Foot & Ankle

Foot and ankle pain is often caused by sudden trauma, but can also be the result of arthritis or a deformity of the bone such as a bunion. Since ligaments do not regenerate on their own, ankles can become unstable as the result of previous sprains. People with unstable ankles can suffer from sudden falls because their ankle(s) “gave out.” Any type of foot or ankle pain can have a significant impact on mobility and quality of life.
