Answers to FAQs About Foot and Ankle Conditions and Treatment

When should I visit a doctor for a foot or ankle condition?

We recommend that you make an appointment if you have suffered from an injury or have chronic or worsening pain, swelling, stiffness, or loss of mobility or range of motion. You should also schedule a visit if you have been diagnosed with a chronic foot or ankle condition or are at risk of one and want to make proactive lifestyle changes to lower your risk.

How do you diagnose injuries or conditions?

We will conduct a thorough intake and evaluation to assess your symptoms, lifestyle, medical and health history, and condition. We will give you a physical examination and may recommend an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan to diagnose or rule out injuries or certain conditions.

When is surgery required for a foot or ankle issue?

While we will make every attempt to treat your condition with conservative or minimally invasive therapies first, there are some situations that require surgical intervention. If you have a severe fracture, chronic instability, or a condition that does not respond to non-surgical care, we will help you explore your options.

Why do I have foot or heel pain?

If you have foot or heel pain, particularly in the morning, you may have plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. Any time you have recurring or persistent pain, you should visit a qualified medical professional for an examination and diagnosis. Our experienced foot and ankle physicians can determine the root cause of your pain and offer solutions that improve your quality of life.

How do I know if I have a sprained or broken ankle?

Both conditions can cause pain, swelling, and bruising. At the time of injury, a sprain may cause a popping noise, while a break may cause a cracking noise. If your foot or ankle looks crooked or bent, if you have numbness or tingling, and if you can’t move the ankle or foot or put weight on it, it may be broken. We recommend that you make an appointment if you aren’t sure how serious your injury is, or if your symptoms persist or worsen over three or more days.
