Stepping into Comfort: Foot and Ankle Pain Solutions
At Elevate Physical Therapy, we are dedicated to providing specialized care to alleviate foot and ankle pain and enhance your ability to walk and move better. Our experienced therapists are well-versed in addressing the unique challenges presented by different foot and ankle conditions.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that results from inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that supports the arch of the foot. If you’re dealing with plantar fasciitis, you might experience sharp, stabbing heel pain, especially in the morning or after prolonged periods of standing or walking. At Elevate Physical Therapy, we offer targeted treatments that aim to reduce pain, inflammation, and strain on the plantar fascia. Our therapies include manual techniques to alleviate tension, specialized exercises to improve foot strength and flexibility, and education on proper footwear and foot alignment.
Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains can occur when the ligaments supporting the ankle are stretched or torn, typically due to an awkward twist or rolling of the ankle. Symptoms of ankle sprains include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected ankle. Our approach to ankle sprain treatment involves modalities to reduce pain and inflammation, manual therapy to restore joint mobility, therapeutic exercises to rebuild stability, gait training, and a gradual return to activity to prevent future injuries. We’ll guide you through the recovery process, ensuring a safe and effective rehabilitation.
Achilles Tendinitis
Achilles tendinitis is the inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This condition often results in pain at the back of the ankle, particularly during activities that involve walking, running or jumping. Our treatment approach combines manual therapy to reduce inflammation and improve mobility, therapeutic exercises to improve tendon strength and flexibility, and guidance on pain management. We’re dedicated to helping you regain full function and prevent future tendon issues.
Foot and Ankle Fractures
Foot and ankle fractures can occur due to various factors, such as sports injuries, falls, or accidents. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected foot or ankle. At Elevate Physical Therapy, we specialize in designing rehabilitation programs for patients recovering from fractures of the ankle or foot. These programs encompass safe and effective exercises to promote bone healing, prevent muscle atrophy, improve gait, and enhance overall function. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support, ensuring you recover optimally and return to your regular activities with confidence.
Morton’s Neuroma
Morton’s neuroma is a condition characterized by thickening of the tissue around a nerve leading to the toes, often causing pain and discomfort. Symptoms may include a burning or sharp pain in the ball of the foot and numbness or tingling in the toes. Our treatments aim to reduce compression on the affected nerve, alleviate pain, and promote foot comfort. We provide guidance on footwear and orthotics to prevent recurrence.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves in the feet and ankles, often leading to symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning pain, or muscle weakness. At Elevate Physical Therapy, we recognize the challenges that neuropathy can bring to your daily life. Our treatment approach involves specialized exercises to improve balance and prevent falls, manual techniques to alleviate pain and improve nerve function, and educational support to help you manage your symptoms. We are dedicated to enhancing your quality of life by providing comprehensive care and empowering you to overcome the obstacles that neuropathy presents.
