Taking the stairs, walking to your office, or even driving can become difficult when your feet or ankles hurt. Knox Physical Therapy provides individualized care for acute injuries and chronic pain, helping you improve comfort, mobility, and confidence in movement.
A strain affects a muscle or tendon, while a sprain happens when a ligament is stretched too far or torn.
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can affect the foot and ankle joints, causing pain and limiting comfortable movement.
Overuse can inflame tendons, while irritation where tendons rub against bursae can create persistent discomfort.
Excessive force or trauma can crack or break a bone, often requiring time and guided rehabilitation to support a safe return to activity.
This condition involves irritation of the nerve that runs from the ankle to the foot.
When the tendons that support the arch do not pull together properly, a low or absent arch may lead to discomfort over time.
Inflammation in the connective tissue on the bottom of the foot may be aggravated by constant standing, posture, or footwear without adequate arch support.
Your physical therapist will create a plan specific to your needs. Treatment may combine specialized hands-on manual therapy, exercises, and stretching to restore joint mobility, improve balance, and strengthen the muscles of the foot and ankle. Your plan may also include balance-board exercises, circulation support, and recommendations for lifestyle changes or orthotic footwear to help prevent future problems.
Knox Physical Therapy is committed to helping you return to the activities that matter to you with a plan built around your goals. Start your road to recovery with one-on-one, individualized care.
