Foot & Ankle Pain
Comprehensive Treatment for Foot & Ankle Pain at Physio & More
Foot and ankle pain can severely limit mobility and negatively impact your daily life. At Physio & More, we specialise in treating a variety of Foot & Ankle conditions, including Simple Sprains, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinopathy, Nerve Compression, and Morton Neuroma. Using advanced diagnostic tools and personalised treatment plans, we aim to get you back on your feet and pain-free.
Common Causes of Foot & Ankle Pain We Treat
- Ligament Sprain
Ankle sprains occur when the ligaments that support the ankle are stretched (low-grade) or torn (high-grade), usually due to sudden twisting or turning. While a Ligament Sprain can heal with rest, proper treatment ensures a faster and more effective recovery. Our physiotherapy team provides manual therapy, exercise programs, and support to restore strength and stability to prevent future injuries. - Plantar Fasciitis
A painful condition that affects the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot from the heel to support the long arch of the foot. This condition can cause sharp pain, especially when taking your first steps in the morning or ache relentlessly after a long day on your feet. Our treatments focus on offloading the arch to reduce inflammation, before stretching the fascia and strengthening the foot muscles to alleviate pain and prevent recurrence. - Achilles Tendinopathy
This occurs when the Achilles tendon becomes inflamed or degenerative due to overuse or ‘wear and tear’. This condition is problematic for both elite athletes and weekend warriors, and common amongst running and jumping sports such as triathlon, basketball, dancing and football. At Physio & More, we focus on reducing inflammation, improving tendon strength and conditioning, and guiding you through a structured rehabilitation program that helps return to full-time activity whilst preventing future injuries. - Nerve Impingement
Several patterns of nerve impingement in the foot or ankle can result in tingling, numbness, or shooting pain along the top or underside of the foot. This condition can be caused by prior injuries, swelling, or tight footwear. A comprehensive approach involves manual therapy, gait assessment and footwear review works to relieve pressure on the nerve and restore normal function. - Morton Neuroma
A condition where intermetatarsal nerve and surrounding tissue in the foot becomes thickened and scarred, causing sharp, burning pain or a sensation that you’re standing on a pebble. Our physiotherapy team uses manual therapy, orthotics, and exercises to reduce pressure on the scarred nerve and alleviate symptoms.
Advanced Diagnostics with Ultrasound Imaging
At Physio & More, we use diagnostic ultrasound to assess foot and ankle conditions with precision. Ultrasound provides real-time imaging of soft tissues, tendons, and bones, allowing us to identify issues like Stress Fractures, Achilles Tendinopathy, or Nerve Compression and develop a treatment plan that targets the source of your pain.
Our Approach to Foot & Ankle Pain Treatment
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment
During your initial consultation, we will perform a thorough physical examination of your foot and ankle, assessing your range of motion, muscle strength, and any signs of inflammation. If necessary, we will use diagnostic ultrasound imaging, including Achilles tendon ultrasound, to accurately diagnose your condition, such as a Ligament Injury or Plantar Fasciitis.
Step 2: Customised Treatment Plan
Based on your diagnosis, we will create a personalised treatment plan that may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and rehabilitation techniques. Whether you are suffering from Acute Tenonsynovitis or dealing with chronic Achilles Tendinopathy, our specialised treatments are designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function.
Step 3: Rehabilitation and Prevention
Our goal is not only to treat your current pain but also to prevent future injuries. We provide education on proper footwear, activity modification, and exercises to strengthen the foot and ankle, ensuring long-term recovery. For conditions like Morton Neuroma and Nerve Impingement, we focus on reducing pressure and improving foot mechanics to prevent recurrence.
