Foot & Ankle Pain

Dr. Ross Price PT. DPT.
Founder of Rejuvenate Physical Therapy

  • The foot and ankle are highly complex, consisting of 26 bones, multiple joints, ligaments, and muscles that work together to provide stability and mobility. The ankle is a hinge joint formed by the tibia (shin bone), fibula, and talus. It allows for flexion and extension. The foot’s arch is supported by muscles like the tibialis posterior, while ligaments provide stability during weight-bearing activities.

  • Foot and ankle pain can stem from conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, ankle sprains, or arthritis. Overuse, improper footwear, and trauma can all contribute to discomfort. Flat feet or high arches can also increase the risk of pain.

    • Rest and avoid activities that exacerbate pain.

    • Apply ice to reduce inflammation.

    • Wear supportive shoes that provide proper arch support.

    • Gently stretch and strengthen the foot and ankle muscles.

  • A personalized evaluation is essential for addressing foot and ankle pain. Treatment may include manual therapy, joint mobilization, and corrective exercises to restore strength and flexibility. Orthotics or footwear adjustments may also be recommended. Physical therapy can help prevent future injuries and promote recovery from both acute and chronic conditions.

Foot and Ankle Pain: Why Am I Still Suffering?

Many patients with foot and ankle pain ask:

"Why is this pain still lingering?"

"Why have previous treatments not worked?"

It’s common to think foot or ankle pain will resolve on its own, but without the proper treatment, it can worsen. At Rejuvenate Physical Therapy, we often see patients who’ve tried resting or painkillers without finding lasting relief. Does this sound like you?

Why Foot and Ankle Pain Lasts Longer Than It Should:

  • You hoped the pain would resolve naturally, but it hasn’t.

  • Your doctor prescribed medication, but the pain returned once the pills wore off.

  • You’ve been told it’s “normal” to experience foot or ankle pain, so you’ve accepted it.

  • Previous treatments from other professionals provided only temporary relief.

  • You tried rest or home remedies, but they haven’t made a lasting difference.

  • You’ve used heat, ice, or compression, but your daily activities still trigger pain.

  • Massages helped initially, but the pain keeps returning.

What Can You Do to Relieve Foot and Ankle Pain?
