Treatments Available
When treating a foot and ankle condition, DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine always takes the course of action that best aligns with the patient’s wants and needs. The team employs a variety of proven surgical and non-surgical methods and techniques, including:
Surgical Treatments
All surgical treatments are performed in a state-of-the-art facility, using the most advanced and up-to-date procedures to repair or correct a patient’s feet or ankles. One surgical treatment the team specializes in is total ankle replacement. A great alternative to fusing the ankle, this procedure involves replacing damaged parts of the ankle with prosthetics that work together and move like a natural joint. This treatment is a great option for patients who suffer from lingering ankle pain that affects their quality of life.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Not every foot and ankle medical condition requires surgery. In addition, not every patient is keen on the idea of having surgery. In these cases, DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine offers effective non-surgical treatment methods, such as orthotics, bracing, therapy, and education, for those whose conditions do not necessitate surgery.
