Ankle & Foot Centers of America

Ankle & Foot Centers of America is a podiatrist in Griffin, GA. The practice treats ankle pain, which can stem from injuries, arthritis or normal wear and tear, and it offers care for a range of ankle and foot conditions. Treatment options include the RICE method of rest, ice, compression and elevation, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications 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. For patients whose pain does not improve with nonsurgical care, the practice also provides joint aspiration to drain excess fluid from a swollen joint and ankle surgery, including minimally invasive ankle arthroscopy, fracture repair with plates, screws and wires, ligament repair and ankle fusion for advanced arthritis. The practice holds a rating of 4.80.

Care begins with getting to know each patient and understanding their story, then planning treatment around that patient's needs and goals, since no two cases of ankle pain are the same. Patients are advised to see a provider when ankle pain lasts more than a few days or gets worse, and to seek emergency care after trauma such as a car accident or severe fall, or if the ankle or leg cannot be moved. The practice also treats pain specific to the sides of the ankle, including peroneal tendinitis on the outside and posterior tibial tendinitis on the inside.
