Our board-certified physicians bring in-depth expertise and our unique "whole patient" practice approach to effectively treat foot and ankle conditions such as:
- A stress fracture, which is a tiny or "hairline" fracture in the bones of the foot that usually results from high impact sports, running, over-training, or poor conditioning.
- An ankle sprain, which results from the tearing or stretching of the ankle tendons or ligaments and is the most common injury to the leg.
- Ankle instability caused by over-stretching of the ligaments of the ankle, which can lead to more frequent ankle sprains.
- Plantar fasciitis. The most common cause of heel pain, this is caused when the connective tissue on the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed.
- Achilles tendonitis, another common cause of heel pain among athletes. This occurs when the large tendon at the back of the heel becomes irritated or inflamed.
- Metatarsalgia, a foot condition that results from overuse and usually causes sharp, aching or burning pain at the bottom or "ball" of the foot next to your toes.
- Flatfeet. While usually painless, this condition, also known as pes planus, sometimes throws off the alignment of your leg and may cause ankle or knee pain.
- Overpronation, when the foot rolls in when you walk–or oversupination, where it doesn't roll in enough–causing a range of conditions from foot and ankle pain to lower back pain and sciatica.
- Tarsal tunnel syndrome. Similar to the more familiar Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, this condition occurs when the tibial nerve is compressed inside the tarsal tunnel on the inside of your leg behind the bump on the inside of your ankle and causes pain, numbness and tingling.
- Peripheral neuropathy, which is usually characterized by pain, numbness and/or tingling and may result from a traumatic injury, infection, metabolic disorder, exposure to toxins or diabetes.
- Chronic regional pain syndrome, which may develop after an injury, where the pain experienced is out of proportion with the injury itself. This is also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
Following an in-depth initial consultation–which may last about one hour–and any prescribed diagnostic testing, your doctor will create a customized treatment plan that may include:
- Pain Management techniques that are minimally invasive and delivered with extreme precision for highly effective, lasting results. These techniques include epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections and nerve blocks.
- Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation to restore flexibility, strength and function.
