Ankle
Our orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Nels Sampatacos, is board-certified and fellowship-trained in sports medicine, arthroscopy, and reconstructive surgery. Ankle injuries are commonly seen in orthopedics.
At Pro Sport Orthopedics in Gig Harbor, we treat ankle issues of all types. <br
Dr. Nels Sampatacos and his PRO SPORT team of providers, including his physician assistant, Laura Sciba, and the sports rehab chiropractors, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and massage therapists will work to create a comprehensive treatment plan designed to relieve your pain and restore your function.
Some ankle conditions can be treated without surgery. Treatment options include physical therapy, chiropractic rehab, manual therapy, massage therapy, sports rehab, and ultrasound-guided injections (cortisone, hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma, amnion, stem cells, etc.). Oftentimes, we can utilize a combination of these non-surgical treatments to improve healing and increase performance.
Other ankle conditions might require surgery. Most of these can be performed arthroscopically and some with open repairs and reconstruction.
