Foot & Ankle
Foot and ankle specialists in Lake Tahoe and Carson City provide treatment for injuries and pain related to the foot, ankle, heel, and toe. Also skilled in podiatry, our foot and ankle surgeon sees patients in both Carson City and Lake Tahoe to treat you closer to home.
The foot is complex made up of 28 bones, 30 joints and more than 100 muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Feet are often affected by sprains, tendonitis, fractures, and arthritis.
The ankle joint provides the body with balance, stability, and the ability to bear the body's weight. It must do all these tasks while being exercised and manipulated over one million times a year.
Common foot and ankle injuries include:
- Ankle sprain
- Fractures of the ankle, heel, toe and forefoot
- Stress fractures
- Achilles tendon tear/ rupture
- Bunions, bone spurs, hammer toe and turf toe
- Plantar fasciitis
- Arthritis
Advanced ankle arthritis can be treated surgically with an ankle joint replacement.
