Foot & Ankle Injury Treatment in Atlanta, GA
A twisted ankle, a stubbed toe, a foot that swells after a fall — lower extremity injuries are easy to dismiss until they stop you from walking. United Foot & Leg evaluates and treats foot and ankle injuries in Atlanta with on-site X-ray and ultrasound, so diagnosis and a treatment plan happen in a single visit. Same-day appointments are often available for acute injuries.
What is foot and ankle injuries?
Lower extremity injuries range from sprains and soft-tissue damage to fractures of the foot and ankle, tendon injuries, dislocations, wounds, and overuse trauma. What they share is a need for accurate early diagnosis: an injury treated as a simple sprain when it is actually a fracture — or vice versa — can set healing back by months.
Common symptoms
- Pain after a twist, fall, impact, or accident
- Swelling, bruising, or discoloration of the foot or ankle
- Inability to bear weight or a feeling the joint will give way
- Pain over a specific bone or joint line
- A pop, snap, or grinding sensation at the moment of injury
- Open wounds, or injuries that are not improving after several days
Common causes & risk factors
- Ankle sprains from rolling or twisting the joint
- Fractures from falls, impact, or twisting injuries
- Stress fractures from repeated loading — runners, workers on their feet
- Tendon strains and tears, including the Achilles
- Crush injuries and dropped objects
- Cuts and puncture wounds that need cleaning and monitoring
When should you see a foot doctor?
- You cannot bear weight after an injury
- Swelling, bruising, or pain is significant or worsening
- The injury involves an obvious deformity or open wound
- Pain persists beyond a few days without improvement
- You have diabetes or poor circulation with any foot injury
- An old injury is still not right — chronic instability and unhealed injuries are treatable
How we evaluate it
Acute injury visits include a hands-on examination, on-site X-ray when a fracture is possible, and diagnostic ultrasound for tendon and soft-tissue questions. Because the imaging is in our office, you leave the same visit with a diagnosis and plan rather than waiting days for a referral.
Treatment options at United Foot & Leg
Immobilization and protection
Sprains, fractures, and tendon injuries are stabilized with the appropriate boot, brace, cast, or stiff-soled shoe so the tissue can heal in the right position.
Fracture care
Fractures are aligned and managed by their pattern — protected weight-bearing, reduction, or surgical fixation when the injury requires it. Follow-up imaging confirms healing.
Wound and infection care
Cuts, punctures, and crush injuries are cleaned and closed or dressed as appropriate, with careful monitoring for infection — especially important for diabetic patients.
Rehabilitation and return to activity
Structured recovery restores strength, balance, and range of motion, and addresses the mechanics that contributed to the injury so it does not simply repeat.
Simple, transparent pricing

Prepaid online when you book — every appointment starts here.
TeleMedicine and On-Demand visits are prepaid online when you book; the remaining fees are paid in person at your visit — never online. In-office bunion surgery ($2,250, comparable at $3,950) includes the procedure and all post-op care and appointments for the 90-day post-op period.
We accept cash, HSA, credit cards, Stripe, and Zelle. All bookings are non-refundable.
What to expect
One visit gets you from 'something is wrong with my foot' to a named diagnosis with a written plan. You will know what you injured, how long healing realistically takes, what you can and cannot do in the meantime, and when we need to see you again.
Recovery & follow-up
Recovery depends on the tissue injured: minor sprains settle in days to weeks, fractures take six weeks or more to solidify, and tendon repairs longer. Structured follow-up keeps healing on track and catches complications early.
