up on fun activities like hiking and jogging, it's time to change. Why sacrifice a life full of outdoor activities in our beautiful part of the world when you can visit an expert podiatrist in Encinitas, CA?
Welcome to North County Foot and Ankle - where men and women just like you get new leases on life through some of the most advanced podiatric treatments available in California. With more than 50 years of combined experience treating a wide range of foot and ankle problems, our pioneering doctors have helped hundreds of people reclaim their love of walking, jogging, and life in general.

The North County Foot and Ankle Difference
What makes North County Foot and Ankle stand out from other foot and ankle doctors in Encinitas? Unlike some foot doctors, our podiatrists work with a client-first mentality. When you walk through our front doors, the time you spend in our office is all about you. We believe in a strong physician-patient relationship fortified by one-on-one attention and honest communication.
Before offering foot pain treatment options, we perform a thorough evaluation, taking into account your individual needs, goals, and preferences. Once that's done, we'll discuss your treatment options in detail and come to a mutual decision regarding the best treatment plan for you.
Whether you have a minor hangnail or need complex surgery, you will receive the same level of compassionate care from our medical team. As board-certified podiatrists in Encinitas, our doctors are proud to treat you. You can rest easy knowing they will take the time to explain what's causing your foot pain, what treatments are best suited to your problem, and what steps you should take after treatment.
And while our podiatrists are uniquely qualified to perform surgery, we often recommend non-surgical options, using treatments like orthotics to relieve foot, arch, and heel pain. From sports injuries and bunions to gout and blisters, we're here to help you live life to the fullest without nagging, debilitating foot pain.
Patients visit our foot clinic in Encinitas, CA, for many podiatric problems, including:
- Sports Injuries
- Ingrown Toenails
- Bunions
- Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
- Plantar Fasciitis
- General Ankle Pain
- Sprains
- Fractures
- Flat Feet
- Hammertoes
- Gout
- Foot and Ankle Rheumatoid Arthritis
If you're dealing with chronic foot pain or are concerned about a long-lasting symptom that affects your daily life, we're here to help. Unsure if you need to call to make an appointment? These symptoms are often signs that you might need to visit our foot and ankle doctors:
5 Common Symptoms That Indicate Serious Foot Problems
Most people over 40 know that strange body aches and pains become more common with age. The same can be said with our feet. As we get older, our feet usually spread out and lose the fatty pads that help cushion our feet. If you're overweight, the ligaments and bones in your feet also take an extra beating. Also, with age, foot abnormalities that you were born with become more pronounced, as the joints in your feet lose flexibility and become rigid. To make matters worse, the skin covering your feet dries out, resulting in more cuts, scrapes, and infections.
It's clear that we endure more foot pain as we get older, but what kind of foot pain should we be most concerned about? It can be hard to tell - pain from what looks like normal bruising may actually be a sign that something more serious is occurring. That's why we're listing some of the most common symptoms of serious foot problems. That way, you're better educated and have a better shot at figuring out whether you need a simple bag of ice or a visit to your podiatrist in Encinitas, CA.
Foot and Ankle Swelling
When you sprain your foot or ankle or suffer an acute injury, it's normal for your foot to swell up. This type of swelling typically goes down after 48 hours have passed. However, if you hurt your foot and the swelling is severe and doesn't go away after a couple of days, it's cause for concern. Persistent swelling often indicates an ankle or foot injury that needs podiatric care.
North County Foot and Ankle Pro Tip: If you notice persistent swelling of any kind on your body, it's wise to see a doctor. Ankle swelling, in particular, could be a warning sign that a blood clot or heart issue is present.
Foot and Ankle Pain
It's normal for your foot or ankle to "smart" after you stub your toe or twist your ankle. However, if you're experiencing ongoing ankle and foot pain, it's probably not normal. The pain doesn't have to be sharp, either - if you have dull pain, tenderness, or weakness that lasts more than two days, a trip to the foot doctor may be in order.
Foot and Ankle Instability
Minor ankle and foot injuries, like sprains, are quite common. When a sprain happens, it's normal to experience some instability or weakness afterward. Chronic instability, however, is a more serious problem. Long-term instability or weakness may signify torn ligaments or something worse. If you've had trouble standing or walking for a long time, it's best to make an appointment at a foot clinic in Encinitas.
North County Foot and Ankle Pro Tip: Podiatric experts like those at North County Foot and Ankle may have a long-term solution to help reclaim your mobility without surgery. Give our office call today to learn more!
Foot and Ankle Stiffness
Stiffness is a normal symptom that should be expected with sprains, plantar fasciitis, and arthritis. Often, you can alleviate such stiffness with rest, weight loss, stretching, or even new shoes. With that said, if you're experiencing ongoing stiffness, it could be a red flag that something more serious is going on.
Foot and Ankle Snapping and Popping Sounds
When you've been sitting for a long time, you may have noticed a popping sound from your feet when you stand. That sound is perfectly normal. So long as it's painless, you've got nothing to worry about. However, if you feel pain when you hear a popping noise, it could indicate a subluxation or dislocation, which are conditions that require a podiatrist's attention.
If you're not sure whether you should be concerned about a painful foot or ankle symptom, give our clinic in Encinitas a call ASAP. Our helpful technicians can help answer your questions and set up a time for you to speak with one of our friendly podiatrists.
Here are just a few of the typical foot problems we treat daily.
Ankle Specialist for Tony Edgell
★★★★★
Highly highly recommend!!! I've had foot pain when I was on my feet my whole life, over 50 years. The doctor had foot orthotics made and gave me a stretch to do, and the pain is completely gone. Crazy, this is not the problem I went for, and I wasn't going to bring up the pain because I didn't think the problem could be fixed. Luckily, the doctor asked me about foot pain on the first visit. All the other issues I went for on the first visit were resolved. This practice has caring, friendly and professional doctors and staff. Thanks!
Podiatrist for Cindy Van
★★★★★
I’m offering my five star review for North County Foot and Ankle specialists but most importantly for Dr. Avanti Redkar. After a miserable and failed surgery from another local podiatrist I came to Dr. Redkar who has been giving me outstanding treatment! She has treated me respectfully and thoughtfully and has gone to bat for me with insurance snafus and I am now finally being seen by a five star doctor!!! Her office staff of Irma and Tisha have been incredibly helpful and kind and have also worked very diligently to get through to my insurance company for much needed approvals! I highly recommend this office along with Dr.Redkar and hope you too have the good fortune of being treated so wonderfully!
Ankle Specialist for Dennis Haynes
★★★★★
Dr. Morris was able to diagnose my foot issue in about 5 minutes along with a treatment. Very happy with the results and will use again for any future foot issues. Very satisfied.
Foot Surgeon for Marci Kalbfell
★★★★★
Everyone was so pleasant and professional. They all know their jobs very well and I was treated like royalty! I highly recommend them!
Foot Clinic for Christi Barbosa
★★★★★
I enjoyed and respect Dr. Morris and his staff members!! I have a reoccurring ankle instability in my right foot and Dr. Morris did both feet in-house X-ray then sent me out to get a MRI scan of the foot when he couldn’t see the issue. He did guess what it could be but doesn’t want to treat me with a guess. That I appreciate and respect. His guess was correct but the fact that he didn’t just prescribe me pain medications on a guess makes me apart of the learning and healing process. He didn’t tell me I needed surgery and sign me up for it. He said it’s a possibility after we do certain steps but we need to try things first. He has sent me to a Physical Therapist and I can see just how weak my ankles are in both feet. Im shocked how unstable and weak my ankles are at age 44 since I'm an active person!!! His two ladies working on phone calls , insurance , appointments etc…are the sweetest two office employees live ever met. They got me into see him earlier than I expected after listening to my complaints about my feet. They’ve sent me a Thank You card in the mail, they’ve listened to me when I’ve called complaining about my pain and discomfort. Dr. Morris even got back to me within 10 minutes of my call. Im a wife and mother of 3 boys and I wish my family could operate like this place. If you’re looking for solutions for your current foot problems I suggest you try Dr. Morris and his staff. Im so grateful to have found this place. I wish I would’ve found it earlier so I could’ve curtailed my feet issues
Foot Doctor for Katie S

Foot Specialist for Andrea Lora
★★★★★
My husband saw Dr.Morris for an ankle injury and could not be happier with his treatment. He is now back to work (he works on his feet 10 hours a day) and pain free! He received custom orthotics and they are working out great! Thank you Dr.Morris and staff!
Foot Specialist for Robert Guy
★★★★★
After doctors told me they had to amputate my toe, Dr Morris was able to save most if it. I am very grateful for his treatment!!! His staff was amazing and very supportive!!! Thank you and I highly recommend you!!!
Podiatrist for Laura Whitten
★★★★★
Dr. Morris is the best combination of compassionate and honest. He cares deeply about the wellness of his patients and seeing them through to their healing.

Dr. Morris is knowledgeable and forthright. There is never a long wait and the thoroughness with which he treats each case is 100% professional.

Foot Clinic for Ron W
★★★★★
I needed a Podiatrist for a recurring foot problem I had for several years. I was referred to NCFAS. I called to schedule an appointment and I spoke with Tish. She was so pleasant to deal with. She took the time to listen to my complaint and I scheduled an appointment. I look forward to meeting the rest of the staff and getting my foot issue addressed.
Foot Doctor for M P
★★★★★
So happy with Dr. Morris’ office! The staff are great and take care of you. Tisha and Irma also care about each patient and take the time to ask how they are doing!
Foot and Ankle Doctor for Haley Long
★★★★★
I had broken my foot a couple months before visiting, and as soon as I arrived I felt so welcome! It is a very small office, but they treat you like family! Super incredible staff! When I came back for my follow up I saw the same people and they knew exactly what I was there for before I said anything! They make it a point to find the best solution for you, and they were very honest about my options! Super great service! Highly recommend!
Foot Specialist for David Onate
★★★★★
Friendly and professional office/nursing staff. Dr. Morris is very clear about procedures and expectations and very easy to understand. Appointments were always on-time. Highly recommended!
Foot Specialist for Hope Gillespie
★★★★★
After 2 years of major foot pain and seeing other doctors I almost gave up on ever being pain free from plantar fasciitis. I tried everything the other doctors were advising me to do and nothing was working. I couldn’t take another Cortizone shot and was about to just come to terms I would have this pain forever. Then I was referred to Dr Morris. Let me tell you, he was absolutely a God send. He went about my treatment in a way that the others did not and yes it was a long haul, but it worked!!! I am 100% pain free and back to normal activities with no pain. Never thought I’d see this day. He is absolutely amazing and is such a nice and personable Dr. And his staff, Irma, Tisha, and Donald were all so nice and very helpful throughout the whole process. Always a pleasure when I went in and very quick to address any needs I had. I highly recommend Dr Morris and his staff, so Great grateful someone recommended him. PS, no surgery needed!!
Achilles tendon rupture for Jen Wass
★★★★★
I came to see Dr. Morris after a very long and disappointing experience with another Podiatrist. My expectations have been exceeded not only from him, but his great staff as well. He listened, and very clearly explained my situation and the possible treatment options available. I now feel as though I am in very competent hands.
Foot Specialist for James Urbanoski
★★★★★
Really liked the dr and the staff. I really appreciate that I can call and get a person on the phone too.
Ankle Specialist for Martha Bruning
★★★★★
I was hoping to find a female Podiatrist. I had a bad experience locally. One of my doctors recommended this practice. The first appointment available was with Dr. Redkar. I was pleasantly surprised the doctor was female. I have has several appointments and she is professional, listens to all my concerns and problems. She explains everything to me nicely and makes everything understandable and gentle treatment. I am so glad this practice was recommended to me and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to be treated respectfully.
Podiatrist for Naureen Kamdar
★★★★★
Great experience! Comfortable orthotics that resolved by pain and would highly recommend to friends and family!
Foot Surgeon for Tim Eickhoff
★★★★★
While vacationing in Escondido, I began experiencing sharp pains in my right foot. I thought about dealing with the discomfort until I returned home, but the pain became unbearable. I was not too familiar with the area, so I did the best research I could online trying to determine where to schedule my appointment. I discovered North County Foot & Ankle and could not have been more pleased with the results. Not only were they able to schedule me for a same-day appointment, but I was seen by Dr. Morris at the time of my appointment (no delays!). The facilities were welcoming and I was warmly greeted at the office by their staff. Dr. Morris was able to give me a confident diagnosis and assure me it would not be long before I could go hiking again. I really enjoyed my experience and would only wish I did not have to travel out of town to see Dr. Morris again.
Foot Specialist for Jamilah N. McCluney
★★★★★
I have flat feet and have suffered from plantar fasciitis for years. I finally decided to seek help after the pain in both feet became excruciating to walk and stand. I was prescribed orthotics from a previous podiatrist and felt no relief. *Enter North County Foot & Ankle Specialists here* After meeting Dr. Avanti Redkar and complaining to her about my issues, she knew exactly what I needed. She immediately got me in for treatment and walked me through everything I would need to do to ensure I had successful long term effects. For the first time in over 20 years, I wake up and walk completely pain free. I had become so accustomed to living with the pain, I never imagined my life without it, until now. My only regret is that I didn't find Dr. Redkar sooner!
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Encinitas, CA
Do you have intense heel pain that appears when you first stand up, only for it to disappear after a few steps? If so, you could be one of the millions of people in the U.S. suffering from plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is most often caused by an inflamed ligament covering bones on the bottom of your feet. Also called "Policeman's Heel," this painful condition is a common reason for heel pain, but it won't go away on its own.
Almost all cases of plantar fasciitis will get better with easy, non-surgical treatments and lifestyle changes. A good place to start is by refraining from activities or sports that cause pain, like jogging, hiking, running, or aerobic exercises.
Common treatment options at North County Foot and Ankle include:
Orthotic Shoe Inserts
Orthotic shoe inserts provide you with the arch support that your feet need, especially with shoes like women's flats that don't have much foot support. We also recommend wearing shoes that are appropriate for the activity you're enjoying, like hiking boots on your favorite trail and running shoes on the street or track.
Stretching
Stretching regularly with gentle exercises can help prevent plantar fasciitis and stop flare-ups. Stretching your calves, specifically, reduces heel pain effectively. After you schedule an appointment at our foot clinic in Encinitas, one of our doctors can explain the proper exercises in more detail.
Night Splints
Wearing a brace or splint while you sleep will keep your plantar fascia stretched. That way, when you wake up and take your first steps of the day, you shouldn't have as much pain because your plantar fascia won't have a chance to tighten up overnight.
North County Foot and Ankle Pro Tip: If you're still struggling with plantar fasciitis after using orthotics, treatments like orthobiologics, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment, or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) may be more effective.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment in Encinitas, CA
Ingrown toenails are among the most common foot maladies in the United States. Though common, ingrown toenails can be painful, resulting in swelling, bleeding, pus, and more. Various factors cause ingrown toenails, such as heredity, trauma, hygiene, nail conditions, and improper trimming. Thankfully, with the help of an expert, most ingrown toenails can be treated at home or in a podiatrist's office.
Ingrown toenails happen when the corners and sides of your toenails grow and eventually dig into the flesh around your nail. Most often occurring on the big toe, ingrown toenails become a serious concern when they are left untreated or when an infection is involved. To determine whether your ingrown toenail needs an evaluation by a foot doctor in Encinitas, CA, keep an eye out for initial symptoms and infection symptoms:
North County Foot and Ankle Pro Tip
To help prevent infection, try cutting your nails in a straight line, and don't cut them too short. Do not cut your nails to match the shape of your toe.
When your toenail becomes ingrown, you need doctors with real expertise in diagnosing and treating foot problems. At North County Foot and Ankle, our doctors are highly qualified to treat the underlying conditions causing your ingrown toenail. That way, you can enjoy long-term relief and also learn the ways to prevent ingrown toenails in the future.
Initial Symptoms of Ingrown Toenails:
- Fluid Building Around Nail
- Pain from Pressure
- Tenderness, Swelling, or Hardening of Skin
Infection Symptoms of Ingrown Toenails:
- Severe Swelling and Redness
- Extreme Pain
- Skin Overgrowth
- Bleeding
- Oozing Pus
Bunion Treatment in Encinitas, CA
If you have a bony bump near the bottom joint of your big toe, chances are it's a bunion. Bunions are deformities on your feet that are formed when your front foot bones become misaligned. When this happens, the misaligned bones cause the top half of your big toe to point inward toward your second toe. From there, your tendons will tighten, which pulls your toe even further inward. Once your toe is pulled more inward, the bottom joint of your big toe will bulge outward. The bulge you see is actually what we refer to as a bunion.
Without treatment, your toe pain can worsen, and the bunion can grow. Painful swelling in the balls of your feet can also cause hammertoe. Hammertoe happens your second toe is bent out of shape by your misaligned big toe.
Luckily, North County Foot and Ankle is California's go-to clinic for bunion treatment in Encinitas, CA. Our highly-trained doctors can stop these uncomfortable conditions from happening and help prevent worse conditions from developing.
Bunion Pain Solutions
Jason Morris, a board-certified podiatric foot surgeon in Encinitas, CA, is one of the top podiatrists in the greater San Diego area and has successfully treated patients with bunions for over ten years. He offers advanced treatments for bunion pain, such as:
Customized Orthotics for Bunion Treatment
Our hand-made orthotics, which are worn in your shoes, are molded to fit your foot exactly, correcting bone misalignments and relieving pain much better than cookie-cutter, store-bought options.
Bunion Surgery
Drs. Morris and Redkar performs state-of-the-art triplanar correction surgery using 3-D digital imaging and a minimal incision approach. This procedure is very effective and works by rotating misaligned big toe bones back to the proper position. Once your toe bones are back in position, a metal plate is attached to your bones so that they remain aligned over long-term use.
Combined Bunion Treatment
Drs. Morris and Redkar may recommend both surgery and custom orthotics to keep your foot pain-free and your bunion from growing back.

In addition to yoga, Encinitas is also famous for its world-class surfing spots, including Swami's Beach, Cardiff Reef, and Moonlight Beach. If you prefer land-based activities, there are plenty of outdoor fitness options, such as hiking the San Elijo Lagoon trails, biking along the coast, or joining a boot camp class at Encinitas Fit.

ENCINITAS, CA — A last-ditch effort to save Buy Buy Baby fell apart, and the company will close its stores in Encinitas and across the U.S. as part of its bankrupt parent company's ongoing liquidation.
CNBC reported that the owner of children's apparel company Janie and Jack was "eager" to buy the Bed Bath & Beyond chain and keep it running, but could not reach a deal on its value.
There are two Buy Buy Baby (styled buybuy BABY) stores in San Diego County. The Encinitas store is at 1014 North El Camino Real. The Chula Vista store is at 1660 Millenia Ave.
Buy Buy Baby's lender "determined it could recover more of its losses" by selling the chain's intellectual property and going ahead with liquidation sales. Debtors canceled an auction of the entire business last week, CNN Business reported. It is not immediately clear when stores would begin closing.
Retailer Dream on Me Industries, one of Buy Buy Baby's former suppliers, won the chain's trademark and digital assets for $15.5 million, according to CNBC. Bed Bath & Beyond failed to receive any higher bids.

Buy Buy Baby was seen as one of the retailer's more valuable assets, with several companies interested in securing at least part of the brand separately from the parent company.
Bed Bath & Beyond filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 23, listing its estimated assets and liabilities at a value up to $10 billion. Discounted sales have been taking place since late April at 360 Bed Bath and Beyond stores across the country, including the stores remaining in California.
Overstock.com put in a $21.5 million offer for Bed Bath & Beyond's IP in June.
