Pain & Inflammation
Foot and ankle pain can make everyday movement difficult, whether it starts suddenly or builds over time. At The Ankle and Foot Center of Central Florida, we take the time to identify the source of your discomfort before recommending treatment. From heel and arch pain to nerve-related symptoms, inflammation, and ball-of-foot pain, our team offers personalized care designed to reduce pain, support healing, and help you get back to moving comfortably.
Plantar Fasciitis
The most common cause of heel pain. Degenerative tearing of the plantar fascia causes sharp pain with first steps in the morning. We treat with regenerative injections, MLS laser, and custom orthotics before considering any surgical option.
