Foot & Ankle Care for Short North Residents
The Short North Arts District is one of Columbus's most vibrant urban neighborhoods, home to galleries, upscale restaurants, and a dense walkable retail corridor that draws foot traffic year-round. The neighborhood's population skews young and active - many residents walk extensively for daily errands and nightlife, and the cobblestone and brick surfaces throughout parts of the district are notoriously hard on feet. We see Short North patients for stylish-footwear-related conditions (bunions, neuromas, ingrown nails from pointed shoes), overuse injuries from urban walking, and sports conditions in residents who train for Columbus Marathon.

Questions from Short North Patients
Common questions we hear from Short North and Franklin County residents.
I live in the Short North and walk everywhere - my ball of foot hurts. What is it?
Ball-of-foot pain in active walkers is often metatarsalgia or a Morton's neuroma (a thickened nerve between the toes). High heels and pointed-toe shoes accelerate these conditions. Dr. Golan can confirm the diagnosis with physical examination and ultrasound, and most cases resolve with footwear modification, metatarsal pads, or injection therapy.
Can you fit me for orthotics in Columbus dress shoes for Short North nightlife?
Yes. We can fabricate slim-profile orthotics designed to fit in dress shoes and fashion footwear - not just athletic or work shoes. These provide support and cushioning without changing how the shoe looks or fits on the outside.
