Physical Therapy is a combination of techniques designed to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with conditions of the foot. Physical therapy can be extremely useful in painful foot conditions related to trauma or poor foot mechanics as well as in the post-operative period to speed the rehabilitation process. Individuals are assigned a specific treatment plan to correlate with their diagnosis. Therapies implemented in the office include whirlpool therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, contrast therapy, iontophoresis, paraffin wax, and range of motion. Patients may also be assigned a home stretching and strengthening regimen.
