What Is Foot and Ankle Pain?
Your feet and ankles carry you through life, but when pain strikes, every step can feel like a challenge. At DFW Sports Medicine, we focus on restoring comfort, mobility, and confidence through personalized care for foot and ankle pain. Foot and ankle pain includes discomfort, inflammation, or injury in the muscles, bones, or joints of the lower leg and foot. It can happen from a sudden injury, overuse, or long-term wear and tear. Athletes, runners, workers on their feet, and older adults often deal with this type of pain. Some people feel pain on the outside of the ankle. Others feel it deep in the foot, near the heel, or along the arch. Pain in these areas can also lead to changes in how you walk or stand. That can cause more strain on the knees, hips, or back. It's important to get the right foot and ankle pain treatment before the pain grows worse or becomes long-term. Schedule a consultation at our McKinney, Frisco, or Lewisville, TX practice today to begin personalized care for your foot and ankle pain.
How Is Foot and Ankle Pain Treated?
Chronic foot and ankle pain treatment at DFW Sports Medicine is built around your needs. The goal is to reduce pain, help you move better, and prevent further damage. Our providers use hands-on evaluations and advanced imaging to understand what's causing the pain. Then, they build a full plan just for you. Minimally invasive methods are often used to help people heal faster. Each of the following treatments works to reduce pain in the ankle and foot while improving how you walk, run, and live:
- Physical therapy: This treatment helps strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and support joint function. It also helps retrain your foot and ankle to move better after injury.
- Injections: Cortisone or regenerative therapies target pain and reduce swelling inside the joint. These work quickly and can bring relief without surgery.
- Custom orthotics: Insoles support the arch and shift pressure off painful spots. They help align the foot and ankle to reduce strain with every step.

DFW Sports Medicine Reviews
Dr. Nuti is thorough, professional, and genuinely cares for her patients. The speed with which her office responds to emails and messages is amazing. I sought her help with a medical issue and was so impressed that I switched my care for a wholly unrelated issue from another doctor to her.
Dr Nuti is an exceptional doctor! She listens, patiently answers questions. She is excellent at diagnosing my running injuries and prescribing exercises and/or PT.
Love that I can get a Doctor to do my Botox. Got in super quick with no issues. Dr. Nuti listens to what I wanted done and what I want to accomplish. Going back to her for sure.
