Treatment Options

At Kennedy Health, we offer comprehensive foot and ankle pain care and treatment options:

Conservative Measures

This includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with the use of orthotics, braces, or splints to support and stabilize the foot and ankle.

Physical Therapy

Our experienced physical therapists can design personalized exercise programs to strengthen the muscles and improve flexibility, promoting healing and reducing pain.

Medication Management

Our medical professionals may recommend over-the-counter or prescription medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

Corticosteroid Injections

In some cases, corticosteroid injections may be administered to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in specific areas of the foot or ankle.

Surgical Intervention

For severe cases that do not respond to conservative treatments, surgical options may be considered. These can include arthroscopy, ligament repair, joint fusion, or bunionectomy, depending on the underlying condition.
