Foot, heel and ankle pain are regularly treated here at T4 Physio, but there are numerous contributing factors and potential diagnoses that can be concluded from a foot, heel, or ankle complaint.
One common cause is plantar fasciitis, which refers to pain in the band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. This condition will likely cause a sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, especially during the first steps of the day.
We also commonly encounter ankle sprains. This is when the ligaments that support the ankle stretch or tear, usually due to a sudden twist or turn. These injuries can cause significant pain, swelling and difficulty walking.
Another frequent cause is Achilles tendonitis, which involves the inflammation of the Achilles tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This condition often results in pain and stiffness at the back of the heel, particularly after exercise.

Why Am I Experiencing Foot & Ankle Pain?
The impact of foot, heel and ankle pain on daily life can be substantial. People may find it challenging to engage in regular exercise, which can lead to the development of a sedentary lifestyle – a concern that brings with it a whole host of other health issues. Simple tasks like walking upstairs, carrying bags from the supermarket, or playing with your children or grandchildren can become daunting due to the pain and limited mobility.
Furthermore, chronic foot, heel and ankle pain can affect a person’s mental and emotional well-being. The constant discomfort and inability to participate in favourite activities can lead to frustration, stress and even depression.

Understanding Your Foot & Ankle Pain
Managing foot, heel and ankle pain involves a combination of self-care strategies and manual therapy. One of the first steps in managing this pain is to temporarily avoid activities that can exacerbate the symptoms. Applying ice to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and numb the pain. Elevating the foot and using compression bandages can also assist in managing swelling. Many of these techniques are only intended for short-term relief and a thorough assessment, like what we can offer you, is the only solution to fix the problem.
Wearing appropriate footwear is also crucial in preventing further injury to the foot and ankle. Shoes that provide adequate support, cushioning and a good lift can alleviate stress on the feet and reduce pain. Nash, an orthotics specialist, may recommend inserts or custom-made shoes for individuals with specific foot issues like flat feet or high arches.
