Discover the foot and ankle injuries and conditions we treat, from sprains to cartilage damage, with advanced, joint-preserving orthopedic care.
Your feet and ankles are the foundation of your mobility. Every step, jump, or pivot depends on their strength and balance. When pain, stiffness, or instability get in the way, it affects your whole body. At The Joint Preservation Center, our surgeons focus on preserving your natural anatomy — repairing and restoring tissue rather than removing or replacing it. Our goal is to help you move comfortably, stay active, and protect your long-term joint health.
Below are the most common foot and ankle problems we diagnose and treat, explained in clear and simple terms.
Ligament injuries are among the most common ankle problems, especially for athletes and active adults. When not treated properly, they can lead to chronic instability and future arthritis.
We treat:
Our approach focuses on restoring strength and stability through advanced rehabilitation, biologic injections, and minimally invasive ligament reconstruction when needed.
Cartilage damage in the ankle can cause pain, swelling, and catching — often following a sprain or repetitive stress.
We treat:
We use arthroscopic cartilage restoration, microfracture, and biologic resurfacing to preserve joint function and prevent long-term degeneration.
The tendons around the ankle and foot help stabilize and propel your steps. Overuse or injury can cause inflammation, weakness, or rupture.
We treat:
Our treatments include ultrasound-guided biologic injections, focused physical therapy, and arthroscopic or mini-open tendon repair when necessary.
Alignment issues can overload certain parts of your foot and ankle, causing pain and cartilage wear over time.
We treat:
We use 3D imaging, gait analysis, and realignment procedures to restore balance and prevent future degeneration.
When scar tissue or bone spurs restrict movement, ankle impingement can cause pain during walking or sports.
We treat:
We perform arthroscopic impingement release to restore smooth motion and relieve pain.
After a fracture, it’s common to experience stiffness, malalignment, or pain. Our team focuses on restoring natural function while minimizing further damage to the joint.
We treat:
When arthritis begins, early and precise treatment can slow progression and preserve your mobility.
We treat:
We use joint-preserving biologic therapies, cartilage restoration, and realignment osteotomies to maintain your natural joint for as long as possible.
From runners and soccer players to dancers and weekend warriors, repetitive motion and sudden impact can cause overuse injuries.
We treat:
We don’t just treat the pain — we treat the person behind it. Our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons specialize in foot and ankle joint preservation, combining advanced arthroscopic, biologic, and realignment techniques to restore motion and prevent long-term joint damage.
Whether your goal is to return to sports, work, or pain-free daily movement, our approach is designed to help you move confidently and naturally again.
If you’re dealing with ankle or foot pain, instability, or swelling — or if you’ve been told you “need surgery” — you may still have options to preserve your joint and recover naturally.
