Plantar Fasciitis
Do you feel pain in the arch or heel of your foot when getting out of bed in the morning or after sitting for too long? Maybe your arch or heel start to hurt at the end of the day. The most common culprit of this pain is usually Plantar Fasciitis. Dr. Kane will review all treatment options with you to help relieve the pain and address your symptoms.
Achilles Tendinitis
Achilles tendon pain is typically caused by Achilles tendonitis – an inflammation or swelling of the Achilles tendon – and is usually the result of a strain or overuse. There are numerous non-surgical options to help relive the pain such as immobilizing your ankle, anti-inflammatories, orthotics, and more.
Ankle Sprain
Ankle sprains are the most common sports injury, accounting for 60% of all sport-related injuries. Unfortunately, many patients do not attempt to receive the appropriate treatment needed after a sprain. It’s important to have your ankle injury evaluated to avoid long term issues that can lead to chronic ankle instability.
