Foot & Ankle Conditions & Treatments

Don't Let Pain Stop You in Your Tracks

Muscles, bones, and tendons in our feet and ankles all align to support our weight and get us from point A to point B. They work so seamlessly that it’s hard to appreciate them all the time.

When conservative (non-surgical) treatments such as medication and physical therapy no longer help to alleviate pain, it may be time to seriously consider undergoing foot & ankle surgery if you are experiencing these other symptoms:

  • Aching in the joint, followed by periods of relative relief
  • Pain after extensive use
  • Loss of motion
  • Joint stiffness after periods of inactivity or rest
  • Pain that seems to increase in humid weather

Our ankle and foot doctors can work with you to design the best treatment plan for your diagnosis.
