Foot / Ankle Pain

If you’ve got foot or ankle pain, stiffness or an ache - it’s very tempting to think that it’s nothing, that it will go away on its own. Or, you pass it off as having just “stepped awkwardly”, or that it’s just a “spasm” or a bit of stiffness that “everyone” your age suffers from...

There’s no obvious reason why it happened - but it doesn’t seem to be shifting!

If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone - and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, Foot and Ankle Pain is one of THE most common problems that we see in our physiotherapy clinic in Hamilton, ON.

And when it comes to living with foot and ankle pain, everybody we see wants to know

or

Most people think that when they get foot and ankle pain, it’s just going to go away on its own.

That they’ll wake up one morning and like “magic”, it’ll be as if foot and ankle pain never happened… But then 6 months later you’re still living with foot or ankle pain - often even worse than it was when it came on.

Another scenario we see all the time in our physiotherapy clinic is when people go to the Doctors, and the Doctor tells them to rest and “try these painkillers” and “see how it goes”.

But this is rarely ever the best advice and often 6 weeks later, they end up going back to the Doctor again because it hasn’t got any better. Worse, they’re often given yet another prescription of even stronger pills, and advised MORE rest. This is madness and explains why so many people aged 50+ are suffering with chronic foot and ankle pain.

Why else does foot and ankle pain last longer than it should? Well, it’s easy to get confused because you’ve been told different things, by different people. There’s lots of people out there who are happy to dispense advice - but not all of it is credible.

Maybe you think your foot or ankle pain was caused by doing something - like lifting or stepping awkwardly - but really it was caused by years and years of poor posture that caused the muscles in your lower leg and foot to become weak and the lifting or the awkward stepping was just the EFFECT of that.

If you don’t know what you’re doing - foot and ankle pain can be very confusing and because of this, many people just end up accepting it as ‘part of life’ - as if it’s normal, and ‘just the way it is’.
