Foot & Ankle Orthopedics in Dallas — Stable Steps, Confident Strides

Yes. Without rehab, laxity and poor proprioception keep re-sprain risk high. We restore range, strength, and balance using Ankle Rehab and progress to uneven surfaces and sport-specific tasks. If stability lags, short-term supports from Ankle Stabilization can help while capacity builds. See patterns and relapse risks in Ankle Sprain/Instability.

For high-grade sprains, syndesmotic injury, or painful gait. Protection is temporary; we step down to a lace-up brace and eventually none as control and strength return. Weaning criteria are built into your program. Learn the approach in Ankle Stabilization and cues in Syndesmotic Sprain.

Eccentric-biased loading, calf/hip balance, and footwear strategy form the core. Activity is scaled—not stopped—so tissue capacity rises. When pain blocks progress, a targeted Tendon Sheath Injection may help. See expectations in Achilles Tendinopathy and the progressions we use in Ankle Rehab.

When indicated. Fluoroscopy-guided injections can give targeted relief and diagnostic clarity, especially with arthritic or post-traumatic pain. They’re adjuncts, not stand-alone fixes; we pair them with Ankle Rehab and, when mechanics drive symptoms, an Orthotics Strategy. Read more in Ankle Injection.

Yes. Footwear and orthoses redistribute load and improve mechanics while strength and mobility catch up. We pair devices with Ankle Rehab so benefits persist. See when we recommend them for Posterior Tibial Tendinopathy and Plantar Fasciitis.

 When results change management—suspected fracture, tendon rupture, syndesmotic injury, or persistent pain despite correct progression. Otherwise, exam-driven Ankle Rehab and stabilization often deliver faster gains. Learn red flags and timelines in Foot/Ankle Stress Injury. We coordinate only studies that truly improve decisions.
