Precision Treatment for Foot and Ankle Injuries That Weaken Stability and Movement
Tendons and ligaments play a critical role in keeping the foot and ankle strong, stable, and aligned. When these structures are overstretched, torn, or inflamed, it can lead to pain, weakness, or a feeling that your foot is giving out. Without the right treatment, these injuries may progress into chronic problems that limit mobility and increase your risk of re-injury.
At Michigan Orthopedic Center, our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons diagnose and treat all types of tendon and ligament injuries. Whether you’re dealing with an acute sprain or a complex tendon disorder, we offer the surgical and non-surgical care you need to recover fully and avoid long-term complications.
Common Conditions We Treat
Ankle Sprains and Chronic Ankle Instability
Achilles Tendon Injuries
Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
Peroneal Tendon Tears or Subluxation
When to Seek Care
If you experience pain, swelling, instability, or trouble bearing weight after an injury, early orthopedic evaluation is essential.
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to chronic dysfunction or further damage.
How Michigan Orthopedic Center Treats Tendon and Ligament Injuries
Treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis using imaging and physical exam. Your care plan may include:
- Immobilization with bracing or casting
- Physical therapy to restore balance and strength
