Dr. Frankel Offers You Freedom from Pain Through Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Ankle Pain
The ankle is a complex weight-bearing joint that is frequently injured. Injuries such as ankle sprains are extremely common and may result in a torn ligament, ankle instability or an associated ankle fracture. There are non-traumatic causes of ankle pain as well. For example, wear-and-tear of the ankle joint cartilage can lead to ankle arthritis. Although these ankle conditions may be treated without surgery, sometimes surgery is required for functional pain-free recovery. Common procedures we perform for ankle disorders include ankle arthroscopy, ankle ligament repair, ankle cartilage replacement, ankle fusion and ankle replacement. Our patients benefit from our experience in performing these complex ankle procedures.
Heel Pain
Heel pain or Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common conditions seen by the podiatrists. It’s primarily a degenerative ligament disorder and may have secondary heel spur or heel bone inflammation. Other less common causes of heel pain include nerve entrapment(tarsal tunnel syndrome), stress fracture, bone cyst or bone tumor. At Frankel Foot and Ankle, we are experts at eliminating heel pain without surgery and have perfected our approach with a 95% success rate.
Toe pain
Toe conditions that affect the foot are numerous and include big toe joint arthritis, gout, hammertoes, bunions and ingrown toenails. Common low cost treatments include oral anti-inflammatories, steroid injections and shoe modifications. When surgery is indicated, we offer several innovative minimally invasive procedures to enhance recovery, restore function fast and decrease pain. One of these recent advances is the minimally invasive Frankel Fast-Step Bunion Procedure.
Tendon Pain
Muscles in the legs travel down to the foot and ankle where they become tendons. These tendons or rope-like structures connect those muscles to bones in the foot and ankle. Tendons are responsible for our ability to walk, run and jump. Sports tendon injuries of the foot and ankle are common. These include Achilles tendonitis, Achilles tendonosis, peroneal tendonitis, posterior tibial tendonitis or posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. Left untreated, tendon rupture can occur. With our rapid intervention and innovative techniques we can successfully repair even the most damaged tendons.
