FOOT & ANKLE

Ankle Injuries & Foot Pain Solutions & Treatments

The foot and ankle are comprised of 26 bones, over 30 joints, and multiple ligaments and tendons. They are specifically designed to absorb shock and propel us forward when we walk or run, which makes them essential to everyday movements. However, the repetitive nature of walking, running, and jumping make the foot and ankle highly prone to injury, both acute and chronic. When you combine the high usage with the responsibility of bearing the brunt of our body’s weight, it becomes clear why so many people suffer with foot and ankle pain and/or injuries that require treatment.

At Mid-America Orthopedics, we offer custom treatment plans for all varieties of foot and ankle injuries, including acute and chronic ankle/foot pain. During your initial appointment, our orthopedic doctors and physicians will evaluate your foot and ankle to identify the cause(s) of your symptoms. Our specialists will then recommend a specialized treatment plan that is customized specifically for you.

Every foot and/or ankle injury is unique, so the treatment options your orthopedic doctor or physician recommends will be specific to you. It may be as simple as performing at-home treatment such as rest, ice, anti-inflammatories, and activity modification. For more serious conditions, your orthopedic doctor may recommend physical therapy, injections, prescription medications, orthotics, or bracing. If those methods don’t work, your orthopedic specialist may recommend surgery, which is a last resort form of treatment.

However, you can rest easy knowing that Mid-America Orthopedics has the best orthopedic surgeons in Wichita, KS. Our practice has both foot surgeons and ankle surgeons with decades of combined experience working with a wide variety of patients.
