Ankle Treatments & Surgery

Ankle Conditions We Treat

• Fractures

  The most common cause of ankle fractures is over-use, resulting in stress fractures. While many fractures heal on their own, proper evaluation is necessary to pick the optimal immobilizer, stabilizer, and recovery plan. Did a hard impact cause your broken ankle? We know how to treat that, too.

• Sprains

  You’ve rolled your ankle. Ouch; now what? Sprains are the result of over-stretched ligaments. They can cause tears, ruptures, and, most noticeably, pain. Serious sprains may require crutches, physical therapy, or even surgery. Our team can evaluate your sprain, and deliver the exact care you need to heal.

• Achilles tendonitis

  Achilles tendonitis describes the common inflammation of the large tendon that runs down the back of your lower leg. It becomes irritated and swollen, causing pain. Because the potential triggers for Achilles tendonitis are numerous, it can be difficult to determine the source of your condition. You might not know how to prevent future flare-ups; that’s where we come in.

• Arthritis

  Arthritis is the inflammation of a joint. Symptoms include joint pain and stiffness, and it’s most common in older patients, athletes, and those genetically predisposed to it. Arthritic damage that is already done cannot be reversed, but our treatments will prevent progression and remedy your pain.
