FOOT AND ANKLE PAIN,
- Atlas Physio
Foot Pain and Ankle Pain refer to pain felt below the middle of the calf, and which may involve structures in the foot like the heel, the sole of the foot, and the toes. Foot and Ankle Pain can be caused to muscular, bony, ligamentous or nervous factors.
Common bony problems in the foot include arthritis of the ankle, bones in the foot, and the toes. The human foot is composed of more than twenty bones, held together by a complex scaffold of ligaments, connective tissue, and layers of muscle. All of these bones need to work in concert during movement of the feet, as well as bear the weight of the human body throughout the day. For this reason, Foot Pain and Ankle Pain due to bony causes may occur later in life, due to weardown of bones and joints.
Management of Foot and Ankle Pain depends on the cause of the pain, how it feels and changes over the day, what makes it better or worse, and the length of time you have been experiencing the pain. All of these factors will be addressed in your initial assessment, which is the first step towards minimising and managing any pain or discomfort. At Atlas Physio, we will provide you with education, structured management, and ongoing monitoring of your pain both in and out of the clinic.
