Injury or degeneration of these structures can cause foot and ankle pain and affect the way you live. Common painful ankle/foot conditions include:

Osteoarthritis of the ankle, foot or toe joints
Plantar Fasciitis

Sprains and strains of the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine
Herniated discs
Stress fractures and dislocation
Pain and inflammation of the facet joints
Whiplash
