Relieve Pain And Regain Mobility With Targeted Foot And Ankle Therapy
Foot pain can make every step a challenge. At Case Physical Therapy, we specialize in advanced physical therapy for foot pain that targets the root cause — whether it’s pain on the top of the foot, heel discomfort or diabetic foot issues. Our personalized, hands-on approach helps patients regain movement, relieve pain and return to the activities they enjoy.
Understanding The Anatomy Of The Foot
The foot is made up of 26 bones, 33 joints and over 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments— all working together to support movement, balance and weight-bearing. Because of this complexity, even small imbalances or injuries can lead to significant discomfort.
Common Causes Of Foot Pain
Foot pain can occur in various areas — top, bottom, arch, heel or outer edge — and may be caused by:
- Plantar fasciitis — Pain in the heel or arch, especially in the morning
- Metatarsalgia — Pain in the ball of the foot
- Tendonitis — Inflammation in tendons, including the Achilles
- Flat feet or high arches — Structural issues leading to pain and imbalance
- Arthritis — Degeneration in foot and ankle joints
- Diabetic foot pain — Nerve-related pain, numbness or tingling, often noted in both feet
- Stress fractures — From overuse or impact
- Poor footwear or posture — Causing chronic stress on the foot structure
How Physical Therapy For Foot Pain Can Help
Physical therapy for foot pain at Case PT focuses on reducing pain, improving strength and restoring functional mobility. Your plan may include:
- Manual therapy — Hands-on treatment to improve joint and soft tissue mobility
- Gait and posture analysis — Identifying improper mechanics that stress the foot
