Our feet and ankles are amazingly complex organic machines, with a multitude of moving parts all working together to get us where we need to go with minimal effort!
With so many parts, however, it is not too much of a surprise that sometimes things go wrong. And when they do, they can have negative effects on your comfort and mobility.
At Christian County Foot and Ankle, we help patients with a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. Our mission is to solve the problems that affect our patients’ quality of life and help keep them doing the things that they love.
Below are just a few of the conditions we see all the time at our office. If you do not see your symptoms here, don’t fret—we are very likely still able to help you! Please contact us at (270) 885-1203 with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people come to see us, and there are so many more people who could!
Too many people believe their heel pain is just a natural part of their lives they must endure each day, but that is not true at all. No pain is ever normal, and determining the root cause of heel pain is the first step toward treating it effectively.
A few common causes of heel pain include:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinitis
- Bursitis
Each different cause of heel pain requires a different approach for the best results. We can guide you through the best course of treatment for your situation.
SKIN AND NAIL CONDITIONS
Feet are on the front lines of our daily lives, stepping out into who knows what or spending time in dark, sweaty footwear. All the forces and exposures our feet go through can lead to problems with the skin and nails.
Skin and nail conditions aren’t just a cosmetic issue; they can also have effects on our overall health. Conditions we commonly treat include:
- Toenail fungus
- Athlete’s foot
- Ingrown toenails
- Corns and calluses
We have treatments to address the direct problem, as well as preventative strategies to help prevent such problems from coming back.
Sports Injuries
Sports injuries include more than just sprains and fractures from taking a hard hit on the field. Problems can also develop when you push your body too hard too quickly, or when a structural abnormality places too much pressure on a particular area when you’re active.
In most cases, a treatment plan for a sports injury will involve addressing pain and other symptoms, aiding recovery and rehabilitation, and helping to prevent the problem from occurring again.
