Ankle
As the region’s most preferred orthopedic practice, OrthoArizona has a team of ankle doctors who are exceptional experts and leaders in diagnosing and treating ankle injuries and conditions.
Ankle pain is common and affects individuals across various ages and activity levels. While minor discomfort might subside without intervention, ongoing or intensifying pain can indicate a more serious underlying issue. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential for effective management and prevention of future complications. Seeing an ankle doctor ensures a thorough evaluation to identify the cause of your pain, whether it is from sports injuries, accidents, or degenerative conditions that develop over time.
Regardless of the type of ankle pain, it is important to consult a medical professional who can accurately diagnose the injury or condition and offer treatment options for pain relief, helping you return to a healthy and active lifestyle.
When Is It Time to Seek Care From an Expert?
Deciding when to seek an expert is a hard thing to do by yourself. You should schedule an appointment if you or a loved one experiences any of the following symptoms:
- Aches or weakness in your ankle
- Loss of control over foot movements
- Standing or walking increases ankle pain or discomfort
- Swelling or bruising around the ankle
- Pain, tingling, or numbness extending from your ankle to your foot
- Persistent ankle pain
When choosing the right doctor for your injury or condition, it's important to consider factors such as professional training and expertise. Our ankle doctors are highly trained specialists with extensive experience. They can identify the cause of your symptoms and determine if they indicate a serious injury or condition. Our ankle experts most commonly treat the following conditions:
- Achilles tendon disorders
- Ankle fractures
- Ankle instability
- Ankle arthritis
- Ankle sprains
Our team of specialty-trained ankle doctors offers a comprehensive range of treatments, which includes:
- Ankle arthroscopy
- Minimally invasive procedures
- Orthopedic bracing and supports
- Physical therapy
- Surgical reconstruction
- Tendon repair
Our ankle doctors prioritize conservative treatment approaches for your ankle injury or condition. However, if nonsurgical methods do not provide sufficient pain relief, surgery may be necessary to restore your health. If surgery is required, our ankle doctors will collaborate with you to determine the most appropriate procedure for your needs.
