Do Your Feet Hurt?

The foot and ankle are two of the most versatile and complex areas of your body. One foot alone contains 26 bones, supported by a network of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. When everything is working well, we hardly give them a thought. But when a problem arises, it’s often impossible to ignore.

Fortunately, most cases of foot and ankle pain respond well to treatments like rest, ice, orthotics (shoe inserts), prescribed exercises, and anti-inflammatory oral medication. Local cortisone injections can also provide pain relief. However, when these conservative treatments fail to provide adequate pain relief, surgery may be an option. Foot and ankle surgery is often performed on an outpatient basis using minimally invasive techniques that may mean less pain and risk for you and a faster recovery time.
