Ganglion cysts are fluid-filled sacs that often develop in areas of the foot or ankle subject to repeated friction or pressure. These cysts can cause discomfort, swelling, or a noticeable lump that may interfere with footwear or daily activities. At Foothills Podiatry, we specialize in diagnosing and treating ganglion cysts to alleviate symptoms and restore comfort.

For many patients, ganglion cysts can be effectively treated through fine needle aspiration. This minimally invasive procedure involves first numbing the area followed by draining the fluid from the cyst, providing immediate relief with minimal downtime. Dr. Chen ensures this procedure is quick and comfortable, making it a great first step in addressing ganglion cysts.

If a ganglion cyst continues to recur after aspiration, surgical removal may be necessary. At Foothills Podiatry, we perform these procedures in clinic, saving patients the time and expense of visiting a surgical facility. Our in-clinic approach ensures a safe and effective removal while minimizing risks and recovery time.
