Foot & Ankle Pain
Foot pain, heel pain and ankle problems are usually plantar fascia, tendon or ligament problems, and physical therapy treats the cause rather than only the sore spot. Logos Physical Therapy treats plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, Achilles tendinitis and shin splints in Perth Amboy and Somerville, New Jersey.
Foot and ankle problems we treat
Where it hurts and when tells us what to do.
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Heel pain in the morning, with the first steps out of bed, is the classic sign of plantar fasciitis.
Ankle sprains and weak ankles
A sprained ankle that keeps rolling needs balance and strength work, not only rest. Ankle instability is common after a first sprain.
Achilles tendinitis and shin splints
Achilles pain and shin splints come from loading the lower leg faster than it can adapt.
After a fracture or a walking boot
Recovery after a broken foot or ankle restores motion, strength and a normal walking pattern.
Flat feet, shoes and support
Flat feet and worn shoes change how force travels up the leg, and your therapist looks at both. Christine Carlo’s care includes custom orthotic and mobility recommendations, and taping can calm a painful foot while you strengthen it.
Treatment also includes manual therapy, foot and ankle strengthening and balance training. Knee problems that travel with foot pain are on knee pain, and running-related injuries on sports injury rehab. Shockwave therapy for stubborn heel and Achilles pain is described on shockwave therapy. Numbness or burning in both feet belongs on peripheral neuropathy. You can come to Logos with a physician’s referral or ask for care directly.
Questions we hear about foot and ankle pain
After an ankle sprain, many people ask when they can walk normally again. Recovery after a fracture or walking boot is described on post-surgical rehab, and balance problems that keep you unsteady are on vestibular rehab.
