When Should You See a Foot and Ankle Doctor?

The foot and ankle form a complex mosaic of interconnected ligaments, bones, and tissues. Its structure includes bigger bones like the tibia - which connects your leg to your foot - to the small outer phalanges that make up your pinky toes. Your foot and ankle also contain nerves, tendons, muscles all to help give you the ability to be mobile.

Most people will experience foot or ankle pain in their life that can limit mobility and quality of life. While some conditions or injuries will clearly require a visit to a foot and ankle specialist, other problems may not be so obvious. If you experience any of the following symptoms of foot pain, you should schedule an appointment with a Resurgens physician:

  • A serious injury such as a sprain or broken bone
  • Any pain in the foot or lower leg
  • An abnormal growth
  • Discomfort when standing for more than a few minutes
  • Changes in how your foot or ankle looks, such as color or swelling
  • The onset of a medical condition such as poor circulation or diabetes

If you experience chronic pain, joint swelling, or other discomforts that interfere with your daily routine, it is imperative to see a medical professional. Schedule an appointment with a board-certified fellowship-trained Resurgens physician today.
