What is Foot & Ankle Care?
Foot and Ankle Care focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of foot and ankle conditions that affect mobility and overall well-being. The foot and ankle are complex structures comprising bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, which play a crucial role in balance, movement, and weight-bearing. Specialized foot and ankle care is essential for treating injuries, deformities, and chronic conditions like arthritis, fractures, and tendonitis. Whether it's a sports injury or a chronic condition, timely care can help restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve quality of life.
