When Foot & Ankle Pain Demands Immediate Attention—Trust CNOS
Your feet and ankles take a pounding—whether you’re an athlete, on your feet all day for work, or simply going about your routine. These complex structures support your entire body and absorb the force of every step. Over time, or with one wrong move, that wear and tear can lead to injuries and chronic pain.
At CNOS, our goal is simple: keep you moving. Our Foot & Ankle specialists, led by board-certified surgeon Dr. David Rettedal, provide advanced care for everything from minor sprains to complex fractures and chronic deformities. And with Orthopaedic Urgent Care, you can access same-day treatment when foot & ankle issues can’t wait.
If you’re in pain, don’t ignore it. The right care today could prevent bigger problems tomorrow. Here’s why more patients are choosing CNOS Foot & Ankle services for fast, expert care.
Common Foot & Ankle Injuries and Conditions We Treat
At CNOS, our Foot & Ankle team takes a comprehensive approach to your care—evaluating every aspect of your condition and designing a personalized treatment plan. Whether you’ve suffered an acute injury or are dealing with a long-standing issue, we’re equipped to help.
We regularly treat:
Ankle Sprains & Instabilities
Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries, especially among athletes and active adults. Without proper treatment, a simple sprain can lead to chronic instability and repeated injuries. CNOS offers both conservative treatment and surgical repair when needed to restore full ankle strength and stability.
Foot & Ankle Fractures
Our specialists are experienced in treating fractures of the toes, foot, ankle, and lower leg. We manage both simple and complex fractures—including those requiring surgical intervention to ensure proper alignment and healing.
Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis
Persistent heel pain can sideline even the most active individual. Plantar fasciitis is a common culprit, but other issues such as nerve entrapments or stress fractures may also be involved. We offer advanced diagnostics to pinpoint the cause and a full spectrum of treatments to relieve pain and restore mobility.
Achilles Tendon Injuries
The Achilles tendon is the strongest tendon in the body—and when it tears or degenerates, your mobility is severely impacted. We provide both surgical and nonsurgical care for Achilles tendon injuries, helping patients regain strength and flexibility.
Sports & Overuse Injuries
Active individuals frequently develop stress fractures, tendonitis, and other overuse injuries. Our team works with athletes of all levels to optimize recovery while protecting long-term performance.
Arthritis of the Foot & Ankle
Arthritis can cause pain, stiffness, and deformity in the small joints of the foot and ankle. We offer both conservative management and surgical options, including fusion procedures and total ankle replacement for advanced cases.
Urgent Foot & Ankle Care When You Need It Most
Injuries to the foot and ankle can happen without warning—and when they do, waiting for an appointment can put your recovery at risk. That’s why CNOS offers Orthopaedic Urgent Care at our Dakota Dunes clinic.
Our Urgent Care team provides same-day walk-in access to Foot & Ankle specialists, including:
- Sprains and strains
- Fractures of the foot, ankle, and toes
- Sports injuries
- Small dislocations (toe, foot)
