Most Common Foot and Ankle Injuries 

You may find it taxing to move around because of foot and ankle problems that hurt, irritate, or are uncomfortable. While some foot conditions have minor symptoms, others can make it challenging to lead an active, healthy lifestyle. Frequent foot and ankle injuries treated by our Regional Foot and Ankle Specialists Podiatrists include neuromas, a painful condition that feels like a pinched nerve and often results from tight footwear. Other feet and ankle injuries include foot strains caused by plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the fascia), heel spurs (calcium deposits on the heel bone), and bunions, also caused by improper footwear. Achilles tendonitis and ankle sprains are also on the list due to overstretching of ligaments. Treatment for your injury will depend on the type, cause, and severity.
