The ankle comprises bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles that connect the foot to the leg. Ankle pain can compromise your mobility and quality of life.
At Washington Foot and Ankle, we offer a variety of ankle treatments to restore proper movement, function, and comfort.
How do I know if I need a doctor for ankle pain?
Persistent Discomfort and Swelling Usually Means You Need a Doctor
Mild pain may be nothing to worry about. However, if your pain is moderate, severe, or persistent despite home care, you may need to book a consultation at our practice.
Ankle injuries are often accompanied by swelling, redness, or bruising. Elevate your foot and use ice to reduce swelling. If this does not help, you likely need to see Dr. Chanda J. Corbin.
A serious ankle injury can prevent you from placing weight on your foot without pain. If you are unable to walk comfortably, stay off of your foot as much as possible until you are able to come to our office.
