Pain in your feet or ankles doesn’t just stay below the knees—it can impact your entire life. Every step becomes uncomfortable. Workdays feel longer. Exercise becomes frustrating. Even restful sleep is harder to come by when you're constantly adjusting your foot position to avoid discomfort. Whether it’s sharp heel pain, lingering ankle stiffness, or burning nerve sensations, foot and ankle pain can quickly rob you of your freedom, focus, and mobility.
These issues affect people of all ages in the Snellville community and beyond, including:
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we recognize that no two cases are alike—and that surgery is not always the best answer.

At our Snellville clinic, located on Wisteria Drive, we make it easy for you to access high-level orthopedic care without traveling far.
Ankle sprains are among the most common musculoskeletal injuries—especially in athletes and active individuals. Without proper care, even minor sprains can lead to chronic instability and recurring pain.
Inflammation or microtears in the Achilles tendon can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the back of the heel. It’s often caused by overuse or tight calf muscles and can worsen without targeted therapy.
This is one of the leading causes of heel pain, resulting from inflammation in the thick band of tissue that supports your arch. It’s especially painful first thing in the morning or after long periods of standing.
Degenerative joint damage or autoimmune inflammation in the feet and ankles can lead to pain, swelling, and stiffness—making it harder to walk or wear shoes comfortably.
Foot structure plays a major role in how you walk and distribute weight. Poor alignment can lead to pain in the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back over time.
Structural deformities can be both painful and progressive. Early intervention with conservative care can help reduce discomfort and slow advancement.
From stress fractures to tendon strain, repetitive motions and high-impact activity can take a toll on your feet and ankles. We treat both acute and chronic injuries for athletes and active patients of all ages.
Numbness, tingling, or burning pain in the feet can signal nerve damage—often related to diabetes or circulation issues. Left untreated, neuropathy can lead to balance issues, wounds, or more serious complications.
We begin by listening. Your provider will take a full medical history, ask about your lifestyle, activity level, work habits, past injuries, and specific symptoms. Whether your pain comes and goes or is constant, these insights help us understand your unique case and narrow down potential causes.
Depending on your condition, we may perform or order imaging right in our clinic.
This may include:
This technology allows us to make fast, informed decisions—without sending you all over town.
How you walk matters. Subtle abnormalities in your gait or foot mechanics can contribute to pain in the feet, ankles, knees, and even hips or back. We assess how your feet function during movement to identify alignment issues, pronation problems, and imbalances that need correction.
You won’t just see one provider—you’ll benefit from a collaborative team of:
