Comprehensive care for ankle injuries and chronic conditions. From sprains and fractures to arthritis and instability, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment.
The ankle is a complex joint that connects the leg to the foot, consisting of three bones, multiple ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. Ankle pain can result from acute injuries like sprains and fractures, or develop gradually from chronic conditions like arthritis.
Because ankles bear significant weight and provide mobility, even minor issues can cause substantial pain and limit mobility. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent chronic problems and ensure proper healing.
The most common ankle injury, involving stretched or torn ligaments. Often occurs during sports or when stepping awkwardly.
Breaks in one or more ankle bones. Can range from hairline cracks to complete breaks requiring surgical intervention.

Repeated giving way or rolling of the ankle. Often results from previous sprains that didn't heal properly.
