Common Injuries
Heel Pain-Plantar Fasciitis
One of the most common conditions I see in the practice is heel pain, also known as plantar fasciitis. This often develops when people increase their walking or exercise, which can place extra strain on the feet. Early assessment and treatment can help relieve pain, restore mobility, and prevent the issue from returning.
Symptoms
Pain in the heel first thing in the morning
Discomfort after sitting or working at a desk
Pain that eases with movement
Assessment
Detailed questions about pain, duration, and triggers
Movement and weight-bearing assessment
Bring orthotics if you use them
Typical Treatment
Ultrasound or acupuncture
Guided rehabilitation exercises to do at home
Home exercises help speed recovery and reduce treatment sessions
Ankle Injuries
Ankle sprains are common, caused by ligaments stretching beyond their limits. Symptoms vary from mild discomfort to severe pain that may require further imaging.
Symptoms
Pain, swelling, or bruising
Difficulty bearing weight
Tenderness around the ankle
Severe cases may involve fractures or dislocations

Acupuncture to reduce pain and swelling
Initial rest and ice to minimize further damage
Progressive rehabilitation exercises to strengthen the ankle and prevent recurrence
