Treatment Options for Ankle Arthritis at Foot and Ankle Centers

Ankle arthritis, a common condition that causes pain and stiffness in the ankle joint, can significantly impact daily activities. Fortunately, there are a variety of treatment options available to manage symptoms and improve mobility.

Non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and custom orthotics, can help alleviate pain and increase joint function. For more severe cases, corticosteroid injections may provide temporary relief by reducing inflammation in the affected joint.

If conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief, surgical options may be necessary. These can include ankle fusion, which eliminates the joint pain by fusing the bones together, or total ankle replacement, which involves replacing the damaged joint with an artificial one.

At Foot & Ankle Centers, our specialists will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to manage your ankle arthritis, helping you regain pain-free movement and improve your quality of life.
