Question 1

Foot & Ankle Care

Accepted Answer

The foot and ankle together make a complex “machine” of 26 bones and joints, working together to keep you moving.In the best of times, all the individual pieces work together just right.  In the worst of times – like when you’re experiencing foot pain – life can be miserable. Our daily dependence on our feet and ankles means even minor problems can lead to immobility and have a major impact on quality of life. Normal activities we take for granted like getting from your car to your front door can become a challenge.From the moment you learn to walk, you expect your feet and ankles to work – supporting your weight and keeping you mobile. It’s the body’s foundation and must withstand tremendous weight-bearing forces, and at the same time, be of such intricate and complex structural design to provide the mechanical advantage necessary for everyday movements.Whether you're suffering from a common sports injury, or complex fracture, or pain from the effects of normal wear and tear, these critical bones deserve expert care. Proper and timely treatment when you feel pain are key. Instant Ortho clinicians are available on demand and specialize in diagnosis and treatment for a variety of conditions ranging from sports injuries to trauma related to the foot and ankle in both adults and children.
