The feet are flexible structures of bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues that let us stand upright and perform activities like walking, running, and jumping. The foot provides a stable but mobile base of support for the body and also helps distribute weight.
Important Functions of the Foot & Ankle
Allows complex movements needed for motion and balance

The heel bone helps anchor the tripod stance of the foot
Occasionally suffering from sore or swollen feet is normal, but sudden pain, swelling or numbness in one foot for no apparent reason can be a sign of a serious problem and requires a trip to the doctor.
Joint pain in the foot or ankle
Even if easily treated with over the counter anti-inflammatory medication, it’s important to see a doctor to determine the root cause of the pain–especially if the pain in your foot or ankle persists.
At our clinic, we generally try to explore non-surgical treatment such as activities modification, physiotherapy and orthotics before recommending invasive intervention options.
