Ankle Conditions
A Step Above Foot Care in Long Beach, CA treats all ankle pain and injuries.
We offer treatments for all kinds of ankle problems.
Many times I hear patients say that they "just" sprained their ankle, as if it will get better on its own. They think it is not a serious injury so they don't seek treatment for their sprained or injured ankle. But then weeks and months go by, and the ankle pain is still there. It is important to not "tough it out". People hear "no pain, no gain". That is not true with ankle injuries. Often an ankle injury might start out minor, however continued standing, walking, driving, running, etc. may turn a minor ankle injury into a major ankle injury. It is imiportant to have your injured ankle examined as quickly as possible to avoid long term ankle problems.
