Foot & Ankle Conditions, made easier to understand.
Your feet and ankles carry your weight through almost every step of the day. When the heel, arch, or Achilles tendon becomes painful, walking and exercise can quickly feel difficult. This page explains the foot and ankle conditions we treat, the signs to notice, and the care options that may help you move comfortably again.
Conditions we treat under Foot & Ankle
Two common foot concerns. One clear guide.
Select a condition to learn what it is, which symptoms may appear, how it can be diagnosed, and the treatment approaches that may help.
Plantar Fasciitis
Irritation of the strong band of tissue that supports the arch and connects the heel bone to the toes.
What is Plantar Fasciitis ?
The plantar fascia is a strong band of tissue running from the heel bone toward the toes. It supports the arch of the foot and absorbs pressure while you stand or walk. Repeated strain can create tiny tears, leaving the tissue irritated, weak, or swollen.
Plantar fasciitis is common in middle-aged adults, but it also affects runners, athletes, soldiers, and anyone who spends long hours on their feet. The pain is usually felt under the heel or along the bottom of the foot.
Signs to watch for
Diagnosis
Diagnosis usually starts with questions about when the pain appears and what activities make it better or worse. The clinician may examine the foot, check tender areas, study the arch, and watch how you stand and walk. Imaging is not always needed unless another cause of heel pain is suspected.

Achilles Tendonitis
An overuse injury affecting the strong tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone.
What is a Achilles Tendonitis?
The Achilles tendon is the strong band of tissue connecting the calf muscles at the back of the lower leg to the heel bone. Achilles tendonitis develops when repeated stress irritates this tendon, often after training intensity or exercise duration increases too quickly.
It commonly affects runners and middle-aged people who play sports such as tennis or basketball. Most cases can be managed with simple care and a gradual return to activity under professional guidance.
Symptoms
Diagnosis
A clinician may check the tendon for swelling, warmth, thickening, tenderness, and changes in ankle movement. Your recent training or activity pattern is also important. X-rays can rule out other problems, while ultrasound or MRI may be used to examine tendon movement and damage in greater detail.
