Foot and Ankle

Pain

The foot and ankle are responsible for absorbing our body weight, while also providing us the ability to walk, run, jump, twist and turn. Considering how much we depend on our feet, it's no surprise that they are susceptible to injury from overuse as well as stresses, strains, and fractures. Athletes are especially prone to various foot and ankle trauma. The orthopaedic foot and ankle specialists at Capital Orthopaedics provide a wide range of treatment options (both surgical and non) to get you back on your feet.
