Foot and Ankle

Introduction to Foot and Ankle Care

Foot and ankle injuries can occur unexpectedly due to trauma, accidents, or certain medical conditions, often leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty in movement. Whether it’s a fracture, sprain, tendonitis, or other foot and ankle conditions, prompt and accurate treatment is essential for a smooth recovery. Our specialized foot and ankle care services provide advanced, non-surgical treatment options to help manage and heal injuries, allowing patients to return to their regular activities with minimal disruption.

Common Foot and Ankle Conditions We Treat

Several conditions can affect the foot and ankle, each requiring specific care to ensure proper healing. Our specialists focus on diagnosing and treating the following common issues:

• Fractures & Dislocations: Fractures occur when bones break due to trauma or falls, while dislocations happen when bones are forced out of position in a joint. These injuries cause intense pain and limit movement. For less severe cases, non-surgical treatments such as casting, splinting, and physical therapy promote healing and restore function.

• Bursitis: Bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa, fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints. It most commonly affects the ankle and foot joints, causing pain, swelling, and discomfort. Rest, ice therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy help reduce symptoms and promote recovery.

• Sprains & Strains: Sprains (ligament injuries) and strains (muscle/tendon injuries) are common in the foot and ankle. These injuries cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. Non-surgical treatments like rest, ice, compression, and elevation (R.I.C.E.), along with targeted physical therapy, are used to heal the injury and restore strength and flexibility.

• Tendonitis: Tendonitis involves inflammation of the tendons that connect muscles to bones, often due to repetitive movement or overuse. It commonly affects the ankle and foot tendons. Non-surgical treatments, including rest, ice therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy, are effective in managing tendonitis and improving mobility.

• Diabetic Foot: Diabetic foot problems, such as slow-healing wounds, nerve damage, and poor circulation, are common complications for individuals with diabetes. This condition increases the risk of infections and ulcers. Proper foot care, wound management, and blood sugar control are essential in preventing complications and promoting healing.
