What can cause ankle and foot pain?

Foot and ankle pain can have many possible causes. It may develop gradually or follow an injury, a change in activity or an increase in walking, running or standing.

Common problems include:
• Previous or repeated ankle sprains
• Ankle or foot stiffness
• Heel or plantar fascia-related pain
• Muscle or tendon problems
• Changes in activity or training
• Increased walking or time spent standing
• Changes in footwear
• Problems following sporting activity

Common symptoms

You may experience:

• Pain around the heel or arch
• Ankle pain or stiffness
• Discomfort on the top or underneath the foot
• Pain when walking, running or exercising
• Discomfort after standing for long periods
• Stiffness when you first start moving
• A feeling of weakness or instability following an ankle injury
• Calf or lower-leg discomfort alongside your symptoms

If foot or ankle pain is affecting your everyday activities or stopping you doing things you enjoy, an assessment can help you understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.

How do we assess foot and ankle problems?

Depending on your symptoms, we may look at:

• Your walking and general movement
• Ankle mobility
• The muscles around the ankle and lower leg
• Previous injuries
• Your footwear
• Your exercise and activity levels
• Recent changes to your training or daily activities

We may also consider the surrounding areas, such as the calf, knee or hip, where relevant. This doesn't mean that foot pain necessarily comes from somewhere else. Looking at your overall movement simply helps us understand your individual circumstances.

How can So Healthy help?

Following your assessment, we'll explain our findings and discuss the options that may be appropriate for you.

Chiropractic care
Where appropriate, your chiropractor may use joint mobilisation or manipulation techniques to the ankle or surrounding areas.

If your symptoms involve other areas, such as the knee, hip or lower back, these may also be considered as part of your assessment.

Sports Therapy
Our Sports Therapist in Matlock can also help with a range of sports-related and muscular problems affecting the foot, ankle and lower leg.
Depending on your individual circumstances, Sports Therapy may include hands-on soft-tissue techniques, movement advice and exercises.

Exercise and movement advice

Depending on your symptoms, we may recommend appropriate exercises or stretches to support movement and strength.

We'll take your current activity levels and goals into account rather than giving you a standard programme.

Esther was really helpful. Explained the process well as it was my first time and I left feeling better than when I went in!

I go to the Kempston branch to see Esther. She is thorough and efficient when she treats me but also is kind and compassionate. I always come away feeling better than when I walked in.

I have been using the so healthy wellness centre for many many years now and having a quality chiropractor available to see each month has helped me to keep playing tennis 🎾, plus doing many others things that I don’t think I’d be able to do if I didn’t have these regular checkups and adjustments. Many thanks
