What Are Foot & Ankle Injuries?
Foot and ankle injuries involve damage to the bones, joints, and soft tissues in the feet or ankles, causing pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility. Most people experience some form of foot or ankle injury during their lifetime. Minor injuries, like a stubbed toe, typically resolve with rest and ice. More significant injuries, or those affecting your quality of life, warrant professional evaluation and treatment.
Common Types of Foot & Ankle Injuries
Foot and ankle injuries range from mild sprains and strains to more complex fractures, tendon tears, and joint damage. Common conditions Dr. Huang treats include ankle sprains, stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injuries, and joint arthritis in the foot and ankle.
Foot & Ankle Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the nature and severity of your injury. Dr. Huang typically recommends conservative and minimally invasive approaches first, including:
Rest and ice
Activity modifications
Physical therapy
Custom-fitted orthotics
Cast or splint
Corticosteroid injections
If symptoms persist or worsen, surgical intervention may be considered. Dr. Huang specializes in minimally invasive procedures, including arthroscopy, for foot and ankle conditions that require surgical repair.
