When to Seek Emergency Foot Care at Foot and Ankle Centers

Knowing when to seek emergency foot care is crucial to prevent further injury and ensure proper healing. Certain foot injuries and conditions require immediate medical attention. These include severe fractures, such as an open or displaced bone, or a significant sprain that prevents you from bearing weight on your foot.

If you experience sudden, intense pain, or if your foot or ankle becomes swollen, bruised, or deformed after an injury, it’s important to seek help right away. Other warning signs include inability to move the foot, numbness, or tingling, which may indicate nerve damage or a circulation issue.

Infections, such as redness, warmth, or discharge near a wound, also demand urgent attention. At Foot & Ankle Centers, we offer emergency care for all types of foot and ankle injuries. Our specialists are here to provide quick, effective treatment to ensure a fast recovery and prevent complications.
