At OrthoCenter, our foot and ankle orthopaedics team specializes in diagnosing and treating a full range of conditions affecting the foot, ankle, toes, and surrounding tissues. Whether your symptoms developed gradually or resulted from an injury, we provide targeted care to relieve pain, restore function, and help you return to your normal activities.
Foot and ankle problems often begin with mild discomfort and can worsen over time if left untreated. Early evaluation can help identify the source of your symptoms and improve treatment outcomes. You may benefit from care if you experience:
Pain in the foot, ankle, heel, toes, or surrounding areas during activity or at rest.
Reduced strength or difficulty walking, standing, balancing, or pushing off while moving.
Difficulty bending, flexing, or fully moving the ankle, foot, or toes.
Inflammation, swelling, or stiffness that affects mobility and comfort.
Clicking, catching, popping, or feelings that the ankle may give out during movement.
Pain or limitations while walking, exercising, running, standing for long periods, or wearing certain footwear.
Our orthopaedic specialists treat both acute injuries and chronic conditions affecting the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and soft tissues of the foot and ankle.
Inflammation of the plantar fascia (a thick band of tissue along the bottom of the foot), causing heel pain, especially in the morning.
A bony growth on the underside of the heel bone, often associated with plantar fasciitis.
A condition where the arch of the foot collapses, leading to a flat appearance and possible pain or fatigue in the feet and legs.
Pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot, typically caused by overuse or improper footwear.
A thickening of nerve tissue between the toes (often the 3rd and 4th), causing sharp, burning pain or numbness.
Bunions (Hallux Valgus) are a bony bump at the base of the big toe that forms when the toe pushes inward, often leading to pain and difficulty with shoes.
A deformity where a toe bends downward at the middle joint, often due to muscle imbalance or tight footwear.
Small, hairline cracks in bones of the foot (commonly metatarsals), caused by repetitive stress or overuse.
Compression of the posterior tibial nerve as it passes through the tarsal tunnel near the ankle, leading to tingling, burning, or numbness in the foot.
Ankle Injuries & Conditions
Stretching or tearing of ligaments around the ankle, most often from rolling or twisting the joint. Graded I–III based on severity.
Inflammation of the Achilles tendon (at the back of the ankle), often due to overuse, tight calf muscles, or improper footwear.
A complete tear of the Achilles tendon, often felt as a sudden “pop” followed by difficulty walking or standing on tiptoe.
A break in one or more of the bones that form the ankle joint (tibia, fibula, talus), usually from trauma or falls.
Injury to the ligaments that connect the two bones of the lower leg (tibia and fibula), usually from twisting injuries.
Inflammation or tearing of the peroneal tendons, which run along the outside of the ankle, causing pain and instability.
A condition where the posterior tibial tendon becomes inflamed or torn, often leading to flatfoot and progressive pain.
Managing foot and ankle pain doesn’t have to mean scheduling a major procedure. A wide range of minimally invasive and non-surgical treatments can successfully reduce pain, improve stability, and help you get back to your routine. Combining physical therapy, supportive care, and targeted treatments allows you to protect your joints, restore movement, and maintain an active lifestyle.
