Foot & Ankle
The Foot & Ankle
Your feet and ankles play a crucial role in maintaining your mobility and overall well-being. The foot and ankle are complex structures comprised of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles that work together to support your body weight and facilitate movement.
At Southern Oregon Orthopedics, our foot and ankle surgeon in Medford, Oregon, offers a wide range of services that focus on the health and function of your feet and ankles.
Do I Need to See a Foot & Ankle Expert?
You can injure any of the structures in your feet and ankles in a fall or auto accident, or you can overuse them while participating in sports and other high-impact activities. Your feet and ankles can also become painful as you age or as the result of underlying degenerative medical conditions.
Minor foot and ankle problems, like strains and sprains, might heal on their own with rest, over-the-counter medications, heat, and ice.
If these therapies aren’t enough to relieve your symptoms or if you experience chronic pain from arthritis, deformities, or other serious conditions, you should schedule an appointment with the team at Southern Oregon Orthopedics. Our doctors can properly diagnose the cause of your symptoms and customize a treatment plan to prevent your condition from worsening.
Foot and ankle pain can arise from various conditions, including:
- Ankle instability
- Arthritis
- Bunions
- Deformities
- Fractures
- Impingement
- Infections
- Soft-tissue sprains, strains, and tears
