Our orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Nels Sampatacos, is board-certified and fellowship- trained in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery. Ankle pain and injuries sustained to the ankle are commonly seen in orthopedics. At Pro Sport Orthopedics in Gig Harbor we treat ankle issues of all types. Our team will work with you to create a comprehensive treatment plan to help relieve your pain and restore function.
Some ankle conditions can be treated without surgery. Treatment options include physical therapy, chiropractic rehab, manual therapy, massage therapy, sports rehab and injections (cortisone and PRP). 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.
