Ankle and Foot Pain
Many of us suffer from ankle and foot pain. This can be due to a twisted ankle, common problems such as plantar fasciitis, or the pain of wearing high heels. The feet take a great deal of strain every day and throughout our lives. Pain in this area can be debilitating and greatly affect our ability to live a normal life. Foot and ankle pain can also affect other areas of the body because our “gait” changes(we limp) to help us reduce pain. although the foot and ankle are very complex correct alignment and foot mechanics are essential for pain-free movement. Once the local problem is fixed, we then look at rehabilitation locally and then up to the hips, pelvis, and lower back. You may not feel problems in these areas but they should always be checked as a matter of good practice.
Common Injuries.
Another common injury is Achilles tendon injury which is seen in Athletic sports such as running and jumping Sports. The injury typically is described as feeling like you were shot or hit in the back of the leg.
Once the local problem is fixed, we can look at rehabilitation locally and then up to the hips, pelvis, and also the lower back. You may not feel problems in these areas but they should always be checked as a matter of good practice.
