Foot & Ankle Pain
Foot pain, heel pain and ankle sprains can limit every step. Physical therapy for foot and ankle problems in Commack, NY at Sunshine Physical Therapy treats the tissue that hurts and the strength, balance and movement habits behind it.
What is hurting your foot or ankle
A few conditions account for most of it.
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Heel pain in the morning, with a sharp first step out of bed, is the classic sign of plantar fasciitis.
Ankle sprains and weak ankles
An ankle sprain (a sprained ankle) can leave you with ankle instability and weak ankles that keep rolling. Balance and strength training reduce that risk.
Achilles tendinitis
Achilles pain above the heel comes from overload and responds to the right loading program.
Shin splints
Pain along the inner shin after running or a jump in activity.
Flat feet
Flat feet are common and not always painful. When they hurt, strengthening and footwear changes can help.
After a fracture or a walking boot
After weeks in a boot, the ankle is stiff and the calf is weak. Physical therapy restores motion and strength and gets you walking normally again.
How physical therapy helps
Hands-on care
Manual therapy and taping to ease pain and restore motion.
Strength and balance
Foot and ankle strengthening, with balance and proprioception training.
Gait analysis
We watch how you walk or run and fix what overloads the foot.
Related care
Foot pain often links to the knee (knee pain), to running and sport (sports injury rehab) and to surgery recovery (post-surgical rehab). Numbness or burning in both feet is a different problem; call us and we will tell you whether we can help.
