Ankle pain, often caused by injury, instability, or arthritis, can significantly increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis in the knee. When the ankle joint is compromised, it disrupts the natural biomechanics of walking leading to altered gait patterns. This imbalance shifts excessive stress to the knee joint as it compensates for the weakened ankle, accelerating cartilage wear and tear. Over time, the increased joint load contributes to inflammation, pain, and the progressive breakdown of knee cartilage, a hallmark of osteoarthritis. Addressing ankle pain early is essential to prevent this chain reaction. Podiatric treatments such as strengthening exercises, orthotics, or bracing can restore ankle stability and proper alignment. If you have ankle pain, it is suggested that you visit a podiatrist to have an exam and obtain treatment to prevent long-term complications, such as knee arthritis.
Ankle pain can be caused by a number of problems and may be potentially serious. If you have ankle pain, consult with Anas Khoury, DPM from North Eastern Foot & Ankle Specialists. Our doctor will assess your condition and provide you with quality foot and ankle treatment.
Ankle pain is any condition that causes pain in the ankle. Due to the fact that the ankle consists of tendons, muscles, bones, and ligaments, ankle pain can come from a number of different conditions.
Causes
The most common causes of ankle pain include:
Symptoms
Symptoms of ankle injury vary based upon the condition. Pain may include general pain and discomfort, swelling, aching, redness, bruising, burning or stabbing sensations, and/or loss of sensation.
Diagnosis
Due to the wide variety of potential causes of ankle pain, podiatrists will utilize a number of different methods to properly diagnose ankle pain. This can include asking for personal and family medical histories and of any recent injuries. Further diagnosis may include sensation tests, a physical examination, and potentially x-rays or other imaging tests.
Treatment
Just as the range of causes varies widely, so do treatments. Some more common treatments are rest, ice packs, keeping pressure off the foot, orthotics and braces, medication for inflammation and pain, and surgery.

First-step pain is a hallmark symptom of plantar fasciopathy, often causing significant discomfort upon getting out of bed or after sitting for extended periods. Custom foot orthotics can be extremely effective in reducing this pain. By providing individualized support tailored to the unique shape and structure of the foot, orthotics help to distribute weight evenly and alleviate pressure on the affected heel. This can significantly reduce the tension on the plantar fascia, especially during the initial steps after rest. Custom orthotics can also help correct foot misalignment or abnormal gait patterns that may contribute to the condition. Over time, this support helps reduce inflammation and promotes healing by limiting repetitive stress on the fascia. For many people, wearing custom orthotics leads to noticeable improvements in both first-step pain and overall comfort throughout the day. If you have heel pain, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist who can properly diagnose the cause, and offer custom-made orthotics as a treatment solution.
Custom orthotics are specialized shoe inserts created to support and align the feet according to each person’s unique structure and walking pattern. They are an effective way to relieve foot discomfort caused by conditions such as flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel pain. When the natural alignment of the foot is off balance, it can lead to pressure points, strain, and pain that affect how a person stands, walks, and moves. Orthotics work by redistributing weight evenly and supporting the arch to reduce stress on the muscles, tendons, and joints of the feet and lower legs.
Foot discomfort can develop for many reasons, including wearing improper footwear, long hours of standing, repetitive motion, or underlying structural problems. Over time, this discomfort can extend beyond the feet, contributing to knee, hip, or lower back pain. Custom orthotics help correct these issues by improving alignment and promoting more efficient movement. They are made using precise measurements and imaging to ensure the best fit for each patient, providing targeted support and cushioning where it is needed most.
Unlike generic insoles, custom orthotics are durable, medically designed, and tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are managing chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply seeking better comfort and stability, orthotics can make a noticeable difference in how your feet feel throughout the day.
If you are experiencing persistent foot discomfort or fatigue, it may be time to have your feet evaluated by a podiatrist. Call our office today for more information or to schedule an appointment.

Cuboid syndrome is a condition that affects the foot, specifically the cuboid bone, which is one of the seven tarsal bones located on the outer side of the foot. This syndrome occurs when the cuboid bone becomes slightly misaligned or stiff, often leading to pain in the outer part of the foot. The main causes of cuboid syndrome include sudden movements, foot injuries, overuse, or wearing improper footwear. Activities such as running, jumping, or twisting can strain the cuboid bone and surrounding tissues. Common symptoms include localized pain, swelling, and tenderness on the outer foot, in addition to difficulty walking or bearing weight. To diagnose cuboid syndrome, a podiatrist typically conducts a physical examination and may perform specific manipulation tests. In some cases, imaging tests like X-rays or MRI scans may be used to rule out other conditions and confirm the diagnosis. If you have pain in the outer part of your foot, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist who can accurately diagnose and treat the problem.
Cuboid syndrome, also known as cuboid subluxation, occurs when the joints and ligaments near the cuboid bone in the foot become torn. If you have cuboid syndrome, consult with Anas Khoury, DPM from North Eastern Foot & Ankle Specialists. Our doctor will assess your condition and provide you with quality foot and ankle treatment.
Cuboid syndrome is a common cause of lateral foot pain, which is pain on the outside of the foot. The condition may happen suddenly due to an ankle sprain, or it may develop slowly overtime from repetitive tension through the bone and surrounding structures.
Causes
The most common causes of cuboid syndrome include:
Symptoms
A common symptom of cuboid syndrome is pain along the outside of the foot which can be felt in the ankle and toes. This pain may create walking difficulties and may cause those with the condition to walk with a limp.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of cuboid syndrome is often difficult, and it is often misdiagnosed. X-rays, MRIs and CT scans often fail to properly show the cuboid subluxation. Although there isn’t a specific test used to diagnose cuboid syndrome, your podiatrist will usually check if pain is felt while pressing firmly on the cuboid bone of your foot.
Treatment
Just as the range of causes varies widely, so do treatments. Some more common treatments are ice therapy, rest, exercise, taping, and orthotics.

A Lisfranc injury refers to damage to bones in the midfoot, specifically the joint complex where the bones of the foot meet. This type of injury often occurs from a traumatic event, such as a car accident, sports injury, or a fall from height, where excessive force is applied to the foot. It can also happen in lower-impact scenarios, like twisting the foot awkwardly while walking or running. Symptoms of a Lisfranc injury include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected foot. In severe cases, there may be visible deformity. Treatment depends on the severity of the injury. Minor injuries may be treated with immobilization, while more severe cases may require surgery to realign the bones and stabilize the joint. A podiatrist can accurately diagnose a Lisfranc injury through a physical exam and imaging, and develop a treatment plan to help restore function and alleviate pain. If you suspect a Lisfranc injury, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist for the right care.
