Some foot and ankle injuries, such as strains and sprains, can heal within a few weeks with at-home care. More serious sports-related foot and ankle injuries, however, may require minimally invasive treatments, such as injections, or surgery to be corrected.

The treatments for Achilles tendonitis, tendinopathy, and partial tears range from rest and ice baths to night splints and extracoporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT).
