HEEL & ANKLE PAIN
Reclaim Your
Active Lifestyle.
Consistent pain in your heel or ankle may seem like a basic symptom, but the impact can be enormous. When the uncomfortable cost of activity becomes too high, it robs you of the things you love.
Many come to believe that aching feet are just a "part of life," but you do not have to resign yourself to a life of pain. At Rainier Foot & Ankle Associates, we specialize in determining root causes and providing treatments that directly address them.
What is Causing
My Pain?
Our feet are built to endure great amounts of pressure, with every step creating force equal to more than our body weight. However, abnormalities in the structure of the foot can cause forces to shift and concentrate, making you prone to injury.
Structural Imbalances
These imbalances can be inherently part of your foot structure, but they are often influenced by lifestyle factors. We investigate the mechanical distribution of weight across your feet to find exactly where the breakdown occurs.
Influencing Factors
-
Footwear Choices High heels or shoes that are too flat can shift clinical pressure points.
-
Work Environment Standing all day on hard surfaces or long periods of stooping creates repetitive trauma.
-
Activity Intensity Exercising at intensities your supportive structures aren't yet conditioned to take can lead to collapse.
