Foot and Ankle Pain Relief

Natalie L.

Before coming to Pure Physical Therapy I was unable to ride my bike for long periods of time without my foot falling sleep and having to stop during my ride to stretch out my back. After treatment with the amazing staff at Pure Physical Therapy I was able to complete a 250 mile bike ride to San Antonio with little to no pain.

Is Pain in Your Foot or Ankles Holding You Back?

Contact us today to speak with one of our licensed McAllen, TX physical therapists and learn more about how our services can benefit you!

Foot and ankle pain can get in the way of your routine

Your feet and your ankles are complex mechanical structures that must work together in harmony in order to function at their optimal level. The Arthritis Foundation states that the ankle joint consists of three bones that all must interact with one another correctly, along with the various connective tissues that hold the assembly of the joint together.

The foot is even more complex, containing approximately two dozen bones, 30 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Because of all the complicated structures that make up your feet and ankles, pain in those areas is a very common affliction.

There are several things that can happen to you to cause foot and ankle pain. An injury to your foot or ankle can result in pain so severe that you avoid putting your weight down.

This leaves you with only two options; hopping around, risking injury to your other foot, or worse, being stuck in a chair, unable to go anywhere, and take care of yourself or others. Even mild pain can cause physical limitations in your daily life!

Possible causes of your foot/ankle pain

There are tons of reasons you might be experiencing pain in your feet or ankles. Foot and ankle pain can occur suddenly due to an acute injury, or it can develop over time in relation to a chronic, underlying condition.

According to the Mayo Clinic, there are several common causes of foot pain and ankle pain, including:

Tarsal tunnel syndrome

Tarsal tunnel syndrome occurs when the tarsal tunnel (the nerve that runs from the ankle to the foot) becomes pinched and painfully inflamed.

Strains and sprains

These are very common injuries, and oftentimes, they get confused with each other! A sprain occurs when a ligament is stretched too far or torn, while a strain occurs when a muscle or tendon is stretched too far.

Plantar fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation in the connective tissue on the bottom of your foot. This can occur from aggravated overuse, such as constant standing, improper posture, or footwear that lacks proper arch support.

Fractures

A fracture occurs from excessive force or trauma to the bone, causing it to crack or break entirely. A fracture to the foot or ankle could result in weeks of downtime to ensure proper healing.

Bursitis

Bursitis occurs when the tendons rub against the “bursae” or anti-friction sacs, causing them to become irritated and uncomfortable.

Arthritis

Arthritis is a common inflammatory condition that affects the joints and results in pain; the most common types including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Both types of arthritis can greatly impact the foot and ankle joints.

Fallen arches

Your foot contains several tendons that work together to form your arch. When the tendons pull together properly, your foot will form a proper arch. However, when the tendons do not pull together properly, your foot will form a very small arch, or no arch at all. This is referred to as “fallen arch” or “flat foot” and can cause pain or discomfort with time.

Tendinitis

Tendinitis occurs from excessive overuse of the tendons, causing them to become inflamed for a long time.
