Foot injury treatment may be necessary for a variety of reasons. Comprised of 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments, your foot is a complex structure that continually performs an important job: to provide your body with balance, support, and mobility. With each step you take, one and one-half times your entire body weight is placed on your foot – and the average pair of feet takes an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 steps each day! When you add to that the potential for sports injury to the foot, it’s no wonder that your feet are more vulnerable to damage than any other part of your body. Therefore, if you experience pain in your foot, it’s wise to seek treatment from a foot and ankle clinic.
Our clinic specializes in both surgical and non-surgical orthopaedic foot injury treatment. Dr. Ramirez, our Board-certified sports medicine doctor, will carefully evaluate your condition to determine whether you may benefit from conservative therapy, such as anti-inflammatory injections, viscosupplementation, pharmacological therapy, and physical therapy. If you require surgical treatment, you will be in good hands with Dr. Murphy, our Board-certified orthopaedic surgeon. Dr. Murphy will discuss your options in detail, including the risks and benefits of each, and answer all of your questions in a comfortable, welcoming environment.
Some of the common conditions for which foot injury treatment is available at our clinic include:
