Foot and ankle conditions are common, but that doesn’t mean you have to endure them. Schedule an appointment with Elite’s Franklin and Nashville foot and ankle specialists if you suffer severe or persistent pain.

For mild to moderate foot and ankle pain, you may want to try home remedies such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), and over-the-counter pain relievers. If you try at-home treatments for a few days and your pain persists, you should quickly see a foot and ankle specialist in Nashville, Tennessee. Here are some common ways to determine if you need professional help:

  • Infection
  • Sudden, unexplainable swelling
  • Severely limited movement
  • Recurring athlete’s foot

Contact a foot doctor any time you believe your pain is abnormal to improve the recovery process.
