Sprained ankles are a common injury for athletes and non-athletes alike. It’s easy to misstep and roll a foot over the outside edge in so many situations. Severe sprains take longer to heal, and they can lead to chronic ankle instability.
Your feet are the foundation of your body, supporting your entire weight while providing remarkable movement and mobility. Problems with your gait can create issues elsewhere in your body. Custom cast orthotics can keep your body in line.
Arthroscopes revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of joint injuries. By minimizing the impact of surgery on healthy tissue, arthroscopy makes it less painful and easier to recover from when compared to open surgery.
