Foot & Ankle Pain
The foot is the first point of contact and the shock absorbed for the rest of the body.
Foot and ankle pain can be felt while walking, standing after prolonged sitting, going up and down stairs, hiking/walking on uneven surfaces, and you may feel throbbing at the end of the day.
It is possible to damage the strong ligaments on either side of the ankle with excessive ankle twisting.
Treatment:
Treatment begins with an in depth assessment of the bones, ligaments, and muscles surrounding the foot and ankle.
Tightness is common in the calf region and on either sides of the ankle which responds well to manual treatments such as Graston, massage, mobilisation, manipulations, and targeted strengthening and stretching for increased mobility and stabilization.
Common foot and ankle conditions we treat:
-Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
-Inversion and eversion sprains
-Tendonitis (achilles tendonitis, posterior tibialis tendonitis)
