Ankle and Foot Injury Treatment in Madison, AL

★★★★★ 4.9 from 122 Google reviews at OS1 Madison

A rolled ankle or a painful foot needs an X-ray more often than people expect, because ankle fractures are routinely walked on for days under the assumption they are just sprains. Walk into OS1 Madison and get the exam, the X-ray on site, and the right boot or brace in a single visit. No appointment and no referral.

What we see most

• Lateral ankle sprains. The classic rolled ankle. Graded on exam, treated with bracing or a boot and a specific return to loading.
• High ankle sprains. Pain above the joint, longer recovery, frequently missed. Needs to be distinguished from a routine sprain because the treatment differs.
• Ankle fractures. Including fibula fractures that feel like bad sprains.
• Fifth metatarsal fractures. Pain along the outer edge of the foot after a roll. Some of these need careful management to heal.
• Achilles injuries. A pop in the back of the ankle with sudden weakness pushing off is an emergency-adjacent injury that needs prompt evaluation.
• Plantar fasciitis. Sharp heel pain with the first steps in the morning.
• Stress fractures. Common in runners and in athletes ramping up volume. Often invisible on early X-ray, which is where MRI comes in.
• Turf toe and toe fractures.

What happens at your visit

1. An orthopedic exam that grades the injury and tests the syndesmosis, the Achilles, and the midfoot, not just the outer ligaments.
2. Digital X-ray on site, read during your visit.
3. Same-day fitting for a walking boot, ankle brace, or crutches as needed.
4. Open MRI on site if your provider orders it, most often for suspected stress fractures, Achilles tears, or cartilage injury.
5. A written progression covering weight bearing, swelling control, and when to start balance and strength work, which is the part that prevents the next sprain.
