  • How do you fix a broken ankle?

    Seek immediate medical evaluation by a qualified foot and ankle specialist. If there is a fracture of any kind, the injured ligaments and fragments need to be properly treated to ensure stable ankle alignment and healing. Without proper treatment, chronic ankle malalignment and instability will lead to irreversible post-traumatic arthritis that will greatly limit function and treatment options later. READ MORE

  • Should I ice my heel injury?

    Apply the RICE treatment for most injuries. R- rest (decrease activities, avoid any activities that exacerbate pain) I- ice (directly over the injured area if tolerable or behind the knee- 20min/hr) C- compression (apply mild compression with an ACE wrap if able) E- elevate (keep injured area above the level of the heart to allow for gravity to assist with swelling reduction) Once the acute pain has been addressed, having the injury evaluated by a qualified foot and ankle specialist is essential to make sure the injury is being properly diagnosed and treated. READ MORE

  • What is good for ankle pain?

    A thorough evaluation to ensure that the injury is not being neglected that may cause chronic problems. If there is bruising, swelling, and pain associated with walking, then immediate evaluation is recommended by a qualified foot and ankle specialist. Such findings may indicate fracture to the ankle or foot, rupture to ankle ligaments, tendon injury, or cartilage injury within the ankle joint. Neglected management could result in irreversible joint problems or lead to chronic ankle instability. READ MORE

  • What is wrong with my feet

    Your history of nail color changes suggest that you are developing microtrauma to the toenails possibly from wearing tight-fitting shoes such that they are either too narrow or too short. In terms of what can cause this, the two most common reasons are microtrauma and nail fungus. The only definitive way to differentiate between the two is to get a nail biopsy from a podiatrist. In the event this is microtrauma, the dark discoloration may be dried blood under the nail that will naturally grow out with the nail. The typical timeframe for the nail to grow out from the cuticle area is about 9-12mo. I would suggest taking pictures every 2-3mo to track the outgrowth. If there is any pain associated with this, then I would get it checked out sooner with your podiatrist. READ MORE

  • Ingrown toenail removal months later

    Having some bleeding under the nail as it grows out is perfectly normal. New nail begins to show about 3-4mo after the procedure. It will take anywhere from 9-12mo for the entire nail to have grown out since the procedure. Recommend monitoring the dark patch and taking a picture every 2-3mo to ensure it is growing out. If so, hang tight. If not, return back to the office and have them reevaluate. READ MORE

  • Will i always have a limp now

    the nature of the symptoms suggest you have a nerve problem, most likely coming from your hip. this could be due to change in the way you are walking after the injury. I would contact your primary physician to have a more thorough check to make sure the cellulitis has resolved and there is no infection first and then discuss treatment options for your other symptoms. READ MORE

  • How can I fix my heel pain?

    cause of heel pain can vary depending on location and nature. most commonly, pain on the back of the heel at the achilles tendon insertion is due to tight achilles tendon. pain on the bottom of the heel is most commonly plantar fasciitis. if you are having pain initially when standing that improves with some walking, then it is probably one of the two depending on the location of your pain. however, if you have pain in the heel area at rest, then more workup is needed to ensure you do not have a nerve condition. other possible options can be a stress fracture or bone tumor depending on the symptoms. radiographic evaluation and workup by a qualified podiatric surgeon will provide a more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. READ MORE

  • What helps with a bunion on the side of the feet?

    If there is a prominence on the outer side of the foot behind the fifth toe, then this condition is called a Tailor's bunion. This condition is often associated with shoegear irritation with formation of a bursa that can be painful. Radiographs will show the shape of the metatarsal bone behind the fifth toe and if it is enlarged, bowed outward, or if there are other contributing factors. Wearing wider shoes can provide some relief conservatively. However, if there is structural factors to the Tailor's bunion, then surgery can be considered. READ MORE

  • How long is recovery from a broken ankle?

    Ankle fractures can have varying degrees of severity depending on how many bones were broken and how much injury was sustained by the ankle ligaments. The majority of ankle fractures typically can take up to six weeks of immobilization. Most of the time you will need to be nonweightbearing. When enough bone healing is noted on radiographs, typically around six weeks, then patients can start protected weightbearing. A foot and ankle specialist will be able to determine if additional immobilization will be needed or if physical therapy can be started. Recovery from most ankle fractures can take up to one year for full recovery, but most patients are starting to return to casual activities around three months. Again, a foot and ankle specialist should be consulted to determine proper timing to return to regular activities. READ MORE

  • How often should you see a chiropractor for ankle pain?

    Chiropractic care can be very helpful, but you need to know what condition is being treated. Ankle stiffness following surgery and a minor injury can be helped with manipulation. Ankle pain can come from instability, tendinitis, or arthritis. These conditions require further workup before any form of therapy as it may make the condition worse. READ MORE

  • Can heel spur be fixed with surgery?

    Heel spurs may be associated with a condition called plantar fasciitis which is a ligament condition. The plantar fasciitis can usually be successfully managed with conservative care regardless of the presence of a heel spur. Getting the proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment can resolve most heel pain without having to address the presence of a heel spur. READ MORE

  • Does ankle dislocation need surgery?

    Ankle dislocations typically will result in injury to the ankle ligaments around the ankle joint. The severity of the soft tissue injury will dictate the type of treatment needed. Radiographs and MRI will be able to assess the extent of the injury before considering surgical intervention. READ MORE
