Ankle and foot pain can be a common and debilitating condition that affects people of all ages and activity levels. At Summit Integrated Health in Las Vegas, our team of multidisciplinary medical professionals is committed to diagnosing and treating ankle and foot pain with a personalized and comprehensive approach to help our patients get back to their daily lives as quickly and safely as possible.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain in the heel and underside of the foot. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that connects the heel to the toes, becomes inflamed or strained. Plantar fasciitis is often associated with overuse or repetitive stress on the feet, such as running, jumping, or standing for extended periods. Treatment may include rest, stretching exercises, ice, orthotics, or physical therapy.
Diagnosing Plantar Fasciitis & Other Conditions
At Summit Integrated Health, our medical professionals perform a thorough examination to diagnose the underlying cause of your ankle and foot pain. This includes a physical evaluation to check for tenderness, swelling, stiffness, or tightness in your arch, ankle, and calf. They will also assess your gait and look for signs of flat feet or high arches, and they may recommend diagnostic imaging tests, such as digital X-rays, ultrasounds, or MRIs. Our team is dedicated to finding the most effective treatment options for our patients.
Personalized Treatments for Ankle & Foot Pain
At Summit Integrated Health, we offer personalized treatment options for ankle and foot pain based on the underlying cause and severity of the condition.
