Foot specialist: Podiatrists and orthopedists with fellowship training in foot and ankle surgery are experts in matters of the foot and ankle. You may also see your primary care physician and get a referral if appropriate.

Sports MD or DPM: Lots of seemingly mild injuries around the ankle area turn out to have complex problems. A sports medicine foot and ankle doctor is more likely to look for (and more likely to find) the root cause.
