Foot and ankle pain doesn’t just slow you down—it can interfere with everything. Whether you’re trying to get through a long shift at work, enjoy your morning jog, chase after your kids, or simply sleep through the night without discomfort, persistent pain in your lower extremities can take a major toll on your quality of life.
This kind of pain is remarkably common across Georgia, affecting people of all ages and backgrounds:
No matter your lifestyle or pain level, one thing is true: you deserve real relief that doesn’t rely on surgery or long-term medication.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our mission is simple: to restore movement, comfort, and confidence using non-surgical, minimally invasive, and compassionate care. We specialize in treating the root causes of foot and ankle pain with personalized plans that help you heal—without the risks or downtime of surgery.

Your journey to lasting relief begins here—and we’ll walk with you every step of the way.
An awkward step, a missed landing, or a rolled ankle can stretch or tear soft tissues, leading to swelling, instability, and long-term pain if not treated properly.
Irritation of the Achilles tendon—often from overuse or poor footwear—causes pain at the back of the heel, particularly during walking, running, or climbing stairs.
A top cause of heel pain, this condition involves inflammation of the thick band of tissue (fascia) that runs along the bottom of your foot. It’s especially painful with your first steps in the morning.
These chronic joint conditions can cause stiffness, swelling, and pain in the ankles, midfoot, or toes. Without care, arthritis can limit mobility and impact balance and posture.
Structural abnormalities in the foot affect how weight is distributed during movement—leading to muscle fatigue, joint stress, and a higher risk of injury over time.
Misalignments and bony changes in the toes or forefoot can cause persistent pain, especially when wearing shoes or walking for long periods.
High-impact activities and repetitive stress can lead to tendinitis, stress fractures, or soft tissue damage—especially in runners, dancers, and athletes of all ages.
Nerve damage from conditions like diabetes can cause burning, tingling, or numbness in the feet—requiring specialized care to prevent further complications.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we know that effective treatment starts with the right diagnosis. That’s why we take a comprehensive, whole-person approach to understanding what’s causing your foot or ankle pain—so we can treat it at the source, not just cover up symptoms.

Surgery isn’t the only way to find relief—and at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, it’s rarely our first recommendation. Our non-surgical treatments are designed to heal, strengthen, and restore function using proven methods that address the root cause of your pain.
Movement is medicine—and the right movement, guided by expert care, can change everything. Our physical therapists create individualized rehabilitation programs that:
We also provide gait training and shoe-wear recommendations to correct poor mechanics that may be contributing to your pain—essential for patients with flat feet, high arches, or repetitive strain injuries.
When pain is driven by inflammation or tissue damage, targeted injections can bring relief and speed up healing—without surgery or long-term medication.

At Medici, we don’t just fit you with a device—we evaluate your movement and lifestyle to make sure your orthotic or brace actually helps you heal and function better.

Manual therapy is often combined with physical therapy and gait retraining to maximize results and support whole-body healing.
When tissue damage or degeneration is at the root of your pain, regenerative medicine can be a game-changer. These treatments stimulate your body’s natural healing response to repair soft tissue and reduce pain—without surgery.
Medici offers:
These minimally invasive, surgery-sparing options are ideal for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, or ankle instability—especially when other treatments haven’t worked.
For patients with nerve-related foot and ankle pain, especially due to diabetes or peripheral neuropathy, Medici provides a specialized, non-opioid approach focused on function, comfort, and long-term control.
Our neuropathy care may include:
Our goal is not just to reduce symptoms—but to help prevent complications like falls, ulcerations, or further nerve damage, especially in diabetic patients.
