At Brighton Apothecary, we understand that foot and ankle conditions can impact daily life, making simple activities uncomfortable or even painful. Many patients seek nonsurgical treatments to manage pain, inflammation, infections, and chronic conditions affecting the feet. Compounded medications offer personalized solutions that standard treatments may not provide.
By working closely with podiatrists and providers, we create customized formulations tailored to each patient’s needs, offering targeted relief with specialized ingredients and dosage forms.
Compounded Solutions for Common Foot Conditions
Pain & Inflammation Management
Foot and ankle pain can result from overuse, injury, or chronic conditions. Compounded medications allow for customized pain relief options and anti-inflammatory formulations, to help reduce discomfort while helping to minimize systemic side effects.
- Heel Pain & Heel Spurs – Topical anti-inflammatory creams, gels, or sprays can target localized pain.
- Plantar Fasciitis – Transdermal creams may help reduce inflammation in the arch and heel.
- Tendonitis & Shin Splints – Custom pain relief and muscle relaxants can be incorporated into topical formulations.
- Bunions & Hammertoe – Compounded formulations with pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory agents may help ease discomfort.
Fungal & Bacterial Infections
Foot infections, including fungus and bacterial overgrowth, can be persistent and difficult to treat with traditional medications. Compounded antifungal and antimicrobial solutions can be formulated to help enhance penetration.
- Fungal Toenails – Medicated lacquers, solutions, or creams are formulated to penetrate the nail for targeted treatment.
- Athlete’s Foot & Turf Toe – Custom antifungal creams, sprays, and powders may help eliminate persistent infections.
- Infections & Wound Care – Antimicrobial wound treatments, gels, and rinses support healing and prevent complications.
Skin & Nail Conditions
Chronic skin conditions and foot deformities can cause pain, discomfort, and cosmetic concerns. We formulate customized topical treatments that may help to improve these conditions.
- Corns & Calluses – Softening agents, exfoliants, and keratolytic formulations can be tailored for thickened skin.
- Warts – Compounded wart treatments with salicylic acid, retinoids, or antiviral agents may help resolve stubborn warts.
- Nail & Skin Care – Customized creams and oils can be used to promote hydrate, repair, and strengthen dry, cracked skin and brittle nails.
Gout & Joint Pain
Gout is a painful form of arthritis caused by excess uric acid. Compounded medications offer localized relief without affecting the entire body.
- Gout – Transdermal anti-inflammatory formulations may help reduce swelling and pain in the affected joints.
Diabetic Foot Care & Wound Healing
Patients with diabetes are at higher risk for foot ulcers and slow-healing wounds. Compounded medications may help protect against infection, promote circulation, and support tissue regeneration.
