Foot and Ankle Dysfunctions

The human foot contains 26 bones, about 13% of the body’s total number. Connecting this set of bones to the lower leg is the ankle, a joint we greatly rely on to provide both stability (supporting our weight while standing) and mobility (allowing us to walk, run, and jump). Considering all that we ask of our feet and ankles, it’s no surprise that this intricate structure is a common site for tears, strains, sprains, and fractures.

SSPT’s approach to treating foot and ankle dysfunctions

Your SSPT physical therapy for foot and ankle dysfunctions may include:

• Assessment of gait and range of motion to detect issues that might contribute to a foot or ankle problem
• Customized orthotic devices to help support or correct ankle function
• Education about behaviors that reduce stress on your joints
