Foot and ankle pain · Farmers Branch & North Dallas
# Physical therapy for foot and ankle pain
Heel pain with your first steps in the morning. An ankle you've rolled so many times you don't trust it. An Achilles that tightens up every time you pick up the pace.
Your feet are the first thing that hits the ground, every step, every landing. When they can't absorb load well, everything above them pays. We find out why, then build feet and ankles you don't have to think about.

What we treat
## Foot and ankle problems we treat
Most of these aren't bad luck. They're tissue being asked to do more than it's ready for.
1
### Ankle sprains that never fully healed
Rolled it once, then again. Now it feels loose, weak or stiff, and you're careful every time you land or cut.
2
### Achilles pain
Achilles tendinopathy that flares with speed, hills or jumping, and rehab after an Achilles tear.
3
### Heel and arch pain
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain that's worst with the first steps in the morning or after sitting.
4
### Calf strains
Calves that keep tweaking, cramping or tightening up mid run or mid game.
5
### Stiff ankles
Ankles that won't bend enough to squat deep, lunge or run without something else compensating.
6
### Shin and lower leg pain
Shin splints and lower leg pain that builds with mileage or impact.

The real reason
## Why your foot and ankle keep hurting
Your foot and ankle are built to absorb and return force with every step. When they can't, the tissue that's left doing the work gets irritated.
1
### An old sprain left something behind
A sprain that healed without real rehab often leaves an ankle that's stiff, unstable, or both. That changes how you move for years, sometimes all the way up to the knee and hip.
2
### Tendons need load, not just rest
Achilles and plantar fascia pain usually means the tissue isn't strong enough yet for what you're asking of it. Rest calms it. Progressive load is what rebuilds it.
3
### Inserts and stretching only go so far
Orthotics, night splints and calf stretches can take the edge off. They rarely build the capacity that keeps it from coming back.
Your evaluation
## What happens in a foot and ankle evaluation
1
### Your full story
Every sprain, surgery and flare-up, what you've tried, and exactly what you're trying to get back to.
2
### How your feet and ankles handle load
Balance, ankle mobility, calf and foot strength, single-leg control, hopping and landing if it matters to you. Plus how your knees and hips are involved.
3
### A clear plan
What's driving your pain, what we're going to change first, and how we'll build you back to running, jumping or playing.
Our take
## Why most foot and ankle rehab falls short
Ankle alphabets, towel scrunches and a pair of inserts. Most foot and ankle rehab stops the moment you can walk without pain.
Walking isn't the goal. If you run, play basketball or train hard, your foot and ankle need to handle hopping, cutting and landing again, at full speed. We build you back to that, so the next awkward step doesn't put you back at square one.
Real results
## What foot and ankle patients get back
### Back on the court after an Achilles tear
After trying several clinics, an Achilles rehab built around getting back to basketball, not just walking.
### Dozens of rolled ankles, finally solid
Years of sprains and knee pain. Back to basketball, worry free.
### Faster than before the injury
Chronic ankle and knee problems from running. Now pain free, and running better than before the injuries.

**Saahil A.**

FAQ
## Frequently asked questions
### Can physical therapy help plantar fasciitis?
Yes, for most people. Plantar fasciitis usually means the tissue under your foot isn't strong enough for the load it's getting. Progressive strengthening of the foot and calf, plus smarter loading, fixes it more reliably than rest and stretching alone.
### Do I need orthotics?
Usually not long term. Inserts can calm symptoms while we build strength, but most people do better once their feet and ankles can handle the load on their own.
### My ankle still feels weak months after a sprain. Is that normal?
It's common, but it doesn't have to stay that way. Sprains that heal without real rehab often leave an ankle that's stiff or unstable, which is why it keeps rolling. Balance, strength and landing work fixes that.
### Should I stop running with Achilles pain?
Usually not completely. Tendons respond to the right amount of load. We adjust how much and how hard you run while we build the tendon back up, so you don't lose all your fitness.
### Do you do rehab after an Achilles tear or ankle surgery?
Yes. We follow your surgeon's guidelines and build you all the way back to running, jumping and your sport, not just to walking.
### How long does it take?
Most people feel a difference in the first few weeks. A full plan is usually 6 to 12 weeks, depending on how long it's been going on and what you're getting back to.
### When should I see a doctor first?
If you can't put weight on your foot after an injury, felt a pop in your Achilles, have a swollen, warm and red calf, or have numbness that's getting worse, see a physician first. Otherwise, you can start with physical therapy without a referral.
