Achilles Tendon

Achilles Tendon

The Achilles Tendon is the band of tissue that attaches the calf muscle to the back of the heel bone. It is located behind the ankle and is visible as a tight, cordlike structure. This tendon is extremely important for walking and especially for performing athletic activities as it is responsible for pushing off and standing on toes. Therefore, problems with the Achilles Tendon need to be addressed appropriately.

Ankle Arthritis

Ankle Arthritis

Ankle arthritis often results from an injury, such as a sprain or fracture, but can also be caused by a systemic condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis. While arthritis can occur in any joint in your body, it is common in the small joints that make up the foot and ankle. There is no cure for arthritis, but it can be managed with proper treatment.

Ankle Injuries - Sprain And Fracture

Ankle Injuries - Sprain And Fracture

The ankle is a complex joint that connects the leg to the foot. It is made up of the tibia, fibula and talus. During normal gate and weight bearing, the ankle to weight ratio is under an extreme load due to the relatively small surface area of the talus and the tibia. Therefore, injuries such as a sprained or broken ankle, can result in severe pain with every step

Ankle Pain

Ankle Pain

The ankle joint is affected by almost every weight bearing activity you do on a daily basis. Movements such as walking, standing, climbing stairs, running and dancing all apply pressure and stress on the ankle joint. The ankle joint is made up of the Talus and the long bones in the leg (Tibia & Fibula) which hold the Talus in place.

Gout

Gout

Gout is a type of arthritis that often attacks the foot and ankle. Symptoms include severe pain, redness and swelling around the effected joint with no history of injury or inciting event. Gout is caused by the buildup of uric acid in the blood.

Swollen Legs

Swollen Legs

Many people suffer from swelling in the legs and ankles on a daily basis. There are several different reasons for swelling in the legs which should all be fully worked-up by a trusted podiatrist to treat the underlying conditions.
