My Ankle/Foot
Understanding Ankle and Foot Problems
Your feet and ankles are remarkable structures that support your entire body weight while
adapting to various surfaces and movement demands. Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints,
and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This complexity allows for the intricate
movements needed for walking, running, and balance, but also creates multiple opportunities for
injury.
Ankle and foot problems can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life. From simple
sprains to complex biomechanical issues, these conditions require proper assessment and
treatment to ensure full recovery and prevent chronic problems.
Common Ankle and Foot Conditions We Treat
Ankle Sprains The most common ankle injury, involving stretching or tearing of ligaments, typically occurring when the foot rolls inward or outward beyond its normal range.
Plantar Fasciitis Inflammation of the thick band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes, causing sharp heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning.
Achilles Tendonitis Inflammation of the large tendon connecting your calf muscles to your heel bone, causing pain and stiffness along the back of your ankle.
Ankle Fractures Breaks in one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint, requiring
immediate medical attention and specialized rehabilitation.
Foot and Ankle Arthritis Joint inflammation that can affect multiple joints in the foot and ankle, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Morton’s Neuroma A painful condition affecting the ball of your foot, causing sharp, burning
pain and numbness between the toes.
Shin Splints Pain along the shinbone, often related to running or other high-impact activities, though technically affecting the lower leg rather than the foot itself.
