Frequent Reasons for Foot and Ankle Discomfort
Foot and ankle discomfort may result from a sudden injury or gradually develop due to a long-term condition. As noted by the Mayo Clinic, several common factors can lead to pain in these areas, such as:
Fallen arches
When the tendons in your foot don’t work together correctly, they can fail to form a proper arch—resulting in a condition called flat feet or fallen arches. This can lead to discomfort or pain over time.
Arthritis
Arthritis is a joint inflammation that causes pain, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most common types. Both can significantly affect the foot and ankle joints.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome
Tarsal tunnel syndrome happens when the nerve running from the ankle to the foot becomes compressed and inflamed.
Plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of the foot, often caused by overuse, poor posture, or unsupportive footwear.
Bursitis
Bursitis happens when tendons rub against fluid-filled sacs called bursae, leading to irritation and discomfort.
Tendinitis
Tendinitis occurs from excessive overuse of the tendons, causing them to become inflamed for a long time
Fractures
A fracture happens when strong force or trauma causes a bone to crack or break. Foot or ankle fractures often require weeks of rest for full recovery.
Strains and sprains
A strain happens when a muscle or tendon is overstretched or torn, while a sprain involves overstretching or tearing a ligament.

Addressing Foot and Ankle Pain with Physical Therapy in Fresh Meadows
If you're dealing with foot or ankle pain, whether from a recent injury or a long-term condition, our experienced physical therapists are here to help. We’ll start with a comprehensive evaluation to identify the root cause of your pain and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
For acute injuries, initial care may include the RICE method (rest, ice, compression, elevation) to reduce swelling and discomfort. Once the inflammation subsides, or if you're managing a chronic issue, your therapy will focus on restoring strength, flexibility, and balance. Your personalized program may involve targeted exercises, mobility work, hands-on manual therapy, and other techniques such as heat or cold therapy, ultrasound, or cold laser therapy.
We also offer guidance on lifestyle adjustments and may recommend supportive footwear to prevent future issues. Don’t let pain slow you down, contact us today to schedule an appointment and take the first step toward better mobility and comfort.
