Frequently Asked Questions About Physical Therapy
How can foot and ankle problems cause knee, hip, or back pain?
Your feet are the foundation of the kinetic chain. When the foot or ankle moves incorrectly, the body compensates up the chain, placing abnormal stress on the knees, hips, pelvis, and spine. Correcting foot and ankle mechanics often relieves pain in areas far from the feet themselves.
What foot and ankle conditions do you treat?
Plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains and instability, Achilles tendinitis, flat feet and fallen arches, bunions, post-surgical rehab, shin splints, stress fractures, neuropathy-related balance issues, and gait abnormalities.
Do I need a referral to see a foot and ankle physical therapist?
In Florida you can begin physical therapy through direct access. Contact our North Miami, Aventura, or Wynwood clinic and our team will guide you through insurance and next steps.
