An ankle sprain is an injury to one or more ligaments in the ankle, usually on the outside of the ankle. Ligaments are bands of tissue - like rubber bands - that connect one bone to another and bind the joints together. In the ankle joint, ligaments provide stability by limiting side-to-side movement.
What is a Tarsal Coalition? A tarsal coalition is an abnormal connection that develops between two bones in the back of the foot (the tarsal bones). This abnormal connection, which can be composed of bone, cartilage, or fibrous tissue, may lead to limited motion and pain in one or both feet. The tarsal bones include the calcaneus (heel bone), talus, navicular, cuboid, and cuneiform bones.
Arch supports are devices that are placed into one's shoes to support the arch and diminish or eliminate pain. A foot and ankle surgeon may provide advice on which type is best for your foot type, and you may be able to obtain arch supports from the doctor's office. Arch supports can also be purchased without a prescription from drug, shoe, and sporting goods stores.

I was scheduled to come in the office to be fitted for inserts at 10:45am. After 11:15, I asked how much longer would I be waiting. At 11:30 am, one of the assistants called me to the desk to tell me they made a mistake. The only thing they could say was, "I'm sorry". That is unacceptable. That is poor communication and scheduling on their behalf. How could that type of mistake be made and no one in the office catch until 30 min after my appointment. The staff did not try to offer a solution for me wasting my time. There were 2 other women sitting in the lobby who had also been waiting for 30 minutes
