Since our clinic was founded in 1949, we have helped countless people – young and old alike – in Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and other nearby FL cities to maximize their mobility and live active, independent lives. For ankle injury treatment, we offer state-of-the-art orthopaedic care and rehabilitative services tailored specifically to meet each patient’s individual lifestyle.
To treat your ankle injury, our doctors may use a variety of progressive conservative and surgical methods to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion to the ligaments, tendons, muscles, and bones that constitute the complex structure of your ankle. An extremely stable joint, the ankle is designed withstand 1.5 times the body weight when walking, and up to eight times the body weight when running! Conditions that disturb the normal function of the ankle make it difficult to engage in regular activities without pain or problems. If you experience such symptoms, it’s wise to seek treatment from a qualified foot and ankle clinic, such as Tampa Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Group. Following a thorough evaluation of your ankle injury, our doctor, Arnold Ramirez, M.D., who is Board-certified and one of the most well-respected sports medicine authorities in Tampa, may recommend:
- Physical therapy
- Viscosupplementation
- Ultrasound therapy
- Cortisone injections
- Platelet rich plasma therapy
- Fracture surgery
- And more
In the event Dr. Ramirez recommends surgery for your ankle injury, our doctor, Daniel Murphy, M.D., who is Board-certified in orthopaedic surgery and a proud member of the Florida Orthopaedic Society, will work closely with you to ensure that you fully understand your condition and the treatment options available to you. Dr. Murphy, Dr. Ramirez, and their exceptional staff of physical therapists, nurses, and medical assistants will work together to create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
