Finding Hope in the Challenges: Expert Care for Foot Deformities in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease - Dr. Chandan Narang

Living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease comes with unique challenges, especially when it comes to mobility. As one of the most common inherited neurological disorders, CMT often affects the nerves controlling the muscles in the feet and legs, leading to deformities that can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. But amidst these difficulties, there is hope—and the right care can make all the difference.  
As "Dr. Chandan Narang", a specialist in foot and ankle conditions, I have witnessed first hand how the right intervention can restore not only mobility but also confidence in those living with CMT. Let me share how expertise and innovation in treatment can bring hope to individuals and families facing these challenges.  

Understanding the Impact of CMT on the Feet  

CMT causes progressive weakness in the muscles of the feet and lower legs, leading to issues such as:  
- High Arches (Pes Cavus):Making the feet rigid and prone to instability.  
- Hammer Toes: Resulting in pain and difficulty wearing shoes.  
- Ankle Instability: Increasing the risk of frequent falls and injuries.  
- Foot Drop: Leading to difficulty lifting the front part of the foot while walking.  

These deformities aren’t just physical—they can affect emotional well-being, limiting independence and creating a sense of isolation.  

The Journey to Better Mobility  

While living with CMT can feel daunting, modern advances in foot and ankle surgery have opened doors to transformative outcomes. With treatments tailored to the individual, many patients can walk with confidence and freedom again.  

• Minimally Invasive Techniques:

In my practice at Fortis Hospital Mohali, I, Dr. Chandan Narang, employ cutting-edge procedures such as tendon transfers, osteotomies, and bracing solutions to restore function. These approaches are designed to minimize pain, reduce recovery time, and offer long-term relief.  

• Rehabilitation and Care:

Surgery is just the beginning. A comprehensive rehabilitation plan ensures that patients regain strength and adapt to their new mobility with confidence.  

# Inspiring Change: My Commitment to CMT Care  

As a dedicated foot and ankle surgeon, my goal is to provide patients with a second chance at mobility. My journey in treating CMT deformities is fueld by the stories of resilience I witness every day.

Seeing them leave with a renewed sense of hope is the most rewarding part of my work. As Dr. Chandan Narang, I am committed to combining skill, empathy, and advanced techniques to help every patient live their life to the fullest.
