Are You Suffering From Foot & Ankle Pain On Delmarva?
What Is Foot and Ankle Pain?
One of the most common causes of foot and ankle pain is injury. Sprains occur when ligaments are overstretched or torn, often due to twisting or impact. Fractures can result from trauma or excessive stress on the bones, which can cause significant discomfort, typically from sudden or repetitive movements. Arthritis is another major contributor to foot and ankle pain.
At Phirst Physical Therapy, we know how minor foot and ankle problems can very quickly turn into big ones which is why we specialize in treating foot and ankle pain promptly before the condition deteriorates.
What Are The Symptoms of Foot and Ankle Pain?
If you’ve been suffering from foot and ankle pain, you’ve likely tried many different remedies to find relief. You might have searched online for solutions and tried different socks, arch supports, over-the-counter medications, nutritional supplements, or exercises recommended by a friend or relative who had a similar issue.
However, foot and ankle symptoms can vary widely. You might be dealing with an Achilles injury, causing sharp pain in the back of your calf and heel. Or perhaps it’s plantar fasciitis with pain in the bottom of your foot or heel pain, or maybe it’s pain right in the ankle that makes it unbearable to push off when walking. These types of pain can severely impact your life because your foot and ankle are crucial for mobility.
As a result, you might find yourself avoiding walks with your spouse or skipping social occasions. Hobbies like running, playing pickleball, or other activities you used to enjoy may no longer be possible. Over time, this immobility can lead to other issues. You might notice that your diet isn’t as healthy, you’re gaining weight, and your mood is worsening due to constant pain.

What Is Our Approach To Fixing / Treating Foot & Ankle Pain?
We have worked with thousands of people who experience foot and ankle pain. We aim to treat these conditions naturally, helping individuals avoid painkillers, injections, or surgery by using physical therapy and other natural processes. Our treatment methods include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, laser therapy, and dry needling to address various conditions like ankle sprains, dislocations, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendonitis.
These conditions can be debilitating, limiting activities such as walking, running, climbing stairs, or even standing for long periods. Our goal is to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and strengthen the affected areas, helping patients return to the activities they love. Foot and ankle pain can also interfere with daily responsibilities, including taking care of yourself and your family, which makes addressing these issues all the more important.
We use a combination of therapies, such as manual therapy and joint mobilizations, alongside therapeutic exercises like active and manual stretching. Additionally, laser therapy and dry needling are employed when appropriate. Stretching is also used to improve the flexibility of tight tissues, and laser therapy or dry needling may be incorporated to further alleviate pain.
