Foot Injuries Q & A

What causes foot injuries?

Foot injuries can be acute, such as if you collide with someone during a sporting event (sports injury) or suffer from car accident trauma, or they can be progressive and develop gradually over time. In either case, one thing’s for certain: Your feet hurt. Some of the most common causes of foot injuries include:

Stress fractures or bone fractures
Bone tumors (osteochondromas)
Achilles tendonitis
Plantar fasciitis
Osteochondritis
Ankle sprains
Shin splints
Heel spurs

Since it’s nearly impossible to completely stay off your feet for long enough to give them a chance to heal, it’s important to get started on treatment as soon as your foot injury or pain occurs.

When should I see a doctor for foot injuries?

Dr. Tran could recommend scheduling an exam at AllCare Foot & Ankle Center any time an acute injury occurs or if you have ongoing foot or ankle pain. It’s especially important to come in if you experience any of the following symptoms:

Stabbing or burning pains
Inflammation, swelling, redness, or bruising
Limited range of motion in your toes or ankle
Inability to bear weight on the affected foot

Dr. Tran can request in-house digital X-rays or ultrasounds to get to the root of your foot injury, so they can get you started on treatment right away.

How are foot injuries treated?

Your foot injury treatment plan from AllCare Foot & Ankle Center depends on your diagnosis and severity of your symptoms. Usually, treating foot pain begins with immobilization to allow injured tissues and bones to heal. You may be placed in a splint, cast, or brace.

To relieve foot pain and further promote healing, Dr. Tran may combine any of the following treatments:

Physical therapy
Custom orthotics
Corticosteroid injections
Regenerative medicine
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

If you have a complex fracture, tendon or ligament rupture, or another serious injury, Dr. Tran could recommend surgery. No matter which foot injury treatment is right for you, the dedicated team at AllCare Foot & Ankle Center cares for you every step of the way until you get back to 100%.
