Foot and Ankle Injury Care
The Rochester Regional Health Foot & Ankle Center experts specialize in treating the full range of foot and ankle injuries, fractures, and tears using the latest nonsurgical and surgical techniques.
We typically take a conservative approach, using noninvasive methods wherever possible, including:
- Heat and cold
- Immobilization with a brace or orthotic device
- Oral medication to alleviate pain
- Physical therapy to build strength and range of motion
If these treatments do not eliminate pain or restore function, or if your condition is more complex, surgery may be recommended. There is a wide range of surgical options, depending on your injury, including:
- Arthroscopy
- Ankle replacement
