Foot & Ankle Injury Treatment

Foot and ankle injuries are common and can happen during everyday activities, sports, or even a minor accident like tripping on stairs or stepping on a foreign object. These injuries can be painful and disabling, but prompt treatment is key to a quick recovery.

RICE Method for Initial Care

If you’ve injured your foot or ankle, follow the RICE method while waiting for professional care:

Elevation: Keep the injured area elevated above heart level to reduce swelling.
Rest: Avoid putting weight on the injured foot or ankle.
Ice: Apply ice to reduce swelling and pain.
Compression: Use an elastic bandage to provide support and minimize swelling.
