The foot and ankle support your entire body with every step. They work together to provide strength, balance, and mobility, which means even minor injuries or irritation can make daily activities difficult. Pain in these areas may limit walking, exercise, or work tasks and can worsen without proper evaluation.
At OccuHealth Surgery Center, our foot and ankle specialists provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of injuries and conditions. Our goal is to relieve pain, restore movement, and help you return to normal activity with confidence.
Foot and ankle pain can develop suddenly from an injury or gradually over time from overuse or degeneration. Some of the most common causes include: strains, sprains, tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, and fractures of the foot, ankle, or toes.
Symptoms may vary from sharp pain and swelling to stiffness, instability, or difficulty bearing weight.
If pain makes it hard to stand, walk, or move comfortably, an evaluation from a foot and ankle specialist is recommended.
Our team begins with a detailed physical examination to assess swelling, tenderness, range of motion, and stability. Imaging studies such as X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI help us understand the severity of the condition and identify the best next steps. This thorough approach ensures that your treatment plan addresses the true source of your symptoms.
Treatment depends on the specific injury, its severity, and how the pain affects your daily life.
Many foot and ankle conditions respond well to conservative treatment. This may include rest, activity modification, supportive footwear, bracing, and physical therapy designed to improve strength and mobility. Non-addictive medication or targeted injections may also help reduce inflammation and ease pain.
When an injury is severe, displaced, or not improving with conservative care, surgery may be needed to repair damaged structures. Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques when appropriate to restore alignment, protect function, and promote a smoother recovery. Procedures may include tendon repair, ligament reconstruction, fracture fixation, or correction of structural deformities.
Each treatment plan is individualized based on your injury, activity level, and recovery goals.
