Foot and ankle care

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel to your toes. It's one of the most common causes of heel pain, especially first thing in the morning. Our specialists can pinpoint the cause and recommend the right plantar fasciitis treatment for you, from stretches and self-care to injections or surgery if needed. 

Gentle calf stretches, rolling a tennis ball under your foot and toe stretches can all help ease plantar fasciitis pain. Rest, supportive shoes and ice go a long way too. If pain persists after a few weeks, our foot and ankle specialists can step in with advanced treatment options. 

Bunions develop when the joint at the base of your big toe shifts out of place, creating a bony bump. Treatment starts with nonsurgical options — wider shoes, orthotics and padding. If pain continues, bunionectomy surgery can realign the joint and bring relief. Our podiatrists and foot and ankle surgeons will help you find the right path.

For a mild sprain, start with the RICE method — rest, ice, compression and elevation. But if you have severe swelling, can't bear weight or the pain isn't improving, it's time to see a specialist. Our team can assess the injury, rule out a fracture and guide your recovery, whether that means physical therapy or ankle ligament reconstruction.
