Foot and Ankle Pain

Our commitment to relieving foot pain and ankle injuries, including Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, sprained ankles and running injuries.

Ankles and feet are the foundation of our posture and play a crucial role in most of our physical activities. These sophisticated structures are designed to bear our body weight gracefully and efficiently, often under significant pressure or at high speeds.

The intricate network of muscles, tendons, and ligaments supporting and stabilizing the ankles and feet is usually where painful symptoms arise.

We specialize in rehabilitating unstable ankles prone to twists and injuries and providing relief to runners and athletes who experience foot and ankle pain. These joints endure substantial stress to keep them moving.

We also treat individuals suffering from inflammation or arthritis in the ankles or feet, which can result from previous injuries, mechanical issues like imbalances in hips or knees, or years of high-volume exercise.

Our Osteopathic Approach

To determine the cause of your symptoms and identify the affected structures, we start by gathering comprehensive details about how your symptoms developed, their nature, timing, daily patterns, and any factors that aggravate or alleviate them.

We inquire about any issues with your spine and lower limb joints, your general health, and any significant past events such as accidents or surgeries.

Our examination involves observing your feet, ankles, and the rest of your lower limb, both stationary and in motion. We also assess your pelvis and spine since the overall posture and movement patterns can influence symptoms. We note any restrictions, pain, or asymmetry.

Once we establish a diagnosis, we thoroughly explain our findings and how we can help, including any necessary referrals.

Treatment Techniques

Our treatments involve specific massage, mobilization, and stretching techniques to enhance joint and muscle flexibility, relieve tension, improve movement mechanics, and ensure good circulation for effective recovery.

For ankles and feet, we may also use sports taping to support the affected tissues during healing and provide additional stability throughout the recovery phase.

During your session, we offer advice on exercise, posture, life style and footwear to promote a fast recovery and maintain the benefits of your treatment.
