Your feet and ankles bear the full weight of your body, and with all the running, jumping or even just walking we do every day, they take quite a pounding. So it’s not surprising that problems with our feet or ankles are very common - from injuries like sprains, strains, tears and fractures to chronic conditions like arthritis.
If you are experiencing any pain in your feet or ankles, you want to be seen by a physician who is an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of problems in these "lower extremities" - from the simple to the serious. In Western New York, Excelsior Orthopaedics is THE place to go.
