Foot & Ankle
Foot and Ankle: Common Conditions and Care
The foot and ankle comprise a complex structure of bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles, essential for balance, mobility, and weight-bearing. Injuries and conditions affecting these structures can significantly impair daily activities and quality of life.
Common Conditions:
- Sprains and Strains: Often caused by twisting injuries, leading to ligament or muscle damage.
- Fractures: Bone breaks in the foot or ankle, commonly resulting from trauma.
- Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the plantar fascia, causing heel pain.
- Achilles Tendinitis: Overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, leading to pain and stiffness.
