Foot and Ankle Pain Solutions

Alleviate Your Foot and Ankle Pain in Maryland

Foot and ankle pain can significantly impact your daily life, making simple tasks such as walking or standing difficult and uncomfortable. These critical joints bear the weight of your body and are essential for movement, which means any injury or condition affecting them can disrupt your overall well-being.

At Greater Maryland Pain Management, we provide compassionate, expert care to identify and treat the root cause of your discomfort. Whether your pain stems from an injury, a medical condition, or an underlying issue, we’re here to help you get back on your feet with confidence.

Common Causes of Foot and Ankle Pain

Foot and ankle pain can result from various conditions, ranging from mild to severe. Regardless of the cause, we know that living with foot and ankle pain can affect every aspect of your life. That’s why getting to the root cause is our team's first priority. Here are some prevalent sources of pain that you'll want to know about:
  • Plantar Fasciitis: A common condition that causes heel pain due to plantar fascia inflammation, a tissue band connecting your heel to your toes.
  • Heel Spurs: Calcium deposits on the underside of the heel bone, which can cause sharp pain, especially while walking.
  • Peripheral Neuropathy: Nerve damage affecting the feet, often linked to diabetes or other underlying conditions, causing tingling, numbness, or sharp pain.
  • Trauma and Injuries: Ankle sprains, fractures, or overuse injuries are familiar sources of acute or chronic foot and ankle pain.
  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): A chronic pain condition often triggered by trauma or an injury, characterized by sensitivity, swelling, and skin discoloration.
  • Radiating Pain: Sometimes, the true culprit isn’t your foot or ankle at all. Pinched lower back nerves can cause pain radiating down to the feet.

Explore Treatments for Foot and Ankle Pain

At Greater Maryland Pain Management, our board-certified pain management physicians offer a thorough and personalized approach to foot and ankle pain management. Using advanced diagnostics, physical evaluations, and one-on-one consultations, we craft individualized treatment plans to maximize relief and improve function. Learn about some of the effective treatment approaches we provide:

Lifestyle Recommendations & Physical Therapy

Beyond medications and procedures, we may recommend specific exercises, footwear adjustments, or stretching routines to prevent future pain and enhance recovery. Physical therapy can address weakened muscles or improper gait that may contribute to your condition.

Interventional Procedures

Our minimally invasive procedures target the specific area causing you pain. These include steroid injections to reduce inflammation, nerve blocks, and cutting-edge techniques to manage chronic pain. These procedures are performed in a soothing environment with short recovery periods, allowing you to regain mobility quickly.

Medication Management

Pain management often includes carefully tailored medications. Our physicians use a balanced approach, incorporating both traditional pain medications and newer drug therapies to help alleviate symptoms. Our experts oversee all treatments to ensure safety and efficacy within your treatment plan.

Specialized Support for Chronic Conditions

Long-term management strategies may be required for conditions like plantar fasciitis, peripheral neuropathy, or CRPS. To improve patient outcomes, we combine therapies like desensitization training, TENS units (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), or advanced regenerative injections.
