Ankle pain is any pain or discomfort in the ankle joint, a complex structure made up of bones including the tibia, fibula and talus, along with muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels. Injuries, arthritis and normal wear and tear are the most common causes. Depending on the cause, pain or stiffness can be felt anywhere around the ankle, and the ankle may swell or become unable to bear weight. Most ankle pain improves with at-home treatment such as the RICE method, rest, ice, compression, elevation and over-the-counter pain medication. More severe cases are treated with braces and splints, injections and surgery. Surgery is generally reserved for severe injuries such as broken bones, or for pain that does not improve after nonsurgical treatment. Care is recommended when ankle pain does not go away within a few days or when it is getting worse.

The practice's care spans orthopaedics and podiatry, with teams experienced in diagnosing and treating many different causes of ankle pain, from sprains and fractures to arthritis. Treatment planning begins by getting to know the patient and understanding their story, then working together to plan care around their needs and recovery goals. Minimally invasive options are used where possible to avoid surgery, and providers take time to answer questions and support patients through recovery.

The practice has earned a positive rating from the customers who have reviewed it.
