The human ankle is a complex joint system composed of three separate joints in the area where the foot and leg come together. These joints must be strong enough to support the weight of the entire body. Increased strength leads to increased stability, which allows the entire body to meet higher weight-bearing, mobility, and adaptability standards. The ankle, along with the foot, enables us to perform basic human functions like standing, walking, running, and jumping while also serving as a ground connection. Its physiology enables it to withstand the stress of our body weight while also adapting and reacting quickly to changes in the environment and walking surface.

Have been under the care of Dr Freeman when I started and now under Dr. Cerrelo. Both doctors have only my best interest and quality of life as their main focus. I have numerous herniated disc and other health issues that have tortured me daily. Dr. Carrillo has me on minimum medication and to a point where I can enjoy each day. Highly recommend trying them if at wits end.
