Foot & Ankle Conditions
Your feet and ankles are complex structures made up of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that work together to support your weight, absorb shock, and enable movement. When something goes wrong—whether from injury, overuse, arthritis, or a deformity—it can significantly affect your ability to walk and enjoy daily activities.
Dr. Jesse Raszewski specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of foot and ankle conditions using the latest medical and surgical techniques. Whether you're dealing with pain, swelling, stiffness, or instability, we’re here to help you regain mobility and improve your quality of life.
Explore the sections below to learn more about common conditions affecting different parts of the foot and ankle:
Ankle Conditions
The ankle plays a crucial role in balance and movement. It is susceptible to sprains, fractures, tendon injuries, and arthritis. Understanding the source of ankle pain or instability is key to restoring function and preventing long-term issues.
- Achilles Tendinitis
- Achilles Tendinosis
- Achilles Tendon Tear
- Ankle Instability
- Ankle Sprain
- Broken Ankle
- Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
- Chronic Lateral Ankle Pain
- High Ankle Sprain
- Insertional Achilles Tendinitis
- OS Trigonum Syndrome
- Osteochondral Lesion
- Peroneal Tendinosis
- Pilon Fracture
- Sinus Tarsi Syndrome
- Talus Fracture
Hindfoot Conditions
The hindfoot connects the ankle to the rest of the foot and includes the heel and the bones beneath the ankle joint. It is essential for shock absorption and proper gait mechanics. Conditions affecting the hindfoot can cause pain with walking, running, or even standing.
Midfoot Conditions
The midfoot consists of the arch and the bones that connect the forefoot to the hindfoot. It helps stabilize your foot with each step. Midfoot injuries and arthritis can lead to collapse of the arch, stiffness, and difficulty with footwear.
Forefoot Conditions
The forefoot includes the toes and ball of the foot. It is a common site for deformities and pressure-related pain, especially in people who spend a lot of time on their feet. Proper evaluation helps ensure the right treatment for both cosmetic and functional concerns.
Other Conditions
In addition to joint and structural issues, the foot and ankle can be affected by soft tissue problems, nerve conditions, infections, and complications from diabetes. These often require specialized care to prevent long-term damage.
