Foot and ankle pain can have a major impact on your daily activities, making simple movements like walking or standing challenging. Whether you’re dealing with a dull ache or sharp, stabbing pain, it can severely limit your mobility and quality of life. At Twin Rivers Physical Therapy in Clarkston, WA, our dedicated physical therapists specialize in helping you manage foot and ankle pain, so you can get back to the activities you enjoy with confidence and ease.
Common Foot and Ankle Conditions
Several conditions are common causes of foot and ankle pain, including:
- Plantar Fasciitis: This condition occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue supporting the foot’s arch, degenerates, leading to pain in the heel and arch of the foot.
- Achilles Tendinitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf to the heel, causes pain and stiffness in the back of the ankle.
- Ankle Sprains: Ligament injuries caused by twisting or rolling the ankle result in pain, swelling, and instability.
- Arthritis: Degenerative joint disease affecting the foot or ankle, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
- Bunions: Bony bumps that form at the base of the big toe due to a condition where the big toe drifts toward the smaller toes, often the result of improper footwear, leading to pain and difficulty wearing shoes.
Effective Treatments Used by Our Therapists
Physical therapy plays a key role in both treating foot and ankle pain and preventing future issues. At Twin Rivers Physical Therapy, our therapists perform thorough assessments to identify the cause of your pain and create a personalized treatment plan. Some of the treatments we use include:
