Although most people tend to avoid receiving a diagnosis in fear of having to undergo an operation. However, our physical therapists will make it their top priority to ensure better functionality of your impacted area where such invasive procedures can be avoided.
When seeing on of our ApexNetwork physical therapists, they will perform a number of tests to correctly diagnose the cause of your ongoing foot pain. Once our physical therapists have the necessary information, they can zero in on what is causing your foot pain. Your pain could be caused by a multitude of things such as:
- Arthritis
- Broken or fractured bones
- Sprains or strains
- Tendonitis
With a correct diagnosis, our physical therapists make it their top priority to reduce your foot pain and increase functionality with the use of a treatment plan designed specifically for you.
Treating Your Foot Pain
Once a Physical Therapy treatment plan has been created, our physical therapists will collaborate with you to guarantee a safe and effective recovery. In order to do so, your physical therapist will assign rehabilitative exercises for you to complete. Before starting the exercise, your therapist will instruct and guide you how to properly complete it, where it will prove to be effective yet painless. As for future exercises, your physical therapist will stay within your pain threshold while gradually expanding the functionality of your foot.
Another form of therapy that is widely used by our physical therapists is Manual Therapy. Manual Therapy is the application of specific skilled treatment, manually performed by the therapist. This type of therapy helps increase range of motion, induces relaxation, helps control pain, and reduces swelling or mobility restrictions. By using manual therapy, the end goal stays the same, but the physical therapist is safely able to push through certain boundaries that you might not do on your own; which ultimately leads to further progress in your painless recovery.
