Foot and Ankle Pain

Foot and ankle pain can affect walking, standing, balance, and daily activity. Symptoms may develop gradually from overuse or occur after an injury.

At Twin Creeks Orthopedics and Regenerative Clinic, we focus on identifying the cause of foot and ankle pain and guiding appropriate nonsurgical care to improve function and reduce discomfort whenever possible.

Many patients seek care when symptoms persist despite rest, medications, or prior treatment.

Same-day appointments may be available for select conditions.

Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar?

• Pain in the foot, heel, or ankle
• Pain with walking or standing
• Swelling or instability
• Stiffness or reduced mobility
• Pain that worsens with activity
• Symptoms not improving with prior treatment

If so, an evaluation may help clarify the cause and next steps.

Common Causes of Foot and Ankle Pain

Foot and ankle pain may result from:

• Plantar fasciitis: irritation of the tissue along the bottom of the foot, often causing heel pain with the first steps in the morning
• Achilles tendonitis: inflammation of the Achilles tendon causing pain in the back of the heel or ankle
• Sprains or ligament injuries to include ankle instability
• Fractures (or break in the bone)
• Tendonitis from overuse or repetitive stress
• Arthritis affecting the foot or ankle joints
• Nerve irritation or compression
• Structural or biomechanical stress

A careful evaluation helps determine the source of symptoms.

When Should You Seek Care?

Early evaluation may help prevent worsening symptoms and improve recovery. Consider scheduling an evaluation if you experience:

• Foot or ankle pain lasting several weeks
• Pain that limits walking or daily activity
• Persistent swelling or instability
• Pain after an injury or fall
• Symptoms that do not improve with rest
