Foot & Ankle Urgent Conditions
Foot and ankle injuries can cause sudden pain, swelling, and difficulty walking, often requiring immediate medical attention. Urgent foot and ankle conditions commonly result from falls, sports injuries, twisting movements, or direct trauma and may affect bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, or soft tissues.
Ankle Sprains
A sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments. Ligaments connect adjacent bones and provide stability to a joint.
Achilles Tendon Rupture
The Achilles tendon is a strong fibrous cord present behind the ankle that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It is used when you walk, run and jump.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis refers to the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that is present at the bottom of the foot.
Heel Pain
Heel pain is a common symptom of excessive strain placed on the structures that form the heel.
