FOOT AND ANKLE CARE The Foot and Ankle are continuously stressed when we are standing, walking, running and jumping.  They bear an immense workload while simultaneously adjusting to varying terrains.  Trauma can lead to sprains and fractures. Sprains and fractures are common but they require proper treatment to assure full healing with no chronic symptoms. Overuse can lead to foot and ankle pain from tendonitis, fasciitis, and arthritis. An orthopaedic surgeon is trained to sort through all of the symptoms and find the correct diagnosis. Once the origin of the problem is identified, a proper treatment plan can be initiated to resolve and cure the problem.
