Our foot and ankle providers at Catalyst Medical Group are recognized experts in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle injuries and conditions.
As the foundation for your lower body’s movement, the foot, ankle, and their numerous bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles can be a source of significant pain. Foot and ankle pain is commonly associated with trauma and sports-related injuries, such as a fracture or an injury to the ligaments, such as a sprain. However, agitation and discomfort may also occur due to overuse injuries, which can range from mild joint pain and stress fractures to Achilles tendonitis (medically referred to as tendinitis).
If you think you may be suffering from a foot or ankle injury or condition and are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, it may be time to visit a foot and ankle specialist.
- Numbness in the foot
- Sudden intense pain
- Pain when you’re NOT bearing weight
- Pain that persists for more than two weeks
- Change in sensation or color of skin or toenail
- Swelling or tenderness that persists or worsens after 2 – 3 days
- Limited range of motion due to stiffness, weakness, or swelling
- If the afflicted area looks deformed or if you have lost function
You should also seek treatment with a foot and ankle specialist if you begin to feel feverish or if the area reddens, becomes warmer, and feels even more sensitive, as these are signs of an infection.
Due to the constant stress and frequency of use in your feet and ankles, foot and ankle pain generally does not subside without treatment. At Catalyst Medical Group, our foot and ankle providers understand that proper diagnosis is paramount in determining the most effective treatment plan for your individual condition.
