Physical Therapy

Your doctor may offer physical therapy as a part of your treatment plan depending on your current condition and diagnoses. Physical therapy is usually provided by a certified therapist who is specially trained to utilize the prescribed modalities to help improve your symptoms. Physical therapy may include ultrasound, phono / iontophoresis, electrical stimulation, whirlpool therapy, deep tissue massage, stretching, range of motion exercises, muscle strengthening, and gait training. Physical therapy has been proven to increase motion and reduce the pain and swelling associated with many foot and ankle conditions.
