Injuries We Evaluate
Foot and ankle injuries can include ankle sprains, stress fractures, other fractures, Achilles tendon problems, plantar fasciitis flare-ups, and turf toe. Symptoms alone may not show how serious an injury is.
Evaluation & Care Options
An evaluation may include examination and imaging when needed. Depending on the diagnosis, care may include activity changes, bracing, casting, offloading, rehabilitation guidance, an in-office procedure, or surgery.
When to Seek Prompt Care
Call the office promptly for a significant injury, worsening pain or swelling, or difficulty bearing weight. Severe injury, obvious deformity, loss of sensation, or another emergency may require emergency care; call 911 for an emergency.
