Meet Christina, a Flagstaff resident and climbing arborist for over 20 years who treasures life on her ranch with her horses and cows. When pain in both feet made standing and walking unbearable, even simple daily activities felt impossible.

Dr. Hayden Poulson, DPM, took the time to truly listen. After a thorough evaluation, he identified hypermobility that was causing a bunion deformity and worked with Christina to create a treatment plan designed around her life, not just her condition.

With Dr. Poulson’s expertise and the support of the Northern Arizona Orthopaedics team, Christina is back on her feet, enjoying her ranch, caring for her animals, and embracing the active life she loves.

Her story is a reminder that compassionate, personalized care can make a meaningful difference in a patient’s journey.
