Ankle and Foot Pain Help Near Me

Foot and ankle pain can disrupt almost every part of your daily routine—from the first step out of bed to the last hour on your feet at work.

When You Should Seek Help for Foot or Ankle Pain

Pain That Lasts More Than a Few Days

If rest, ice, or over-the-counter care hasn’t helped after 3–5 days, your pain may require deeper evaluation. Persistent discomfort could be a sign of tissue damage, inflammation, or improper healing.

Swelling, Bruising, or Instability

Visible swelling or bruising, especially around the ankle or heel, may point to a sprain, tendon strain, or joint injury. Feeling like your foot or ankle is going to “give out” means the area lacks support—and needs treatment.

Difficulty Walking or Bearing Weight

If you're limping, avoiding stairs, or shifting your weight constantly, it's time to consult a specialist. Changes in your gait can also lead to pain in the knees, hips, or back over time.

Burning, Tingling, or Numbness

These are signs of nerve involvement—often linked to diabetic neuropathy, nerve compression, or circulation issues. Left untreated, they may worsen and increase your risk of falls or injury.

Previous Injuries That Never Fully Healed

A history of ankle sprains, tendonitis, or foot fractures can leave behind scar tissue or instability, making re-injury more likely. Early intervention can strengthen and stabilize the area before it worsens.

The Sooner You Seek Help, the Better the Outcome

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, early diagnosis means more treatment options—and a greater chance of avoiding surgery or long-term limitations. With clinics throughout metro Atlanta, you don’t have to travel far to get answers and a personalized plan for relief.

How Medici Diagnoses Foot & Ankle Pain

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we know that effective treatment begins with a precise diagnosis. Many patients come to us after months—or even years—of struggling with misdiagnosed or unresolved pain. That’s why we take the time to carefully evaluate every possible contributor to your condition, so we can treat the source of your pain, not just the symptoms.

Thorough Health and Pain History Review

We begin by listening. Your Medici provider will discuss:

  • When and how your pain began
  • Specific triggers or movements that worsen symptoms
  • Your activity level, medical history, job demands, and prior injuries

This helps us build a clear understanding of your condition within the context of your lifestyle, not just a chart.

On-Site Imaging (X-rays, Ultrasound, MRI as Needed)

Depending on your symptoms, we may use advanced diagnostic tools to confirm or rule out certain conditions:

  • Digital X-rays to evaluate bone structure, alignment, or signs of arthritis
  • Musculoskeletal ultrasound to visualize soft tissue damage like tendonitis or tears
  • MRI scans for deeper, high-detail images when needed for chronic or complex cases

Having imaging capabilities in-house saves you time and allows for faster diagnosis and treatment planning.

Gait and Biomechanical Evaluation

Your feet and ankles are the foundation of your movement. Our specialists assess your:

  • Walking pattern (gait)
  • Foot arch structure
  • Weight distribution and joint alignment

This helps identify issues like flat feet, overpronation, or instability that may be causing or worsening your pain.

Multidisciplinary Evaluation by Orthopaedic and Pain Specialists

What makes Medici unique is our collaborative, team-based approach. You don’t just see one doctor—we bring together:

  • Board-certified orthopaedic experts
  • Pain management physicians
  • Physical therapists and rehab specialists

This integrated model ensures every angle is considered, and your treatment plan is tailored to your specific condition, lifestyle, and goals.

Non-Surgical Foot & Ankle Pain Relief Options Near You

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we believe that most foot and ankle pain can be successfully treated without the need for surgery or heavy medication. Our non-surgical treatments are tailored to each patient’s condition, lifestyle, and recovery goals—offering long-term relief and faster recovery with minimal risk or downtime.

Physical Therapy & Gait Correction

Personalized rehabilitation is the cornerstone of lasting recovery. Our experienced physical therapists design custom programs to address:

  • Weakness or instability in the foot and ankle
  • Tight muscles or limited range of motion
  • Abnormal gait (walking patterns) that may be contributing to pain

You'll also receive expert guidance on proper footwear, orthotic use, and posture corrections to reduce stress on painful joints and prevent future injuries.

Image-Guided Injections

In cases of inflammation or soft tissue injury, precise injections can provide fast, effective relief—especially when other conservative methods haven’t resolved the issue.

We offer:

  • Cortisone injections to reduce inflammation in tendons, joints, and soft tissue
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to stimulate your body’s healing response using your own blood components
  • Prolotherapy, which promotes ligament and tendon repair through targeted irritation and natural tissue regeneration

All injections are performed with imaging guidance to ensure accuracy, safety, and maximum benefit.

Custom Orthotics & Bracing

Foot structure and alignment play a major role in chronic foot and ankle pain. At Medici, we provide custom-designed orthotics and bracing that offer:

  • Arch support
  • Pressure relief for sore or inflamed areas
  • Improved biomechanics and gait stability

Orthotics are especially helpful for conditions like:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Arthritis-related joint pain
  • Flat feet or high arches

By correcting alignment and improving support, these devices help you move more comfortably and with less risk of re-injury.

Manual Therapy & Myofascial Release

Chronic tension in the muscles and fascia of the feet and lower legs can contribute to pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Our providers use hands-on manual therapy techniques to:

  • Release tight or knotted tissue
  • Improve circulation to affected areas
  • Restore joint mobility and natural movement patterns

Myofascial release is often combined with physical therapy and gait correction for more comprehensive and lasting relief, especially in patients with plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, or previous soft tissue injuries.

Regenerative Medicine

If you’re looking for a natural, surgery-sparing way to recover from chronic tendon or ligament injuries, regenerative medicine may be the solution.

We offer:

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Uses growth factors from your own blood to accelerate healing in damaged or inflamed tissue
  • Prolotherapy: An injection-based therapy that stimulates the body’s natural repair process for weakened ligaments and tendons

These options are ideal for patients with conditions like chronic ankle instability, plantar fasciitis, or tendonitis who want to avoid surgery.

Neuropathy Management

Nerve-related pain in the feet can feel like burning, tingling, numbness, or shooting discomfort—often made worse by diabetes or circulatory problems. At Medici, we offer targeted neuropathy care that combines:

  • Nerve blocks to reduce pain signaling
  • Non-opioid medications to manage chronic nerve symptoms
  • Physical therapy to improve strength, circulation, and balance

Our goal is to relieve symptoms, protect foot health, and restore function for long-term mobility.
