Issues with your feet or ankles can cause complications in your knees, hips, and back, as well as alter the way you stand and walk. The highly skilled foot and ankle physicians of Palm Beach Orthopaedic Institute are dedicated to providing quality care to patients experiencing an array of foot or ankle issues. Foot pain can result from a variety of conditions, including plantar fasciitis, sprains, arthritis, and deformities. Our advanced, specialty trained physicians have seen it all.

Diagnostics
When you are suffering from pain or discomfort in your feet, ankles, or lower legs, you need to visit your doctor to determine the source of the pain. With a series of tests and examinations available, your doctor can better diagnose your condition and prescribe the best method of treatment. Depending on your specific symptoms, your doctor may request additional diagnostic tests to make a more precise diagnosis.
