The Elite Sports Medicine and Orthopedics team takes a conservative approach to treatment. Depending on the cause of your foot and ankle pain, non-surgical treatment may include:
- Physical therapy and stretching exercises
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Steroid injections
- Custom orthotics
- Changes in footwear
- Wearing a walking boot or brace
- Using assistive devices like crutches
- Casting or splinting
- Activity modification
- Padding or strapping the foot
If your pain is severe or conservative treatment doesn’t work, our foot specialists may recommend surgery. The expert team at Elite Sports Medicine and Orthopedics performs all types of foot and ankle surgeries, including Achilles tendon repair, ankle fusion, flat foot reconstruction surgery, and total ankle replacement.
