Expert Foot and Ankle Care Close to Home
At The Foot and Ankle Center in The Woodlands, TX, we treat a wide range of foot and ankle problems for patients of all ages. Many conditions start small—mild discomfort, a little swelling, a bit of stiffness—but can quickly become more serious without proper care.
Below are the most common conditions we see in our clinic and how we help patients find lasting relief.
1. Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain)
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most frequent causes of heel pain.
Most patients describe:
Sharp pain with their first steps in the morning
Pain after standing for long periods
Discomfort after running or activity
We offer advanced treatment options including stretching routines, custom orthotics, guided therapy, and minimally invasive solutions.
2. Achilles Tendonitis
The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel. When overused, it can become irritated or inflamed.
Common signs include:
Pain behind the heel
Stiffness, especially after activity
Swelling along the back of the ankle
Early treatment helps prevent tendon tears or chronic problems.
3. Ankle Sprains & Instability
Ankle sprains occur after rolling or twisting the ankle. Without proper treatment, sprains can lead to long-term instability.
We treat sprains of all severities with:
Diagnostic imaging
Bracing
Therapy
Strengthening programs
For chronic instability, we offer advanced treatment options to restore support and mobility.
4. Bunions
A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe.
You may notice:
Pain when walking
A toe drifting out of alignment
Swelling on the inside of the foot
We provide both conservative and surgical options depending on the severity.

Hammertoe occurs when a toe bends abnormally at the middle joint, causing discomfort and difficulty wearing shoes.
Treatment may include:
Splints or padding
Shoe changes

Minimally invasive correction when needed
6. Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown nails are painful and can easily become infected.
Signs include:

We diagnose the root cause and recommend:
