Foot & Ankle Conditions

Sprains & Ligament Tears (ATFL, CFL, PTFL, Deltoid)

Ankle sprains and ligament tears occur when the ligaments stabilizing the ankle joint—such as the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL), or deltoid ligament—are overstretched or torn due to sudden twisting or impact. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and instability. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.

Syndesmosis Injuries (High Ankle Sprains)

Syndesmosis injuries, or high ankle sprains, occur when the ligaments connecting the tibia and fibula above the ankle are stretched or torn. This type of sprain is typically caused by forceful twisting motions and can result in significant pain and difficulty bearing weight. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.

Osteoarthritis in the Foot and Ankle

Osteoarthritis in the foot and ankle is a degenerative joint disease that leads to cartilage breakdown, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling in the affected joints. This condition is common in older adults and individuals with a history of joint injuries. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.

Tendinopathy (Achilles, Tibialis Posterior, Peronei)

Tendinopathy refers to the degeneration or inflammation of tendons, commonly affecting the Achilles tendon, tibialis posterior tendon, or peroneal tendons. This condition results from overuse, improper biomechanics, or aging-related wear and tear, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Our experienced and talented physicians can accurately diagnose and possibly treat this medical condition for you. We are staffed by experienced medical doctors, and our service is covered by OHIP. No referrals are needed.
