Common Foot and Ankle Conditions
One of the most common causes of heel pain, plantar fasciitis occurs when the band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed. Symptoms include stabbing pain near the heel, especially during the first steps in the morning. Treatment may include physical therapy, custom orthotics, and anti-inflammatory medications.
Ankle sprains are frequent injuries, especially for athletes. This condition happens when the ligaments that support the ankle are overstretched or torn. Symptoms include swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking. Proper rehabilitation and early treatment are crucial to prevent long-term instability.
Achilles tendinitis is an overuse injury affecting the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It is common in runners and individuals who participate in sports involving jumping. Treatment often includes rest, ice, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery.
A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the joint where the big toe meets the foot. It can cause significant pain and discomfort, especially when wearing shoes. Treatment options range from conservative approaches, such as orthotics, to surgical correction in severe cases.
Flat feet, or fallen arches, occur when the arch of the foot collapses, often causing pain and discomfort. Flat feet can lead to other problems such as ankle, knee, or back pain. Treatments include supportive footwear, orthotics, and physical therapy to strengthen the foot muscles.
Sports-Related Foot and Ankle Injuries
For athletes, the foot and ankle are particularly vulnerable to injuries. At DRHC Dubai, we offer expert care for sports-related conditions to help you recover quickly and safely.
Stress fractures are small cracks in the bones caused by repetitive force, often from overuse during sports. Runners and athletes who engage in high-impact activities are most at risk. Symptoms include localized pain that worsens with activity. Treatment typically involves rest, immobilization, and a gradual return to activity.
Ankle fractures range from minor cracks to severe breaks in the bones of the ankle. This type of injury often results from a fall, twist, or direct impact. Symptoms include intense pain, swelling, and an inability to bear weight. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve casting, bracing, or surgery.
Turf toe is a sprain of the ligaments around the big toe joint and is common in sports played on artificial turf, such as football and soccer. The injury occurs when the big toe is forcefully bent upward. Treatment includes rest, ice, and physical therapy to restore movement and strength.
Torn ligaments in the foot or ankle, such as the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), are common in athletes. These injuries often result from sudden twists or impacts. Symptoms include swelling, pain, and instability. Treatment options may include bracing, physical therapy, or surgery in severe cases.
