Foot and ankle pain can be more than just a nuisance—it can disrupt every part of your day.

Whether from a sudden twist or repetitive strain, ankle sprains and ligament injuries can cause lingering pain, swelling, and instability. Without proper treatment, these injuries often heal improperly and increase the risk of future problems.
Overuse or improper foot mechanics can lead to inflammation of the Achilles tendon, causing sharp or aching pain at the back of the heel—especially during activity. Runners, athletes, and those who stand for long periods are especially at risk.
One of the most common foot pain conditions, plantar fasciitis causes stabbing heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning. It’s often caused by overuse, poor footwear, or lack of foot support.
Degenerative changes in the joints due to osteoarthritis or inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis can lead to chronic stiffness, swelling, and joint pain in the ankles, toes, and midfoot.
Structural issues like fallen arches or pronation problems can place extra stress on the ankles, heels, and toes—contributing to long-term joint and tendon pain if not corrected.
Bony changes, misalignments, and toe deformities such as bunions or hammertoes can make walking painful and reduce mobility. Left untreated, they may worsen over time and affect the way you walk.
Repetitive activities like running, jumping, climbing, or prolonged standing can strain tendons, ligaments, and muscles in the foot and ankle—leading to inflammation, stress fractures, or chronic pain if rest and rehab are neglected.
Patients with diabetes or nerve conditions often experience burning, tingling, or numbness in the feet. This type of neuropathic pain can be debilitating and requires specialized, ongoing care to manage safely and effectively.
If your discomfort persists or keeps returning, it could signal an underlying issue like tendon inflammation, joint degeneration, or a stress injury that needs expert evaluation.
These are warning signs of a possible sprain, ligament tear, or fracture. Continuing to walk on an injured foot or ankle can worsen the damage without proper treatment.
Ongoing pain during walking, standing, or exercise may suggest a biomechanical problem or chronic overuse injury that will only progress if ignored.
Difficulty flexing, pointing, or rotating the foot or ankle may indicate arthritis, scar tissue buildup, or a tendon disorder that requires targeted therapy.
These symptoms often point to nerve-related issues like diabetic neuropathy or nerve impingement—conditions that need specialized care to prevent long-term complications.
If you’ve suffered a sprain, break, or tendon injury in the past and still feel instability or pain, you may be dealing with residual weakness or scar tissue that can be corrected with the right plan.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our goal is to relieve your pain and restore your mobility without surgery whenever possible. We specialize in advanced, minimally invasive treatments that promote healing, reduce inflammation, and correct underlying imbalances—so you can walk, run, and move with confidence again.
