Ankle Pain

  • Tibialis Posterior Tendonitis

    Tibialis posterior tendonitis is a condition where the tendon supporting the arch of the foot becomes inflamed, leading to pain and discomfort. Our approach to tibialis posterior tendonitis involves a thorough assessment to determine the severity and underlying causes of the condition. We then create a personalized treatment plan that may include exercises to strengthen the affected tendon, stretching to alleviate tightness, and modalities to reduce inflammation. By addressing tibialis posterior tendonitis, we aim to alleviate pain, improve tendon function, and provide a solid foundation for your recovery.

  • Achilles Tendonitis

    Achilles tendonitis can be a source of persistent heel and calf pain. Our therapists are well-versed in managing this condition, offering therapies to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote healing of the Achilles tendon. We employ exercises to strengthen the calf muscles, eccentric loading techniques, and modalities to support the healing process. Our goal is to not only alleviate your immediate pain but also prevent future episodes of Achilles tendonitis and enhance your overall lower limb function.

  • Ankle Sprains

    Ankle sprains, whether mild or severe, can limit your ability to move comfortably and lead to chronic instability. Our treatment plans for ankle sprains are tailored to the extent of the injury. We provide pain management strategies, including modalities like ice and ultrasound, to reduce swelling and discomfort. Our rehabilitation programs involve exercises to strengthen the ankle, improve balance, and restore proprioception. We focus on ensuring that your ankle heals properly, minimizing the risk of future sprains and instability.

  • Neuroma

    Neuromas can cause discomfort and pain in the ball of the foot, often described as a feeling of walking on a pebble. Our therapists employ techniques to manage symptoms and alleviate pressure on the affected nerve. Treatment may include custom orthotics to relieve pressure, therapeutic modalities for pain relief, and exercises to correct gait abnormalities. We work to improve foot mechanics and provide guidance on footwear choices to prevent neuroma recurrence.

  • Metatarsalgia

    Metatarsalgia, characterized by pain in the ball of the foot, can make walking and standing painful. Our approach involves a comprehensive assessment to identify contributing factors such as abnormal foot mechanics or poor footwear choices. We then develop a personalized treatment plan that may include exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the metatarsals, orthotics to redistribute pressure, and modalities for pain relief. Our goal is to alleviate discomfort, improve foot function, and enable you to resume your regular activities pain-free.

  • Shin Splints

    Shin splints can be the result of overuse or improper biomechanics, causing pain along the front of the lower leg. We conduct a thorough assessment to determine the causes of shin splints and create an individualized treatment plan. This plan may involve exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the shin, gait analysis to correct running or walking mechanics, and modalities to reduce inflammation. Our approach aims to alleviate pain, improve lower limb function, and prevent recurring shin splints.
