Your feet and ankles are the foundation of your mobility, playing a crucial role in every step you take. When pain or injury affects these vital structures, it can severely limit your ability to move and enjoy life’s activities. At The Orthopedic Partners, our dedicated foot and ankle specialists are here to provide the expert care you need to regain your footing and move forward with confidence.
The Complexity of the Foot & Ankle
The foot and ankle are intricate structures composed of 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These components work together to provide balance, stability, and mobility. Given their complexity and constant use, the foot and ankle are vulnerable to a wide range of injuries and conditions that require specialized care.
Common Foot & Ankle Conditions
Our team at The Orthopedic Partners is equipped to handle a broad spectrum of foot and ankle conditions, including:
- Foot Fractures and Injuries: Injuries to the bones of the foot, whether caused by trauma or stress, can lead to significant pain and require prompt treatment to prevent long-term issues.
- Ankle Fractures and Injuries: The ankle joint is prone to fractures and sprains, often resulting from sports activities or accidents. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for optimal recovery.
- Plantar Fasciitis: A common cause of heel pain, plantar fasciitis involves inflammation of the tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It can make walking painful and difficult.
- Achilles Tendonitis: Overuse or sudden increases in physical activity can lead to inflammation of the Achilles tendon, causing pain and stiffness in the back of the ankle.
- Arthritis: Degenerative joint disease can affect the foot and ankle, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Managing arthritis effectively is key to maintaining quality of life.
- Flatfoot and High Arches: Structural abnormalities, such as flatfoot or high arches, can cause pain and discomfort. Our specialists offer personalized treatments to address these issues.
