ANKLE/FOOT PAIN

When you have foot and ankle pain, it can affect your movement and posture, potentially causing undue pressure and pain in other parts of your body. The weight of your body is transferred to the ground through your feet and ankles, comprising multiple joints and all of the muscles, tendons and ligaments around them. Injury or degeneration of these structures can cause foot and ankle pain and affect the way you live. Common painful ankle/foot conditions include:

  • Osteoarthritis of the ankle, foot or toe joints
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Achilles Tendonitis/tendonosis

  • Sprains and strains of the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine
  • Herniated discs
  • Stress fractures and dislocation 
  • Pain and inflammation of the facet joints
  • Whiplash
