Ankle / Foot
Your ankles and feet are the foundation of your body, allowing you to stand, walk, run, and stay active. When pain strikes these areas, it can make even the simplest movements feel difficult and frustrating. At Somatic Physical Therapy, we are dedicated to helping you overcome ankle and foot pain so you can return to the activities you love with confidence.
Understanding Ankle and Foot Pain
Whether caused by injury, wear and tear, or underlying conditions, ankle and foot pain is both common and debilitating. Some of the primary causes include:
- Sprains or strains from sports or sudden movements
- Plantar fasciitis, leading to heel pain and stiffness
- Arthritis, affecting joint function and flexibility
- Tendonitis, including Achilles tendon inflammation
- Fractures or stress fractures from overuse or trauma
- Flat feet or other structural abnormalities causing alignment issues
- Nerve problems, such as tarsal tunnel syndrome
- Poor footwear or prolonged standing
Pain in the ankles and feet can reduce your mobility, forcing you to limit your daily life and hindering your ability to stay active. Recognizing the importance of these areas, we offer solutions designed especially for your needs.
