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 Oceanside, 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 Oceanside? 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 Oceanside, 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 Oceanside, 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 Oceanside, 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 Oceanside.
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 Oceanside 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 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 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 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 Oceanside, 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 Oceanside, 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 Oceanside, 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 Oceanside, 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 Oceanside, 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 Oceanside, 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 Oceanside, 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.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — Another powerful atmospheric-river-fueled storm is expected to slam Southern California Tuesday bringing torrential downpours, flooding and snow at higher elevations — but San Diego County may escape the brunt it.
The storm is expected to be far more powerful in Southern California than last week’s, and is expected to hit Ventura and Los Angeles counties hardest on Tuesday.
While the local mountains could receive several inches of rain, coastal and valleys could get nearly 2 inches of rain, according to the National Weather Service. The mountains and foothills will receive the highest rates of rain, possibly between a half-inch and 1 inch per hour.
Forecasters said there is a 5 percent chance that San Diego County will see rainfall exceeding levels that can cause flash flooding.
“Flood watch in effect for most of southwest California tonight thru early Wed. This is a very wet storm, with a lot of water over already saturated grounds,” the weather service warned. “Expect significant road and creek flooding. Moderate threat of river flooding and burn scar debris flows.
Find out what's happening in Oceanside-Camp Pendletonwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
"Confidence is fairly high that this storm will bring significant widespread heavy rainfall to the region. In fact, it will be a big surprise if it does not do so."
While rain is likely to start falling in the pre-dawn hours in San Diego County, the brunt of the storm is expected to hit the area late Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday night, according to AccuWeather.
"There will likely be widespread and significant roadway flooding across the region from this storm, but there may also be more significant flooding, with mud and debris flows, rock slides, and some flooding of creeks and rivers," according to the NWS.
Although the storm will be particularly wet, forecasters said the snow level will remain above 8,000 feet, with little to no accumulations anticipated, according to AccuWeather.
Dry weather is expected to return Wednesday night through Thursday night, with another smaller system sliding into the area by Friday and lasting into the weekend although the bulk of that storm will likely remain to the north, resulting in a mostly dry but cool weekend.

About two dozen people forced to flee Southern California apartment buildings endangered by a tumbling oceanside hill were warned Thursday that they may be evacuated indefinitely.
Three clifftop apartment buildings and one nearby building in coastal Orange County's San Clemente were red-tagged and evacuated Wednesday when the land began to shift and slide away from their backyards down a hillside following torrential rains.
Authorities said there was no timetable for declaring the slope stable enough for residents to return.

"I think everyone should understand we have a dynamic situation here," Mayor Chris Duncan said during a news conference. "We have another rainstorm coming, the ground is continuing to move, so these structures are still in peril."
The National Weather Service said heavy rain could hit Southern California again early next week.
Twenty to 30 residents were evacuated. Some were briefly allowed back home on Thursday to move out their belongings.
Orange County was added to a presidential emergency declaration for areas hard-hit by natural disasters.
About 35 out of 58 California counties are now covered by the declaration, which authorizes federal assistance to help state and local governments deal with a series of fierce winter storms.
California has been hit with 11 atmospheric rivers in a virtually nonstop series that has sparked floods and landslides, toppled trees, stranded mountain dwellers in historically deep snow and downed power lines, leaving thousands without electricity.
Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley said the county had seen more than $4 million in storm damage, and the figure will escalate.

In the city of La Habra, news reports said a sinkhole about 30 feet deep opened up Wednesday night next to another sinkhole that opened up in 2019 after heavy rain. Repairs to the earlier hole have yet to be completed.
Some Southern California beaches were closed as heavy rain overwhelmed sewage systems and sent thousands of gallons of raw sewage to the sea. Ventura County closed beaches near the Santa Clara River after a collapsed sewer line spewed about 148,000 gallons of sewage into the waterway, which flows into the Pacific Ocean. The closures were expected to remain in place through the weekend or until testing shows bacteria levels are safe.

US-based biotechnology company Genentech, a member of Roche Group, will build a next-generation biologics manufacturing facility at its existing campus in Oceanside, California, for sustainable production of small-batch commercial biologics.
A ground-breaking ceremony for the new manufacturing facility took place in February 2023. The facility will be one of the most advanced commercial-scale biotech production facilities in the world, as well as Roche’s first facility for dedicated full-scale commercial production.
The facility is being developed as part of an approximately $450m investment that Genentech is making to advance the manufacturing capabilities at its Oceanside campus. It forms part of a larger $700m investment by the company for setting up advanced manufacturing capabilities in California.
The Oceanside facility is expected to be operational in early 2025 and create around 150 jobs in operations.
Location of Genentec’s biologics manufacturing facility
The new manufacturing facility will be located 35 miles north of San Diego, California. Genentech’s Oceanside campus was selected for the new facility due to its proximity to a talented workforce and the company’s Clinical Supply Center in South San Francisco, California.
Oceanside is a seaside community with around 200,000 inhabitants on the Southern California coast, midway between Los Angeles and San Diego.
Details of Genentech’s new biologics manufacturing facility
The new facility will be equipped with modern equipment and use current manufacturing technologies, including single-use technology, automation, and digital manufacturing, to develop biologics in small batches while expediting the manufacturing of commercial medicines for patients.
The in-house process improvements are intended to increase flexibility, speed and output under the same roof.
The facility aims to act as a new model for the rapid and efficient manufacturing of treatments, such as personalised and rare disease medications, for smaller patient groups. It will be equipped with modular equipment to enable the simultaneous production of multiple medicines and substantially decrease the time required to transition from the manufacturing of one drug to another.
The facility will be equivalent to the Clinical Supply Center, allowing devices to be transferred quickly between the two locations.
Sustainable features of Genentech’s biologics manufacturing facility
The Oceanside facility is designed to be efficient and use fewer resources, making it more environmentally friendly than conventional manufacturing facilities.
To improve its sustainability, the plant will use 25% less energy, 28% less water, and 14% less carbon than conventional plants. In addition, it will not return any plastic waste to landfill.
Details of Genentech’s existing Oceanside campus
The Oceanside campus comprises seven buildings built on approximately 575,000ft2, covering 60 acres. The campus is used for multi-product manufacturing, with its capacities ranging from commercial scale to launch.
The facility has a production capacity of 90,000l and is licensed for the manufacturing of Actemra, Rituxan, and Avastin bulk drug substances.
