Treating ankle sprains in Woodside

At Metropolitan Foot Care we provide ankle sprain treatment in Woodside for patients who have had an injury. Ankle sprains can be painful. If you have suffered an emergency, call us immediately so we can get you in as soon as possible. We have 3 offices, one in Brooklyn, which is open Monday through Friday and on Sundays, one in Corona, and one in Woodside, which is open on Wednesdays.

The patient will usually need an X-ray usually to make sure it is not broken. Healing time from sprains is usually a couple of weeks, during which the patient will need to stay off the foot affected. A sprain can happen in many ways, from fall, injury, or from things like playing contact sports involving the feet. Ankle pain can also be caused by wearing non-supportive footwear, which can put abnormal strain on the plantar fascia which can cause plantar fasciitis. Obesity and long hours on the feet can also contribute to plantar fasciitis. Ankle sprain treatment in Woodside is done right in our offices, along with treatment for heel pain, which is also common in patients and due sometimes to a condition called plantar fasciitis. The condition stems from an inflammation of the band of tissue that extends from the heel to the toes and in which the fascia of the foot become irritated and painful. Treatment for heel pain should include stretching exercises, ice, limited activities, shoe modification and anti-inflammatory meds. Other treatments such as orthotic devices, which are custom made in our offices, night splints and physical therapy help to relieve heel pain and ankle pain as well, with surgery being used as only a last resort.
