FOOT & ANKLE ISSUES
We Can Help You Keep Both Feet On The Ground
Foot and Ankle Injury
Ankle and foot sprains, strains, and fractures are common injuries that can result from a sports injury, fall, or accident. Regardless of the cause, these conditions can make it difficult or painful to walk.
Our doctors treat all types of ankle and foot injuries, such as:
- Achilles tendon rupture
- Ankle and foot fractures
- Ankle and foot sprains and strains, such as high ankle sprains
- Sports-related sprains, strains, and fractures
Our doctors specialize in sports-related injuries, helping athletes fully recover from injury and return to competition. We also resolve the more common day-to-day injuries to the foot and ankle.
Symptoms
An ankle or foot sprain occurs when ligaments in the ankle or foot are torn or partially torn. An ankle or foot fracture happens when a bone in the ankle or foot breaks.
Symptoms of a sprain or fracture of the ankle or foot include:
- Pain that worsens when the patient bears weight on the hurt foot
- Swelling or bruising
- Restricted range of motion or instability
Sprained Ankle and Foot Treatment
We often use rest and anti-inflammatory medication to manage ankle or foot sprain pain. Other conservative treatments include:
- Casts or boots
- Physical therapy
- Ultrasound and electrical stimulation
Ankle and Foot Surgery
Ankle and foot sprains and fractures often can heal with nonsurgical treatments. However, depending on the severity and location of a fracture, surgery might be required.
Our specialists work closely with each patient to determine if he or she requires surgery. When surgery is needed, we offer minimally invasive reconstruction surgery, as well as traditional open surgery.
