Are You Suffering From Foot & Ankle Pain In East Islip, NY?
Pain in the foot and ankle can be caused by a variety of conditions or injuries. This pain can be caused by factors such as overuse, sprains, fractures, arthritis, tendonitis, or plantar fasciitis. The foot and ankle are some of the most complex structures in the human body as they’re made up of bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, all working together to support the body’s weight and facilitate movement. The underlying cause of the pain will determine the type of treatment required, which may involve hands-on physical therapy or regenerative healing technology such as shockwave or red-light therapy may be appropriate. At PREP Physio, we believe that all-natural treatment options should be explored before surgery is considered.
What Are The Symptoms?
The foot and ankle are made up of tiny bones and sophisticated structures that get you to where you want to go. Your foot alone has 26 bones and 33 joints. A problem with one or more of these structures can cause discomfort every time your foot hits the ground. This pain might be constant or occur intermittently and often worsen with movement. Swelling and stiffness are common symptoms of foot and ankle pain, often making it difficult to move freely. A limited range of motion can severely restrict your ability to perform daily activities. This limitation can impact everything from routine movements like climbing a flight of stairs to participating in sports, affecting the overall quality of your life.

What Is Our Approach To Treating Foot & Ankle Pain?
If you’ve been struggling with persistent foot or ankle pain, you might have already sought care from a podiatrist, possibly receiving injections or medications. You may have also tried chiropractic care or physical therapy, focusing on foot exercises.
However, these treatments may have provided only short-term relief without addressing the underlying issues. Often, the pain will return once you return to your daily activities.
Clients who come to the clinic often experience symptoms like stiffness, swelling, difficulty walking, and an inability to run or change directions.
As proponents of manual therapy, our approach is to identify the root cause of the pain and understand why it has persisted for so long. We then devise a targeted treatment plan that addresses your specific condition as not all foot and ankle conditions are the same. Sometimes, issues in the foot or ankle may have been missed or overlooked, or the pain might stem from other areas of the body, such as the hip or trunk, due to weakness or instability.
Treatment at PREP Physio is personalized, with the clear aim to improve movement, alleviate pain, reduce swelling and stiffness, and ultimately strengthen the affected areas. The goal is to help you return to walking, running, and engaging in sports or activities that require agility and direction changes. If you’ve been struggling with long-term foot or ankle pain, consider reaching out to the clinic. You can call, text, or set up a discovery visit to explore how to get back on your feet and regain your active lifestyle.
