Foot and ankle injuries can occur unexpectedly, whether from sports, daily activities, or a simple misstep. When they happen, prompt care is essential to prevent complications and ensure a smooth recovery. Conditions like sprains, fractures, dislocations, and severe wounds can all require immediate attention to avoid long-term damage.
Common Foot & Ankle Emergencies
Foot and ankle injuries vary in severity, but some conditions require immediate attention to prevent complications. Here are some common emergencies we treat:
Sprained Ankles: A stretched or torn ligament can cause pain, swelling, and bruising. Untreated, it can lead to instability and long-term issues.
Fractures: Broken bones cause intense pain and swelling. Immediate intervention is needed to realign and stabilize the bone.
Dislocations: When bones in the foot or ankle are forced out of position, they require professional care to avoid further damage.
Wounds & Lacerations: Cuts or puncture wounds can quickly become infected if not treated immediately. Prompt cleaning and care are crucial.
Severe Pain or Swelling: Intense pain or swelling, even without an obvious injury, may signal a serious issue that requires prompt evaluation.
At Foot & Ankle Centers we provide same-day emergency care for foot and ankle injuries. Our expert podiatrists, Dr. Knapp, Dr. Treleven, and Dr. Tavakoli understand the urgency of these issues and are equipped to offer fast, effective treatment to get you back on your feet.
