Your Foot & Ankle Questions, Answered.
You should consider seeing a foot and ankle specialist if pain, swelling, instability, or stiffness persists, worsens, or interferes with walking, work, sports, or daily activities—especially after an injury.
No. Many foot and ankle conditions can be successfully treated with non-surgical options such as activity modification, physical therapy, medications, or injections. Surgery is only recommended when conservative care no longer provides relief.
We treat a wide range of injuries, including sports injuries, fractures, ligament and tendon injuries, overuse conditions, and traumatic foot and ankle injuries that affect stability and mobility.
