Muscle, Tendon & Soft Tissue Injuries

Personalized Treatment for Foot and Ankle Injuries

Muscle and tendon injuries can result from sports, exercise, repetitive movements, sudden changes in activity, or everyday physical demands. These injuries may cause pain, swelling, stiffness, weakness, and difficulty walking.

We evaluate and treat appropriate muscle, tendon, and soft tissue conditions affecting the foot and ankle.

Conditions may include:

  • Muscle strains and overuse injuries.
  • Tendon irritation and tendinopathy.
  • Posterior tibial tendon disorders.
  • Peroneal tendon disorders.
  • Foot and ankle soft tissue injuries.
  • Sports-related foot and ankle pain.
  • Repetitive stress injuries.

Treatment and recovery services may include:

  • Assessment of pain, mobility, strength, and function.
  • Individualized activity modification.
  • Therapeutic exercises and progressive strengthening.
  • Flexibility and mobility exercises.
  • Supportive footwear and orthotics when indicated.
  • Rehabilitation planning to improve movement and reduce the risk of reinjury.

Each treatment plan is tailored to the specific injury, the patient's activity level, and recovery goals.
