Unlocking Foot and Ankle Health: Common Injuries and Conditions Treated by Physical Therapists

The foot and ankle are the foundation for our mobility and bear the weight of our daily activities. Unfortunately, they are also susceptible to injuries and painful conditions that can significantly impact our lives. The good news is that our physical therapists are well-equipped to address and treat these issues effectively.

Here are the three most common foot and ankle injuries and painful conditions that physical therapists regularly treat:

• Ankle Sprains: Ankle sprains occur when the ligaments that support the ankle stretch or tear due to sudden twisting or rolling of the foot. This leads to pain, swelling, and instability.
• Plantar Fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition characterized by degenerative breakdown, and in some cases inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It causes heel pain, especially in the morning or after prolonged standing.
• Achilles Tendinitis: Achilles tendinitis involves inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It can result from overuse, trauma, or improper footwear.

Don’t let foot and ankle pain hinder your mobility and quality of life. Gold Coast physical therapists will help you overcome these common conditions and regain comfort and functionality!
