Strains, sprains, tendonitis, or arthritis can take the kick out of your step. Ankle problems affect young and old and without proper treatment you may find that kicking that soccer ball or wearing your favorite dressy heels is just not possible. One of the most painful types of arthritis around the ankles is gout, a condition that affects millions of people with its rapid onset of joint inflammation.

After a thorough evaluation and diagnosis, your orthopedic surgeon will prescribe the appropriate course of treatment for you, which could range from anti-inflammatory medication, to physical therapy, to surgery.
