Foot injuries most commonly occur during sports or recreational activities, work-related tasks, or work or projects around the home.
Most of the time our body movements do not cause problems, but it's not surprising that symptoms develop from everyday wear and tear, overuse, or an injury and at one time or another, everyone has had a minor foot injury.
These are the 5 most common foot injury to look out for 1. Ankle Sprain, 2. Plantar Fasciitis, 3. Achilles Tendonitis or Tears, 4. Turf Toe, and 5. Broken Metatarsal
What Causes the Injuries of our Foot
Car accidents and sports injuries are responsible for many traumatic foot and ankle problems, such as fractures and sprains. Ordinary slips and falls also lead to foot and ankle injuries. Age-related wear and tear of joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles can make them prone to arthritis and injury.
Sports such as running, football, skiing, and other high-intensity exercises commonly lead to accidental injuries and overuse of the feet and ankles. Wearing shoes that don’t fit properly is another common cause of bunions, corns, calluses, and other foot and ankle conditions.
What are the Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of foot and ankle conditions depend on the specific problem. Pain is a common symptom. It can be sudden (acute) or long-lasting (chronic), dull or sharp, and may worsen with activity or when wearing shoes.
Sometimes, pain can even occur with the slightest touch. Other symptoms may include swelling, numbness, redness, bruising, and changes in the appearance of a toe or other part of the foot.
Treatment for your foot injury may include first aid measures (such as the application of a brace, splint, or cast), a special shoe which is called an orthotic device, physiotherapy, medicine, and, in some cases, surgery. Treatment depends on:
The location, type, and severity of your injury
When the injury occurred
Your age, your overall health condition, and your activities (such as work, sports, or hobbies)

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT FOOT CARE WLA
KNOWLEDGEABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY FOOT DOCTOR
"My best friend recommended I see Dr. Knudson so I made an appointment and saw him. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what was going on with my feet and how my bone structure was affected by the shoes I was wearing. He took x-rays to determine the condition of my feet before making any suggestions for treatment. I became his client since my consultation and will be seeing him twice a week! I will definitely be recommending him to my friends and family!"

"I had some surgery for a minor skin cancer on my ankle which became infected and created a wound that would not heal. After a month of trying, the surgeon sent me to Dr. J. Knudson. He has many years of experience with stubborn cases. Gradually he used various forms of treatment until I was finally cured. How fortunate I was to have found him. I am now back to my previous activity and health. They deserve more than 5 stars."
