Board-certified orthopedic foot and ankle specialist Dr. Karl Henrikson earned his medical degree at the University of Massachusetts and went on to complete his residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. There he enjoyed being team physician for a high school football team. He served as administrative chief and spent a superchief year as an attending. He completed his fellowship in foot and ankle surgery at Penn State Hershey Medical Center in Pennsylvania.

While Dr. Henrikson can treat most orthopedic conditions, his expertise lies in foot and ankle treatment. Common foot and ankle conditions that Dr. Henrikson sees and treats includes plantar fasciitis, foot and ankle fractures, Achilles tendonitis, metatarsalgia, osteochondral lesions, hammer toe, foot and ankle arthritis, and bunions to name a few. He works with his patients to determine the best possible course of treatment and says he finds motivation in seeing patients happy and getting back to their lives.

In his free time, Dr. Henrikson enjoys spending time with his family, exploring the outdoors and participating in activities such as hiking, skiing and fishing.

I want to give that message of hope to patients and help them overcome their pain or discomfort. I will always advocate for my patients and provide the best possible treatment plan.
