Understand the cause of your foot or ankle pain
Know what’s behind your pain before deciding what comes next.
When every step hurts, it can be hard to ignore. Foot and ankle problems can come from a sudden injury, repeated stress, arthritis, changes in alignment, or a condition that has slowly become harder to manage.
Southern Oregon Orthopedics provides specialty foot and ankle care in Medford and Grants Pass for patients with pain, swelling, instability, stiffness, limited movement, or difficulty staying active. Our team helps you understand what is causing your symptoms and choose a path forward that fits your needs, goals, and daily life.

You may benefit from an evaluation if you have:
- Ongoing or worsening foot or ankle pain

- Swelling, stiffness, or limited mobility

Diagnosis and treatment
How we diagnose foot and ankle conditions
A clear diagnosis helps your specialist recommend the right treatment
Foot and ankle pain, swelling, instability, and limited mobility can involve bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, or other structures, so your evaluation may include a review of your medical history, a physical exam, and diagnostic testing when needed.
Diagnostic testing may include digital X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans.
Treatment options
Care may begin with nonsurgical options before surgery is considered
Before recommending surgery, the fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgeon at Southern Oregon Orthopedics explores nonsurgical treatment options when appropriate. Your care plan may include bracing or splinting, physical therapy, medications, injection therapy, or orthobiologics.
When symptoms do not improve with nonsurgical care, surgery may be considered. Options may include Achilles tendon repair, ankle fusion, arthroscopy for minimally invasive repair, fracture repair, or plantar fascia release. Rehabilitation is also available to help rebuild strength and support recovery after treatment or surgery.
