At the Center for Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, we use a combination of physical examinations, imaging tests like X-rays and MRIs, and patient history to diagnose ankle and foot conditions. Treatment options vary depending on the diagnosis and may include:
Common signs include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking.
Wearing supportive shoes, stretching regularly, and avoiding overuse can help prevent plantar fasciitis.
If your foot pain persists for more than a few days, is severe, or is accompanied by swelling or difficulty walking, see a doctor.
Treatment may include rest, ice, physical therapy, and sometimes medications or orthotics.
It depends on the injury. Always consult with your doctor to determine safe activities.
Bunions can be caused by genetics, wearing tight or high-heeled shoes, or arthritis.
Stress fractures are diagnosed through physical examination and imaging tests like X-rays or MRI.
Strengthening exercises, proper footwear, and being mindful of your activity can help prevent ankle injuries.
