Chronic Pain Treatment
in Maryland & Delaware

Ankle sprains are a common occurrence amongst active people and can occur with running, walking on uneven surfaces, or even jumping. Most often, the injury happens when the foot twists inward and the ligaments on the outside of the ankle are stretched or torn. Research shows up to 80% of people who suffer from a sprained ankle will endure re-injury at some point in the future. Other common foot ankle injuries include Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis. Ankle pain can also be a chronic issue, such as with arthritis.​

Recurrence rates for injuries, such as an ankle sprain, have been reported to be as high as 80%. Physical therapy can not only help individuals recover faster , but can also reduce the risk of recurrence for an injury.  Receiving early physical therapy intervention can maximize results.

A physical therapist will complete a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying cause of your pain and will create a customized program to address your needs. This examination may include screening the entire lower quarter including your spine, hip, and knee as these can often contribute to your pain.
