Ankle

Notes From The Doctor

“Many ankle problems begin from a twist or slip. Too often, patients do not give the injury the attention it needs to heal correctly and long lasting damage occurs. I recommend visiting your podiatrist as injuries occur,” said Dr. Lee Hoffman.

Ankle

My life by the seasons

Many ankle sprains result from slipping on an icy or wet surfice. If an ankle is injured perform R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression and elevation) to reduce swelling and pain. Don't hesitate to see a doctor.

What They Are Saying

" I came to Dr Fredrick because of foot pain. I had tried several types of shoes and could not find comfort. Walking hurt!

Thanks to Dr Fredrick, I look forward to walking with happy feet again," Beverly of Clarkston
