Physical Therapy for
Foot, Ankle Pain & Injuries
Your feet and ankles are the foundation of your movement. Together, they carry your weight, absorb impact, and keep you balanced. With 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments, even a small injury can make walking or standing painful. From everyday sprains to long-term conditions like plantar fasciitis, these injuries can keep you from living life fully.
Common Types of Foot and Ankle Injuries
Foot and Ankle injuries can vary widely, but some of the most common include:
Ankle sprains when happen when ligaments are overstretched or torn, leading to pain, swelling, instability.
Fractures from falls, accidents, or sports injuries often require rehabilitation to restore mobility after casting or surgery.
Inflammation of tendons such as Achilles, causes stiffness, pain, and difficulty with daily activity.
Overuse or improper footwear often causes aching pain along the shinbone, especially in runners and athletes.
Small cracks in the bone from repetitive stress can cause sharp pain that worsens with activity.
Calcium buildup on the heel bone may cause stabbing pain, often linked to plantar fasciitis or overuse.
Inflammation of the plantar fascia, the band of tissue along the foot, is one of the most common cause of heel pain.
Repeated ankle sprains can lead to chronic instability, making future injuries more likely.
