Expert Treatment for Foot and Ankle Fractures & Sprains

Fractures and sprains are among the most common injuries to the foot and ankle. A fracture is a break in the bone, often caused by a fall, accident, or repetitive stress. The most frequent type in the foot is a metatarsal fracture, where one of the long bones breaks and causes pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. A sprain occurs when the ligaments that support your joints are stretched or torn, often leading to bruising, tenderness, and limited mobility.


At Lake Ridge & Stafford Foot & Ankle Specialists, we carefully evaluate each injury to determine whether it is a fracture, sprain, or both. Initial care may include the R.I.C.E. method—rest, ice, compression, and elevation—along with pain relief medications to reduce swelling and discomfort. Depending on severity, treatment may involve immobilization with a cast or brace, physical therapy for rehabilitation, or surgical repair in more complex cases.


Our goal is to relieve pain, promote proper healing, and help patients return to normal activities safely. Whether the injury is minor or severe, we provide personalized care and ongoing support for a full recovery.
