Ankle & Foot Centers of America is a podiatrist in Conyers, GA. The practice treats ankle pain and the injuries and conditions behind it, including sprains, strains, contusions, tendinitis and bursitis, fractures and dislocations, arthritis, and infections such as cellulitis and osteomyelitis. Care begins with getting to know the patient and understanding their story, then planning treatment around their needs and goals. Nonsurgical options include the RICE method of rest, ice, compression and elevation, over-the-counter NSAIDs such as naproxen or ibuprofen, prescription corticosteroids, custom-made or over-the-counter orthotics, footwear changes, physical therapy, and immobilization with splints, braces or casts. Joint aspiration, also called arthrocentesis, draws excess fluid from a swollen joint with a hollow needle to relieve pressure and help diagnose the cause. When surgery is needed, procedures include minimally invasive ankle arthroscopy, ankle fracture surgery using metal plates, screws and wires, ligament repair, removal of bone spurs, scar tissue or impinged soft tissue, and ankle fusion for advanced arthritis. The practice holds a rating of 4.90.
