Treatment includes addressing pain in the foot and ankle, ligament injuries, deformities, and cartilage problems. In most cases, non-surgical methods are considered first.
1 min readPatient information
The foot and ankle are among the most complex and weight-bearing areas of the body. Problems in this area directly affect walking, balance, and daily life.
When to consider it?
Evaluation is necessary for chronic ankle pain, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, hallux valgus (bunion), flat feet, heel spurs, and certain deformities.
Treatment approach
In most patients, non-surgical methods (appropriate footwear, orthotics, physical therapy, injections) are tried first. If these approaches are insufficient, arthroscopic or open surgical options may be considered. Treatment is planned according to the individual's activity level and expectations.
About the process
Post-surgical weight-bearing and recovery time varies depending on the method used. Early protection and strengthening exercises are important afterwards.
You can schedule a personalized evaluation appointment for your foot or ankle complaints.
