Foot and ankle pain has a way of affecting everything—from the way you walk, to how you work, rest, and stay active. Whether it’s a stabbing pain in your heel, aching in your ankle, or stiffness that limits movement, even the simplest tasks can become uncomfortable or exhausting when your foundation is off balance.
These issues are incredibly common, especially among:

Foot and ankle pain can stem from a variety of causes—from acute injuries to long-term wear and tear. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine in Marietta, our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions that affect your lower extremities—without jumping straight to surgery.
Here are some of the most common issues we help patients overcome:
Whether caused by a misstep or a sports injury, sprains and ligament strains are extremely common—and if not treated properly, they can lead to instability and chronic pain.
Pain or stiffness at the back of the heel is often caused by overuse or tight calf muscles. Achilles tendinitis can worsen without proper rehab and soft tissue support.
One of the top causes of heel pain, plantar fasciitis results from inflammation in the tissue that supports the arch of your foot. It's especially painful in the morning or after long periods of standing.
Degenerative and autoimmune forms of arthritis can affect joints in the feet and ankles, leading to stiffness, swelling, and difficulty walking—especially in older adults.
Structural abnormalities can affect gait, cause muscle fatigue, and lead to long-term pain if not properly supported with therapy, bracing, or orthotics.
Bony deformities in the forefoot can create constant discomfort, especially when wearing shoes or walking. Early intervention can reduce pain and slow progression.
Athletes and active individuals often suffer from repetitive strain or trauma to the feet and ankles. We treat stress fractures, tendon issues, and chronic inflammation with personalized, performance-focused care.
Tingling, numbness, and burning pain in the feet can be signs of neuropathy, especially for patients with diabetes. Our team offers effective, non-opioid solutions for managing nerve-related foot pain safely.
Foot and ankle pain is easy to brush off—until it starts interfering with your ability to walk, work, or stay active. Many people wait too long to get help, thinking the pain will resolve on its own. But early evaluation can mean the difference between short-term relief and long-term damage.
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it’s time to consult a specialist at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine in Marietta:
If rest and home care haven’t resolved your symptoms, there may be an underlying issue like a ligament injury, tendonitis, or arthritis that needs targeted treatment.
Pain while standing or walking may indicate joint instability, soft tissue damage, or inflammation that could worsen without professional care.
Numbness or tingling may suggest nerve involvement, while stiffness can be a sign of early arthritis or inflammation that restricts movement.
Old sprains, fractures, or tendon injuries often lead to chronic weakness or joint misalignment. If pain returns months (or years) later, a deeper evaluation is necessary.
The sooner a problem is identified, the easier it is to treat. Early diagnosis means less downtime, fewer interventions, and a better chance of full recovery—without surgery.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine – Marietta, we believe surgery should be the last resort—not the first. That’s why our care team prioritizes non-surgical, evidence-based treatments that relieve pain, improve function, and support long-term recovery.
Our on-site physical therapy team creates customized exercise and rehab programs designed to strengthen the muscles that support your feet and ankles—reducing stress and preventing reinjury.
We focus on:
Whether you’re recovering from a sprain or managing a chronic condition like plantar fasciitis, physical therapy is a cornerstone of long-term relief.
