At Carrollton Foot Center, Dr. Lilly Khavari offers comprehensive treatment options for ankle pain. Dr. Khavari specializes in treating ankle conditions and provides individualized treatment plans that prioritize conservative, non-invasive interventions before considering more invasive options.

The treatment for ankle pain at Carrollton Foot Center begins with a thorough examination and x-rays to assess the severity and underlying cause of the condition. Based on the examination, Dr. Khavari develops a personalized treatment plan that may include bracing, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), injection therapy, and stretching.

Bracing is a conservative treatment option that can help to stabilize the ankle joint and reduce pain. Dr. Khavari may recommend bracing in conjunction with other treatments to provide additional support and reduce stress on the affected area.

NSAIDs are a common medication used to alleviate pain and inflammation in the affected area. Dr. Khavari may recommend this medication based on the severity and underlying cause of the ankle pain. It is important to consult with Dr. Khavari before taking NSAIDs, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other medications.

Injection therapy involves injecting medication, such as cortisone, directly into the affected area to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Dr. Khavari may recommend this treatment option based on the severity and duration of the pain and inflammation.

Stretching is another conservative treatment option that can help to improve flexibility, range of motion, and reduce pain in the affected area. Dr. Khavari may recommend specific stretches or exercises that are tailored to the individual patient’s needs and goals.

If conservative treatment does not improve symptoms, Dr. Khavari may proceed to order advanced imaging, such as an MRI, to assess the need for further treatment. Surgical treatment would be the next step if conservative treatment fails and depends on the underlying pathology.

Overall, Dr. Khavari’s treatment approach for ankle pain at Carrollton Foot Center emphasizes conservative, non-invasive treatments before considering more invasive options. With her expertise in treating ankle conditions, Dr. Khavari works closely with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan that meets their individual needs and goals. The Carrollton Foot Center team is committed to providing comprehensive care and support to patients throughout their treatment journey.
