Foot and Ankle Evaluations and Repair

Issues related to the foot and ankle are often complex because there are so many bones, blood vessels, nerves, and ligaments conjoined together in a small area. The foot contains more than 26 bones, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles, and 33 joints. Even a small injury or misalignment can cause a variety of issues in other parts of your body. Therefore, if you’re suffering from chronic foot and ankle pain or injury, it is essential to consult a fellowship-trained foot and ankle specialist.

Chronic foot pain, acute foot injuries, and loss of function in the ankles or feet can become a significant obstacle. At Valley Orthopaedic Specialists, we are dedicated to resolving the issue and helping your body get back to feeling normal. Meeting with a foot and ankle specialist at our office is the first step in resolving pain and improving function, so you can get back to living your life pain-free.

Common Conditions Treated

Our certified Pedorthist are skilled in treating a variety of different foot and ankle conditions and injuries. Some of the common conditions we treat include:

  • Sports Injuries – Ankle pain experienced when running or engaging in other high-intensity activities can impact your athletic performance. Ankle and foot injuries are common in sports like football, baseball, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, basketball, martial arts, and more.
  • Breaks and Fractures – Car accidents, falls, and other traumas may result in broken or fractured bones in the foot or ankle.
  • Sprains – With so many ligaments in the foot and ankle area, sprains can mean a difficult recovery. Sprains often hide the symptoms of fractures or breaks and often have to be evaluated further.

Additional conditions treated include:

  • Flat feet
  • Heel spurs
  • Foot deformities

Treatments Provided by Our Certified Food and Ankle Specialist

Our physicians at Valley Orthopaedic Specialists offer a variety of different treatments to resolve chronic foot and ankle pain, as well as acute injuries. Treatments may include:

  • Custom Orthotics and Braces – Foot orthotics help align the ankle and foot into an anatomically efficient position. They help correct foot imbalances, realigning the foot to reduce chronic pain.
  • Splints or Casts – For breaks and fractures, splints or casts may be used to limit mobility and protect the area as the bone mends.
  • Physical Therapy – This is often used alone or with other treatment options to address foot and ankle problems and help patients return to their normal activities.
  • Foot Surgery – While our experienced specialists always try to use the least-invasive treatment methods possible, sometimes foot or ankle surgery may be required to reset bones for severe fractures or breaks or to correct other conditions.
