Foot & Ankle Joint Pain: What Causes It & What Are the Treatment Options? | Ask Dr. Moore

What causes foot and ankle joint pain? And what can you do about it? When we evaluate our patients foot and ankle joint pain problems, we believe that giving a variety of treatment options, including non surgical treatments, is a top priority.
At our practice our patients always have three choices:
- No Treatment (Consultation, Second Opinion, Additional Testing)
- Conservative Treatment (Medication, Injection Therapy, Custom Orthotics)
- Surgical Treatment (In Office, Out Patient - Local / Sedation / General Anesthesia)
Every patient is unique. Conservative treatments vs. surgical correction both differ for the particular type of ankle problem, age and lifestyle. The right treatment must also meet the patient’s expectations in regard to resolution of their problem and future functionality. And if conservative treatment fails, the option to not have surgery is as important as the surgery chosen by your surgeon.

Foot and Ankle Joint problems are not only a large part of a podiatry clinic, but in this day and age, there are new medical advances that minimize the surgery invasiveness and promote faster healing times. For example, the ankle arthroscopic procedure that was used mainly for diagnosing problems that were missed or not clear on MRI examination. Now with new ankle distraction techniques and specialize equipment, there is no need to open the ankle with a larger incision to correct, remove, or surgically alter the problems identified during the arthroscopic examination.
Additionally, the new field of ‘stem cell therapy and stem cell research’ is adding to better and faster recovery times. New products like amnionic cells or PRP can be injected into the joints and applied directly to the exposed bone after a cartilage lesion is removed to promote repair and regrowth of cartilage or fibrocartilage. Then there is the new joint replacement implants for both the ankle and the first big toe joint. Now patients can avoid or prolong a joint fusion with these devices. Otherwise, there are many conservative treatment options from joint injection therapy to custom molded orthotics, shoe gear modifications to topical/oral medications.
